This workshop will be delivered by David Hardwick, an agroecologist with Soil Land Food. David’s unique presentation style guarantees you will learn a lot and have fun. David has worked with farmers all over Australia in grazing, cropping, sugar, cotton and dairy. This workshop is for farmers in New England interested in harnessing the benefits of soil organisms for increased productivity and sustainability.
Soil organisms are very important for agricultural productivity and the health of natural environments. They influence how much water enters and stays in your soil, nutrient cycling, drought resistance and pasture growth. This half-day workshop will give you a first-hand, up-close look at the organisms in your soil and the management practices that can improve the benefits you get from them. Includes free barbecue lunch. RSVP to Armidale Tree Group on 6771 1620. Event page on Facebook here.
