- "Disappointed, was led to believe it was an unbiased comparison between conventional and regen farming, but it was fairly obvious where each episode was going from the off.Choosing conventional farms not really on top of their game, already overgrazing and of an older generation not keen to change. There are plenty of farms running stock to a high standard you could have chosen for comparison. I am not anti regen, and am/ have tried so.e aspects of it and am not convinced, not bound to work for everyone, but good luck to those it does"

It's fantastic, very interesting, well done. Thanks! I'm a Houston.resident with land an hour west of town, no dwelling on the property. I've been doing 'regenerative ag' on my deer food plots for 3 years and the soil has changed for the better! This film makes me want cattle to see how much they could help the change. We have poor sandy soil, but I believe it can be very fertile. We already see more bugs and birds, just casually observing. Well done, thanks! "

— Anthony - USA - "Hi Very good documentary. I was raised in a small farming community in Ontario Canada most of my public school graduating class where farming families, that was in the 70's. Those farms are now recreational farmed like your show. Gosh things have changed. Please show fulltime smaller farmers prospering would be the road to a real good thing. AMP seems only part of the solution. Cheers Mike "

— Mike - Canada - "This was such a great video series! Thanks to all the scientists and farmers for their efforts. The scariest thing to do is change what you have done for a lifetime. And you had an 80% success with those willing to change. Well Done! One last thing. Your video showed that there wasn't just one appeal you could make for the farmers to change. You explained the financial, wildlife, soil health, and carbon benefits. They could be convinced of one or a combination of factors to help them make a decision to change their ways. Thanks again!"

I am very interested in AMP . Is my farm too small to bother with changing? Where do I find more info?? Thank you for your work & any help you may be able to give me! Sandy Moody 205-902-6461 ( I text!!) Have a granddaughter interested in animal science & would like to share info with her in hopes she can utilize in the future!!"

— Sandy - USA - "I finished ROOTS SO DEEP a bit ago and loved it. I originally somehow stumbled into your clips on Instagram and over a month or two had steadily fallen down a rabbit hole of searching and researching for more, until the whole series was made available via your website. It is very exciting to learn of solutions that have such numerous and varied upsides. First and foremost, it is so nice to hear this story of overwhelmingly optimistic good news. In creating the series you may have first had farmers in mind. I know you have held roadshow screenings in farming communities around the nation. I am not connected to agriculture in any meaningful way, and find these stories incredibly compelling (I can't really stop telling people about AMP). I found the social media clips that you've posted from the series to be particularly good at quickly and clearly conveying the basics, and inspiring a viewer into wanting to know more. I wondered if any thought had been given to the creation of a shorter, 90 minute feature that might be more consumable as an introduction to those who have had no exposure to AMP at all. I am guessing that in fact, considerable consideration has been given to such an idea, and there were myriad reasons that you have taken the route you have. In watching the series I could certainly see a single film that could be cut from the existing footage and might do well on streaming platforms. Just a thought I kept having, so I mention it here. Thank you for the years and years of work you have put into this documentary and study, and congratulations on all your success! (Heard Peter on KCRWs Good Food recently)"

— Keith - USA - "I appreciate the whole systems approach to researching the subject of soil health and the reminder that we should always look for holes in our hypotheses. It represents the antithesis of arrogant and single variant scientific conclusions. Soil health is the key to ecological health, livestock health, human health, family camaraderie, community cohesion and ultimately lessens the footprint mankind has made on mother's Earth. Keep up the good work! "

— Jennifer - USA - "Thought provoking as a small UK Farmer. I was already moving through rotational grazing - but as of now (spring 25) I'm changing to amp grazing. I have already put 1km of solar powered water pipe into all my fields - with tanks in the centres of each field making it possible to create multiple areas of grazing. I know I can make it work with my cattle, just can't see how I can do the same with the sheep! Thank you for opening my mind and my eyes to a better way of working with/along side nature. You films are THE best thing I have watched in years. The trouble is - I want to watch them again. Plus please do a follow up on all the conventional farms as a short follow up - have they changed to amp grazing? Richard. "

— Richard - UK - "Enjoyed all of the films but especially 1 and 4. Beautifully filmed. I fear few younger people will have/find the sort of time needed to watch the whole series and recommend further edits to get each episode shortened to 15 minutes. "

— Bridget - South Africa - "I watched it twice - I thought it was excellent - as a long time organic farmer and Multi Paddock grazier it confirmed a lot that I already believed or knew. Having it backed up the the Science was a nice touch. I do think you missed an important point - It would have been really useful to have the footprint of a feedlot beef animal compared with the traditional pasture and the AMP grazing. That is what people are currently getting in the grocery store - and the environmental impact on all your indicators for confinement animal agriculture would have been a useful thing for your audience to see. I realize it wouldn't have been a paired comparison - but I suspect there is enough info out there on the impact of huge cornfields raising cattle feed on insect populations, bird populations and biodiversity, Pesticide pollution, organic matter (carbon) loss, energy use, fertilizer cost and env impact, and manure and urine pollution that you could have come up with some credible numbers to put on the scales. Great film. The failure to compare AMP grazing with the way most beef in North America is currently being raised was my only concern."

