For many farmers, doing grazing calculations isn’t a favourite activity.

The new free iOS app (eGraze) helps do the important grazing calculations. 

The app isn’t complicated and is easy to use whether you are offline or online, meaning it handles calculations in the paddock or the office.

And wherever you do the calculations it synchronises with both the app and web-based versions.

Building Better Biodiversity on Solar Farms: A Regenerative Guide to Nature-Positive Solar Farming is a practical guide created for developers, landholders, Landcare groups and host communities — especially in the New England Tableland bioregion — that shows how solar farm projects can be designed and managed to enhance biodiversity rather than harm it. It outlines strategies and tools for achieving biodiversity net gain by integrating conservation planning, regenerative land-use practices and thoughtful ecological design without reducing solar energy output. The guide draws on local and global experience, encourages collaboration with Traditional Owners and communities, and provides practical approaches to habitat connectivity, groundcover enhancement, revegetation, wildlife corridors and overall landscape resilience alongside renewable energy production.
