Greg Judy - 2015 Keynote NOFA/Mass Winter Conference
Greg Judy, rotational grazier and carbon sequestration advocate, presents the 2015 NOFA/Mass Winter Conference keynote speech.
He offers hope for the future of farming and ecology with a focus on species diversity, working with nature, exposing a new generation to farming, integrating permaculture design, developing creative land arrangements and more.
Judy shares what he’s learned as he and his wife transitioned from conventional management intensive grazing to holistic high density grazing seven years ago. The Judy’s, of Clark, Missouri, run a grazing operation on 1580 acres of leased and owned land, made up from 15 farms. They went from near bankruptcy in 1999 to paying off a 200 acre farm and house in 3 years.
The Judy’s graze cows, cow/calf pairs, bred heifers, horses, and stockers, and also own a 250 head grass genetic South Poll cow herd, 300 head St. Croix hair sheep flock and graze pigs. They have also started direct marketing grass-fed beef, lamb and pork. The Judy’s use no lime, no fertilizer, no seeding, no chemicals, and no equipment.
