Environmental Newswww.farmingsecrets.com Hear Mark Nakata of Beyond Organix explain how he keeps the farmer’s budget unchanged as he helps them stop using chemicals.
It is quite simple really as he uses the 10 Penny Principle to divide up the farm’s expenses. He shows as time goes by the allocation changes. Costs of inputs go down and a profit is retained. Listen here to find out more:
If you did you would have been blown away with the work of
Dr Christine Jones from Amazing Carbon.
We realise that many of you may have missed Landline as our PM
took the airwaves to talk about
the proposed Carbon Tax.
What a pity! Because the real carbon talk was on Landline.
If only what Christine had to say was listened to by
those proposing the tax!
Did you know that Australian farmers farming biologically
and increasing carbon in the soil can reverse global warming
caused by carbon dioxide worldwide? You’ll be astounded by how
little is needed to achieve this.
Hear what Christine has to say.
The great part is that she does have the proof to show
what she is saying is fact.

Keep on creating those healthy soils

Farming Secrets recently filmed Tony Evans of Camperdown Compost and the excellent work that he is doing with waste management on dairy farms. You can see and hear more of Tony on this blog.
Also you can see more of his work on the ABC Landline website which featured his work this week along with Gary Zimmer and others.
The report starts with Anne Kruger, Presenter who says: You’ve probably heard of the term biological farming. But what exactly does it mean? Those who practise it say it’s a way of farming that combines scientific methods with common sense.
In essence, it’s all about the soil, the so-called building blocks of life. Biological farming aims to encourage the beneficial microorganisms in the soil. And those who’ve embarked on it say it’s transforming their farms and their lives.
