Soils, Pastures and Holistic Farming

Soils, Pastures and Holistic Farming

We certainly are experiencing a kind Spring – dams are full and pastures are lush and thriving.  Its hard to remember that summer isn’t far away and farm resources will be stretched again.

How do you plan for your farm for dry conditions?  How do you get your stocking rates right year round, maintain a healthy pasture, protect your soils and keep your animals healthy and happy?

8th October we cover soil health, grazing management and visit Tom Abbotsmith-Youl’s property in Glenburn for the Healthy Hectares series for small and new landholders.  Its jam packed with expert advice and information and it’s not too late to come along!

Cath Botta, Soil Scientist will discuss the fundamentals of maintaining healthy soils, Hannah Botta will help you build a grazing plan to suit your property and ensure you have your stocking rates right for you.  Tom Abbotsmith Youl – local holistic farmer managing a diverse farming enterprise, will take us through a walk and talk around his property. 

We hope you might join us!  Please join us from 1 – 5.30pm, Friday  8th October, Glenburn Hall, 3876 Melba Hwy, Glenburn. For further information please visit  www.healthyhectares.org.au/events
