EPOCH TIMES | American Thought Leaders with Jan Jekielek
Here's how Joel Salatin runs his successful farm business without herbicides, pesticides, vaccines, or government subsidies:

"The basic concept is that you're studying Creation's pattern and order and trying to duplicate that on a domestic scale. I'll just give you an example.
.
…What do we notice when we look at animals in nature? Well, they move. They're not confined in houses, in little cubicles with their tails cut off.
.
…As soon as you say, well, animals move, well, OK, now we need to be able to provide shelter for them that's portable. We need to provide water to them that's portable, feed that's portable.
.
…And what are the symbiotic relationships?

For example, in nature, the wildebeest or the cape buffalo don't get grubicides and parasiticides.

Well, how do they stay healthy?

Birds. Birds follow them. The egret on the rhino's nose, they pick out the little bugs, and they scratch through the dung and spread that out so the sun can solarize it, and it covers more ground.

So we follow our cow herd with Egg-Mobiles, portable chicken houses. The chickens then scratch through the cow patties, eat out the fly larva, disinfect it for the cows the next time they come through. And you have this very natural cycle.

So while the average farm is shooting their cows up with grubicides and parasiticides, we simply collect thousands of dollars worth of eggs as a byproduct of our pasture sanitation program."
