Short clip from John Kempf's "Regenerative Farmer Films - We Eat What We Grow (Clip 2)" (Mar 31, 2025). Multiple speakers describe field and greenhouse observations: grasshoppers were present but did not chew plants in one field (so no spraying needed), whereas a neighbouring field suffered grasshopper damage and was sprayed; greenhouse vegetable crops showed no aphid pressure for the first time, and speakers state the plants appear resistant to aphids and are no longer a food source for those insects.

Crops that are healthier, they become less susceptible to.
Insects. And on.
This field right here, the grasshoppers were here. They were sitting on the stalks and.
Stems, but they were not chewing on the plant. They were not doing any damage. But the.
Neighbor'S field across the drive here, across the road, there was grasshopper.
Damage, and the neighbor had to.
Spray for grasshoppers.
John didn't need to.
Need to spray for grasshoppers here.
And then also up in the greenhouse on the vegetable.
Crops this year, for.
The first time, there's.
No aphid pressure.
So that's, you know, that's very encouraging to see.
The plants are resistant to.
Aphids and.
Are no longer a food source for those insects.
You know, we've put a lot of work into this, and it does bring a lot of pride and joy.
