[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 7153366, member: 1232"] I've been to Gabe's farm about 10 years ago (went on my own not as part of a group so I didn't get any "presented version" of anything) and he's a really nice bloke - he also likes a can of coke for breakfast! Also met Neil Dennis there for the first time - such a shame he died because he would have been great on tv, he was so funny. I've also spent a bit of time over the years travelling and speaking to various people who were pioneers in the world that now seems to be called "Regen Ag" but I don't really call it that. BUT! - this is something we all do and we all select the best of ourselves for scrutiny or promote our message and you have to remember that isn't the whole picture, its a version we want to portray. That's human of course. So my point s never be afraid to scrutinise anyone a bit deeper - a film is only giving you a version of what it wants to convey - there are other issues in the background that make some things happen better than others. If I did a video on my farm I would also be showing you my good bits. My 4t/acre second wheat on a field that was no tilled for 10 years and had hardly any inputs. I may choose to turn a blind eye to the failed oilseed rape or the 1.5t acre fat hen/ barley mix!! I love the farming vs the environment debate even though it is a bit shrill at times though I haven't watched the film yet but I will later on. I do think we are developing a bit more towards understanding ecosystem function a bit more nowadays though [/QUOTE]