I helped several of my ranching friends and family by recommending many books and YouTube channels to guide them along this path. Now I have one more resource! Thank you for making this and I hope you have another in the works!"

— Dawn - USA - "I really enjoyed the rental, loved seeing the numbers behind the methods. I watched the fourth hour several times. I own a piece of rural property west of Houston, and have been hooked on regenerative agriculture for a few years now, since reading Gabe Brown's book. I'm 3 years into a 5 year experiment on my soil. Poor, sandy soil has changed dramatically, and I'm using no-till, no lime or fertilizer, planting a diverse mix to feed deer and improve soil. I tell folks I'm planting deer food to attract grandchildren (I have 10 grandchildren). I want cows and want to do AMP grazing badly, but need wail e the problem of living in the city. Thanks for sharing your great work! Sincerely, Curt Kates"

When I tried to watch yesterday I couldn't get in so I paid a further $20.My receipt number is 24374201. I watched successfully but today I cannot and now I am asked to pay $5.5. I think I had to overpay with the $20 of yesterday and it only worked for a day. I would like to finish watching as I have only watched one and a half episodes. Regards Rob "

— Robert - South Africa - "Loved it. Now my challenge is to find ways to encourage my plant based friends to consider this different view that challenges everything theyve been taught about meat production. I'd love to see an equivalent set of science on a back yard scale with people keeping chickens even just for eggs and using the chicken tractor approach to adaptively graze/ disrupt the soil and the impact that people can make in their own homes. maybe also including food scraps even though that's illegal in uk.

— Julie - USA - "$20 for a month rental. Partially I can take some blame for not stopping what I'm doing during a busy time of year for not be able to watch it within the 30 day time period however $20 I should be able to watch it at anytime within a yr time frame. There are not many digital movies where you dont own it for $20. I also understand it cost money to produce the series however your funding was provided for the research so extend the rental agreement."

— Bryce - USA - "This were so well done. So full of hope. Wish we could get you out here to Whidbey Island where we actually have native prairie that has been farmed for five generations and needs new regenerative practices. A few young farmers are trying to but the old families need enlightening. The conservation district doesn't seem fully on board or willing to help us very small farmers make it happen. Although David Montgomery has been here I think."

— Anne - USA - "I watched the first episode and then couldn't get all my family together to watch them all! We're a small family farm in Wales and I thought it would be helpful for us to watch them as a multi generational farm to see if would help move us towards a new approach. Is there any chance I could get an extension on my rental? No worries if not, it's my own fault for not being proactive enough. "

I started a new class about dirt/soil/sustainable farming with one of our (Catholic) school's theology teachers. I learned so much from Roots So Deep and will be incorporating these lessons into our high school class. If you have any resources that we could give to the students without having to show the whole series, that would be extremely helpful but I also can summarize it myself if you are too busy! I am trying to produce some young AMP farmers out here. Amazing, inspiring, beautiful project - thank you for sharing this! Tess"

— Tess - USA - "Most of our family loved it. Perhaps, oddly, we share an interest and fondness for soil so this film hits home with us. My eldest daughter said she is ready to be a farmer. My youngest daughter missed the boat though as she didn't realize our access expired on a certain day. Any chance you can extend our access for a few days or a week?"

— chris - USA - "Dear Peter and everyone at the Carbon Cowboys team. My name is Dan LeBlanc, a French Canadian Agro-Ecologist and environmentalist who lives in the Canadian prairies. I've been following Carbon Cowboys on Instagram for a few years now and am very interested in soil management, carbon sequestration and fighting climate change. I have a 40 acre farm in Cooks Creek, Manitoba, Canada and am extremely passionate about planting trees, grasses, wild prairie plant species and rewilding degraded farmland. My mission is to reclaim as much land as possible over my life to bring back birds, insects, mammals and all forms of life above and below ground to help save our planet. Currently we have chickens but no other livestock, and are primarily focused on establishing a solid diversity of plant species to attract wildlife, which is really showing us positive results. You can see some of our success on my Instagram page Soilplantsdan. Eventually we will get livestock once we fence in a pasture and have enough of an area for animals to graze. We will definitely be doing AMP grazing here. This series is an incredible achievement for the agricultural-scientific community and I appreciate the knowledge and passion brought forward in this project. I am also very impressed by the soundtrack all being created by Peter, myself also being a diverse musician who plays many types of instruments. Thank you for your hard work putting this together. You're truly leading the agricultural world in the right direction with these inspiring stories and research. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing more content and really enjoyed watching this series. I'd be more than happy to connect as well! All the best from the Canadian prairies, Dan"

Unfortunately, I could not get the videos to broadcast to our Apple TV, even after multiple tries and restarting our entire system. So I only watched one of the videos by myself on my iPad. I would really like to be able to share this with my family, so I'm sorry the rental has expired before we got to see the videos together."

— Laine - USA - "A fantastic film, explaining a very well set out research project. The information gained and shared in the last episode is thought provoking. The way the film makers were able to bring farmers from differing systems and ideals together to discuss the benefits of AMP grazing shows a special skill in diplomacy sadly missing in much of the world. As a countryman of 58 years that has worked with plants and ecosystems all my life the findings from the project are plainly obvious to see but this puts scientific figures in place of anecdotal evidence. Well done. "
