Milgadara near Young, NSW, is currently home to three generations of the Daly family as well as prime lamb, cattle and a host of soil micro-organisms. Bill and Rhonda Daly were one of the first Soils For Life case studies in 2013 where they told their story of questioning conventional practices and shifting their focus to soil health. Since then, the Dalys have introduced breeding cattle and multi-species crops to Milgadara and continued their regenerative journey. Curious to find out where they are now? soilsforlife.org.au/milgadara/
Thanks to Soils for Life CEO Liz Clarke for stopping in to see us at Ripple Farm yesterday! Having support from organisations like yours is imperative - so we can keep this grass roots movement in holistic agriculture growing!
Charlie Maslin assumed management of Gunningrah in 1987, and realised while you cannot control rainfall, you can change how you use the rain you receive. The Maslins shifted their focus from animals to the health of the land by maximising rainfall retention and improving groundcover, and therefore delivering more consistent profits and reduced inputs. On a hot day, Charlie observed a difference in soil temperature between bare soil and groundcover- watch to see what Charlie found.
