Cows and Keyline: Restoring Desert Grasslands

This 17-minute video, “Cows and Keyline” discusses the use of cattle and the Yeomans Keyline plow as the quickest, cheapest, and safest way to restore desert grasslands.

It also documents a project to repair a gully formed by an old road.

Aerial photography provides graphic comparisons of the result of poisons versus planned grazing and subsoiling using Keyline principles, the Australian method of water management in deserts.
