Yes, quite possibly with the cattle.They have a great FB page too
Seems a really concentrated effort 'across the ditch', good to see. Quite surprised at their findings on sheep as part of the operation... I suppose it's the very low covers?
Farmer Roy, can you get access to cattle on the 100 day plan they mention? Could be a cheap way to give your other block a "kick-start"?

That's the thing most farmers need to grasp about regenerative ag, nobody is going to tell you to change.
No government in their right mind will force this (in the foreseeable future) because it admits their own shortcomings across decades.
It has to be led by the farmer, for the farmer, and the future farmers!!
Half the world's topsoil has gone into oceans and waterways in 150 years of "doing it the proper way"... yet it's growing 10mm/year here..
For a government to suddenly do a 180° on what type of Ag to promote, endorse (and sponsor, probably)- is basically an admission of guilt - encouragement of damaging the land resources.
Been some talk of a tax on nitrogen fertilizer over here as its damaging to the enviroment. They were mostly talking water as its easy for them to measure that and show it but soil health too. I dont know how serious the talks were though but it wouldnt suprise me at all if it happened.
A deeply interesting 'idea' which is what I'm aiming to emulate here.
