Tomorrow is #worldsoilday, what better reason to talk about #soil

For instance, how to further unlock soil's huge potential for mitigating and adapting to climate change?

This is a great project bringing together the agricultural sector to form communities of practice, developing a platform for sharing knowledge and skills that contribute to a resilient farming community, keep up the fantastic work Fliss. @FelicityHarrop @SoilCRC

Congratulations Dusty, one of our Raywood #regenag farmers Dustin Pascoe was awarded a 2020 Nuffield Scholarship, researching the benefits of grazing crops to fill the winter feed gap in a changing climate. @FelicityHarrop @northcentralcma

City of Whittlesea has partnered with Deakin University on a Regenerative Agriculture for Climate Resilience project. The survey is the first stage of the project and is open to all farmers and agricultural practitioners. https://t.co/Qb6rcVwSiE

[Soils For Life @SoilsforLife]

Super interesting research!

The cropping systems with the highest biodiversity had the most soil carbon.

This was explained by plant roots creating pore structures that favour microbial activity and protection of carbon.

**REMINDER** If you're a farmer around Maffra, Tatura, Serpentine or Birchip you might be able to take part in our On-Farm #IoT Trial but be quick, EOIs close on Friday. Go to https://t.co/iIRIVKjIh6 #VicAgIoT #agchatoz #agtech

Planned grazing is a great job:
1. Improving the soil, which
2. Increases productive capacity &
3. Saves money on feed purchasing
4. Allows close monitoring for animal health & performance
& best of all:
5. Is very satisfying as you get to make herds of cattle happy every day!

[Darren Bain @DarrenBain15]

Finally bought some cattle, the next step is to sow a summer #CoverCrop later in the year

"...having the confidence and impetus to make decisions on grazing management in tough seasons is a powerful mental step forward."
