In the last year local Guyra grazier Derek Smith completed further study with Neal Kinsey, Bob Brush and Garry Zimmer in the USA and visited farms that have adopted the Kinsey/Albrecht Soil balancing system with stunning results. Now Derek is offering a two day course to help locals use this methodology on 28-29 October.
Derek also visited many farmers and graziers in Victoria last July at the World Wide Agriculture Conference in Traralgan. Derek notes that the results coming out of the dairy farms in Victoria are spectacular and their practice is keeping them profitable, even with the price restructuring that happened last year.
Recently, Derek has put together a more practical and easy to understand version of the Kinsey/Albrecht soil balancing methodology. He is now offering a two day Soil Balancing Course to show participants how to use the Kinsey/ Albrecht system to balance soil chemistry so that soil physics and soil biology work together to improve all aspects of their soil, pasture and livestock health.
