With regard to soil quality - if you plant a diverse mix of legumes and forbs for your birds, don't till (use a crimper instead) so that you always have something growing, your soil quality will naturally improve anyway. Just keep laying that green manure down and planting winter rye and brassicas for the winter months and your moisture content will improve, microbes will improve, and soil quality will improve. It's called regenerative farming and it's sooo good for the soil and moisture retention. Forbs will attract insects which will feed the chicks as well.

I think this is amazing. And I totally believe it, because anywhere I have bird feeders, the ground underneath always looks like this from spillage! The stuff grows so well with no help. I'm going to do this on part of my property to make it more bird friendly.

How is your project going since this video. You are fortunate to have land where you can plant food plots, raise, release and feed wild ringneck pheasants. Here in California I have watched the pheasant population be destroyed. New construction and home building have devastated pheasant habitat. I actually saw a pheasant run under a tree that was the last cover that rooster had I believe he didn’t make through the night and was kill and eaten by a predator. Thank you for the video.

I appreciate your ethanol advocacy and good information on the hazards of benzine, xylene and toluene - shocking how the public is driven so far off course by industry propaganda! I can no longer trust FDA/EPA/USDA and the means by which these mouthpeices of big business have straightjacketed the political process and strangled dissent. Can you honestly trust companies like Monsanto, Bayer and etc to inform the public about the potential dangers of GMO when they could stand to loose billions from negative publicity? Is your body old enough to register the ill effects of glyphosate? Are you growing BT corn as well? Yikes!

steven roper 100% of our corn is BT. I live breathe and die GMO crops. I've had straight round up spilt on my hands and arms on accident followed by an immediate rinse and I'm fine and dandy. It is applied to fields on a single pass at such a low rate, months before the grain is even developed..... Nothing to fear. As far as the additives in Gasoline. Those are to fear. Daily expose through an array of ways. Thanks for the comment but I don't fear GMO products..... And neither should you. I respect your opinions
