When this news was released recently it created controversy around the world.
However many years ago Dr Arden Anderson in the DVD “Producing Food As If It Mattered”
reported that GM grown foods were indeed creating a rise in allergies
and other health problems.
What do you think?

Native Perennial Pastures and Strategic Grazing in Holbrook

Leave a reply

We just posted the Weekly Time News of Anna & Michael Coughlan on how they able to manage 1000′s of hectares and keep their grazing costs to a minimum due to knowing how to manage their cattle and realising the value of native pastures. Here’s Anna with Graeme Hand, CEO Stipa Native Grasses Association at the 7th Stipa conference held in November.

Stipa Conference attendees took time out to visit the Coughlan’s farm as it is a stand out example of good farming.

Anna says that it’s all because of native perennial pastures and strategic grazing that they are now farm stress-free.
When they realised the lack of control and uncertain future that they had when cropping they stopped and turned to cattle.
They learnt that the more paddocks they had allowed longer rest periods and so the more bomb-proof the enterprise becomes.

This clip is just a tiny slice from 3 days of brilliant presenters.

Hugo discussing Compost Farming with Tony Evans

Here’s Hugo Disler of Farming Secrets on site with Tony Evans asking Tony more about the way Camperdown Compost works and of the results that they are seeing.
Tony told Hugo that he has observed one dairy paddock that had used compost for three years and had 87 percent mycorrhizal fungi colonisation on the roots of the pasture. Whereas the one next door, without compost use, had only 9 percent mycorrhizal fungi. This is phenomenal!
He says that replacing fertiliser with compost is generally gradual, with many farmers still choosing to use liquid nitrogen as well as the compost, to give pastures a boost.
