Our first film was soil carbon cowboys, which we filmed in Mississippi (35 inches annual rainfall), North Dakota and Saskatchewan (about 14 inches each of yearly precipitation – rain, snow, dew). I screened soil carbon cowboys all over the world, and folks would say, “yes, it works in those places, but it wouldn’t work where I live.” So I filmed another one, in Georgia – south Georgia to be specific (100,000 beating hearts), and folks said “sure, it’s working in south Georgia, but it won’t work in north Georgia.” So we made a film in northern Georgia (this farm is medicine). “Yeah, but you won’t get those results in South Carolina.” So we made that one (givers & takers). But it was while filming in Norton, Kansas that the “yeah, but syndrome” grabbed me: Michael Thompson (during the drought) and his neighbor planted corn, the same corn, on the same day, in a rolling field – they didn’t even have a fence between their separate properties. Michael had been practicing no-till with cover crops with AMP grazing for 8 years, and his neighbor had not. When we filmed in July, Michael’s corn was taller, and a richer shade of green. His neighbor said, “yeah, but – you got more rain than me.”
