— Jason - USA - "I really enjoyed the documentary. I grew up in the Midwest and it has always hurt me to see such large land areas being used in a way which hurts the earth. I was interested in the doc as a concerned environmentalist, but I appreciate that it seemed to be made for both environmentalists and ranchers"

— Daniel - USA - "Very impressed with it all. Glad to have actual numbers and data . And also very appreciative of the care and compassion displayed by Peter Byck in relating to the farmers. I hope you reach your goal of sharing this work with every farmer. I spend a lot of time trying to spead the word and the quality of this work makes it easier. Many thanks. "

— Stuart - USA - "This series was really great for me to see the potential success of human life on earth. I am a biology major and theater major (then film major). I am not a farmer. I so respect the science, the families, the farms that were part of this film. It gave me hope that from a variety of places- we all have the common goals of healthy families, food, and life! "

— Killian - Ireland - "Very interesting story. The differences in the grazing styles and how they affect the environment and profitability of the operations, was a real eye opener to the possibilities of using cattle for carbon sequestration. I would like to see if similar practices could be used for improving profitability of grain production."

— Benjamin - USA - "Honestly, I was underwhelmed. I loved the short videos you released leading up to the series. I found the farmers in the season-proper were less compelling personalities. Also the reality TV faux-suspense beats weren't welcome. And the graphics really bad. I appreciate the work — the result didn't click for me though."

— Sparo - Canada - "Firstly, I think you and your team did a phenomenal job putting this whole project together. I was already totally committed to AMP grazing since discovering Greg Judy videos on YouTube in January 2023. In March 2023 I visited Greg's operations in Missouri and got my first in person look at the possibilities of AMP grazing. Shortly after I also discovered Allen Williams, Gabe Brown, and many others teaching this method of grazing. I was totally convinced it is the right thing to do. The harder part was the actual implementation on my farm and my lease farm. After an investment in polybraid, geared reels, high tensile electric fence, and the other tools used in this type of management, I started rotating my cattle. I haven't always rotated them daily and I've made some mistakes but after one year I have already seen amazing results across the board. So all that being said I want to thank you and all the pioneers of this whole Regenerative/AMP method of land stewardship. I came to farming after two careers and was extremely frustrated by the results of everything I had been taught about conventional cattle farming but now I'm excited about the changes and improvements I'm already seeing. "

— Kay - USA - "Well done folks! Interesting, engrossing, entertaining, informative ... If it wasn't after 2 am I'd watch the other 3 episodes right now. I'm a thoroughly convinced student of regenerative farming. I'm hoping to find a nearby regenerative farm that I can volunteer to work on to get some practical experience. From a pragmatic point-of-view, I believe that your data will be indicative but not definitive. However, your presentation is very powerful. Making it into a compelling story with interesting characters is a genius-level way of making any findings more believable and persuasive. If you can get a wide viewership for this work, it could glean a whole lot of new regenerative farmers. Congratulations! "

— Rene - Canada - "It's great and I look forward to seeing more. I played the episodes for participants in the Permaculture Technology Jamboree at Wheaton Labs (200+ acres of permaculture wonders, no cattle there at the moment, though) and they were very popular. We have a small farm (40 acres, 18 acres of pasture) near Oregon City and we've been told that you can't graze year round because all the nutrition washes out of the grasses in the winter/rainy season. I don't know what to think about this. "
_______________________________________
— Julia - USA - "I thought the documentary was brilliant! I would love to see one representing vegetable and crop farmers. One sad, sad note: the expense of the series, although nothing to me, likely inhibited many people from viewing this. Now, I completely understand that the producers are interested in recovering money spent that could not be sponsored, however I feel it so very important that as many people see this documentary as possible. The more people that can learn about the truth of our agricultural situations and natural ways we can improve our stewardship the better. Think of the permaculture movement. It too, is still largely operating in the background. Any new sources of information that will assist in helping citizens become more independent and self-sustainable is vitally important, as elites take over more and more freedoms, land, and rights. And in the end, the land itself, then subsequently the people will benefit by incorporating these practices. Thank you for the work you have done and continue to do! "

— Alexandra - USA - "I was sold before I watched, but now after seeing the data results I am more convinced that this kind of meat production is what is needed. Integration of nature's processes into how we arrange our lives, because eating is life, is THE KEY to a world thriving versus a world squeaking by limping into the future. Peter I can't wait for your next production wether it's on AMP, Regenerative Ag, Silvaculture, Permaculture, or Homesteading. All the thumbs up!"

