[He’s never cutting hay again… #farmers #farming
John Lyon and his wife have been rotational grazing since 1995. But they’re not running a charity. As Alabama public school teachers, they can’t afford to lose money on cattle.
As John Lyons says: “I have to make a profit.”
Luckily, John has perfected AMP grazing, and no longer pays for fertilizer, hay, antibiotics, or fly control. Instead, he lets his sanitation department take care of the flies: the dung beetles.
His pastures do more than keep his cattle healthy and his pockets full, they’re also the home to several species of wild bird that have been in steep decline for decades.
Tall grasses on AMP grazed farms give shelter to birds like Bobwhite Quail and others – giving farmers access to wild game birds and the pride of knowing they’re healing the lands they steward.
When did you last hear the song of a Bobwhite Quail?
