Convention or Innovation—A Practical on Farm Trial has been a three year farmer driven sustainable farming project undertaken by the Soil Health Bestwool Bestlamb Group and the North East Ecological Farmers within the North East and Goulburn Broken regions within Victoria.
These trials compared conventional fertiliser applications of super-phosphate with other soil amendments including soil aeration, biological activators and other fertilisers.
Time Control grazing was implemented at all sites. Pasture production, stocking rates, botanical composition, plant sugar levels were all monitored.
Regular soil testing, plant tissue testing and soil biology testing was undertaken.
This event which will be held over one and a half days during 25-26 February 2009, will feature;
- A guided paddock walk around one of the trial sites
- Guest dinner speaker, Futurist Mr. Neil Henson
- Special Presentations by Dr Christine Jones from the Carbon Coalition and Dr Julian Hill from the University of Melbourne Project 3030.
- and informative presentations by the participating farmers in the project.