— Jim - USA - "Dear Peter Byck, I have seen your Roots so deep video series and as a concerned citizen of planet earth I wish to give you a feedback. First of all, congratulations, you have created a unique insight into farmers life and their challenges. The movie, almost four hours, is very well done, congratulations. The human stories are heart warming. The scientific content is very well balanced and should not scare away any person. If you allow me to share my view on certain topics, I wish to start off with a very candid statement. Climate change. Sun is visible in the daytime. Water is wet. Fire is hot and burns. This is obvious and I would hope that people would stop using the term climate change because it is meaningless in a serious discussion however not in poetry. Here the facts, the atmosphere of Earth is primarily composed of the following gases: Nitrogen (N2): 78.08% Oxygen (O2): 20.95% Argon (Ar): 0.93% Carbon dioxide (CO2): 0.04% and small amounts of other gases. And some people will talk about human input to change in CO2...... To me this is meaningless and part of the woke agenda for a long time. You degrade yourself when discussing a very serious topic, AMP grazing and farmers life choice and the hope for a better life. The planet is not getting warmer, of course maybe at some places, measuring stations in the cities..... But should the planet get too warm it will automatically cool down again and this we call an ice-age. Planet earth is a self-sustaining system. We the humans should only stop polluting .... mentally and emotionally pollution is much worse than physical pollution. To clean up physical pollution is easy enough but to clean up the mental and emotional dis-functioning of the human psyche is much more difficult. Mother Nature will take care of us. With that out of the way let me explain. We humans pollute and that we have to stop. This is nothing new. But we also have to measure what the benefits are from industrialisation. We have to very careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I am in the camp that the sun is modulating the weather on all planets in this solar system. I am totally pro permaculture, Adaptive Multi-Paddock (AMP) grazing, holistic management, agroforestry etc etc etc. I am a firm believer in nuclear power as a stable delivery source for electricity for our society. I am not pro wind in any circumstance but I can see solar help here and there. Wind-turbines are a disgrace to humanity. But I see oil, coal and gas as a big part of the base-load for the electricity grid for remote areas. We are totally aligned that we have to take care of the mess that civilisation creates. Humans came after nature !!! Humans need to find a symbiotic way of life with nature. Diversity is the key as long as we honour that there are only 2 genders in nature: male and female. Put all that aside, as you have seen and what is known from Permaculture - NPK fertiliser is a total waste of money and destroys the soil fertility. Even those who invented NPK fertiliser knew that the plants need so much more of minerals. I think that we all wish for pristine nature, clean air, pure water and time to enjoy life. Your movie has shown that this is possible. Thank you. You dare to discuss the topic of financial enslavement of conventional farmers living from paycheck to paycheck and the psychological stress. You dare to discuss the corporate choke on the legislators. Civilisations grow and eventually crumble. This is a very important topic to unravel. We are all learning and the science is not settled for the most of us. Human ingenuity is unlimited and we as a species can solve any problem that come our way. Some say that Pythagoras have made this statement: Make sure that there is one idiot less on the planet when you die. He meant one-self. :) IMHO everything in your four videos are perfect as it is - except for the global warming, climate change and green-house-gases related to this woke agenda. With these few statements in your videos you create an unnecessary division in the minds of those who watch. The subject of AMP grazing is so important for the farmers and you ruin your otherwise so perfect message in the videos. You do not know and cannot proof these woke global warming and climate change and CO2 statements from a scientific point of view. But I totally agree with you on all other topics that AMP grazing is the solution for our cattle business. Again I wish to thank you so much for producing this video series and my heartfelt thank you and to all who participated in the videos and all behind the scene. If you wish to have a deeper conversation for better understand my view I am very open for that. On a PS note, let me just give you some names whom I follow on this wast subject of life on planet earth e.g. human civilisation, the sun, the climate, cattle and farming in general. Thank you.

Although I do not live on a farm a has been applying the science and practices highlighted in this documentary on my Residential landscape here in Mesa, AZ and can saw I have seen similar benefits to my land as AMP farmers. This documentary has the potential to cause major change in the world and not just for farm farmers but for anyone interested in being a good Stewart of the land the live on, farm or small urban property."

In my opinion you truly brought awareness not only to the science of regenerative practices but also to the obstacles for some in adopting such protocols. As a public speaker and educator for the local hobbyist grower audience, the carbon cowboys website has long been a reference I share --as will now the Roots So Deep website. I very much look forward to whatever it is you have planned next as well as whatever additional data you may share. All the best!"
