When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

Thanks for the awesome info 👍🏽

There's a little known lady called Dr. Elaine Ingham offering a true online course, Looks interesting

A great list. And so important to see such high industry demand for people with regenerative ag qualifications. Watch this space for another postgraduate offering from Southern Cross University available early next year — to be launched very soon!

A thriving mixed-farming enterprise on the outskirts of Young, NSW, Milgadara is currently home to three generations of the Daly family as well as prime lamb, cattle and a host of soil micro-organisms. After a major health scare following a history of chemical farming, Rhonda and Bill’s mindset shifted and they began to focus on healing both their soils and themselves, producing healthy food and fibre and helping thousands of others in the process.

Milgadara was one of our original 2012 case studies, and we revisited the Daly family last year and provided a case study update. Find out how Milgadara has gone from economic, environmental and social strength to strength through the link in our bio 🌱

🌱Our September Farmer in Focus was Jamie Wright. 🌱

After seeing the emergence of herbicide-resistant weeds, 'Springfield' mixed farmer Jamie Wright, took a long, hard look at his approach to weed control and herbicide use. After a period of research and experimentation, he made a range of management changes including the adoption of chaff carts, application of molasses, and use of cover crops. The results have been significant. The changes have improved soil health, reduced the weed seed bank and reduced overall pest pressure, leading to a halving of fertiliser use and reductions in pesticides.

Find out more about his story through the link in our bio! 🌾🐑

Are you seeing African lovegrass on your property? 😬

African lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula) is one of the major scourges of pastoral agriculture in New South Wales and is a declared noxious weed in most states of Australia. It has negligible nutritional value for grazing animals and can suppress growth of more nutritious pasture species by blocking access to sunlight, soil moisture and nutrients. Is it becoming a problem for you? Learn how to manage African lovegrass in different contexts from two past Soils for Life case studies, link in out bio ☝️

“It can be very isolating being a regenerative farmer because it is a big shift in culture as well as practice,” says farmer Gill Sanbrook, a member of the 8 families group in the Gundagai/Holbrook area.

This is why a community of practice can be so powerful, because groups of people who share a common passion and provide mutual support learn better. Soils for Life’s long-running case study program is now focusing on groups of farmers. We recognise that rebuilding our agricultural soils and landscapes is driven from the ground up, and starts with farmers; particularly with groups of farmers.

This highlights the importance of sharing experiences and ideas and supporting each other to step out of the safety of the known and try out new ideas and approaches. Learn more through the link in our bio 🌱🐄

Have you got your hands on Matthew Evans new book 'Soil' yet? Over the past few weeks, our CEO @drlizclarke hasn't been able to put it down! This month, she had a chat with Matthew, who said: “I get excited about knowing that we can make soil and rebuild soil, that we can reverse [up to a point] loss of soil health and function; we know how to do it!”. Matthew took over an abandoned farm in Tasmania where he started producing food; “I had no preconceived ideas about how to farm, I didn’t have to unlearn any assumptions about how farming should be done, I had no previous generations advising me so i was starting from scratch and asking all the basic questions.” However, now Matthew says; “Our soil is improving every year, and the food that is produced in that soil definitely tastes better,”.
