Merry Christmas, Dan; I hope that I can call you Dan. Since you are an educator, I want to default to Mr. Allosso, but I've read so much of your writing that I feel some familiarity. I've decided to extend my lifelong learning by delving deep into the subject of regenerative agriculture. I will subscribe to two or possibly three online courses and purchase a number of texts. Eventually, I would like to organize my thoughts and experiences into a substack to explain how the subject relates to my own farm and animals. More than anything I want to see if I can come to an understanding of my place in the world through the subject. I think I can see the threads and links but I'm not sure. I suspect the whole cost will be about 3500 dollars. I am wondering if you could give me advice, just a line or two, on setting up a structure and giving myself a time limit. At the end, I should be able to write a "term paper" or two in the form of a substack article with the goal of being able to explain the essence to a non-agricultural person. I'm sorry, this doesn't correlate to what you wrote above. Anthony Summers wrote a book in the 80's about J. Edgar Hoover which covered a lot of the same ground as WW. After reading Summers' book, I felt like any historical research of the US during JEH's time needs to be checked against Hoover's history. It's like writing about the Soviet Union after Lenin without some reference to Stalin. JEH to me in the history of the US is like the fish asking What is Water? So omnipresent, but overlooked. I even just thought if someone should ask the politician Jeh Johnson if he is named after J. Edgar Hoover. Also, JEH had a nephew with the last name of Robinette, the middle name of our president. Are they related? Unusual names. I've never seen anyone ask. I think this is also kind of the level of speculation a la WW. You can quickly get to the question, So What? Again, Merry Christmas!
I think the idea of digging into regenerative farming, reporting on it as you go, and then ultimately producing a synthesis of what you learn is a very good idea. I read a lot of permaculture books as well as more organic stuff like Harvey Ussery's chicken book and Simon Fairlie's meat book. And people like Pollan and Salatin. I'd be interested in seeing what you find useful and how you see that transition, coming from (I assume) a more traditional style of contemporary farming.
