When soils are healthy, they can store carbon deep underground. Studies that claim to disqualify adaptive grazing practices while only measuring the first 30cm of soils in their fields are missing a ton of data when healthy systems have roots that go down a meter or more! That’s why the Roots So Deep team took meter deep soil cores during their multi-year study. We need to know what’s really happening under our feet. For the full conversation, watch The Peter Byck Show on youtube or wherever you

It began with a phone call… a call that blazed a trail to multiple films (and ground-breaking research) about farmers regenerating their soil with cattle. The farmers and ranchers we have filmed over the years regenerate their soils with practices that make their animals healthier and their operations more profitable. Robust soils enable rainwater to sink into the earth rather than run off; and retain that water, so the ranches are much more resilient in drought. Want to learn more? Watch the pr
