Starting From Scratch? #regenerativeagriculture #homestead

Interested in Adaptive Multi-Paddock (AMP) grazing but don't have acres upon acres of land? Don't worry, you're not alone! Meet Cooper and Katie Hurst, AMP farmers with valuable insights for those looking to dip their toes into this transformative method.

Cooper suggests starting slow and avoiding overstocking—simply fence off your paddocks with single-strand polywire. It's a cost-effective and efficient way to partition your land and begin practicing rotational grazing. He emphasizes that the only costs for them were the polywire fencing and ensuring paddocks had water access.

And remember, don't expect instant results! According to Katie, it takes about three years to truly witness the positive changes AMP grazing can bring to your land and livestock. So whether you're a small-scale farmer or just passionate about sustainable agriculture, remember that every step toward regenerative practices counts.

Stay tuned for Part 2 where Cooper talks about how they increased their soil organic matter by 5%.
