    Hamish Mackay & John Priestley – Sun, Moon & Planets Influencing Plants & Animals

    Using the Planting Calendar to optimise production is part of a One Day Workshop: An Introduction to BIODYNAMICS: Grazing, Cropping & Horticulture. Astro effects on both farming and human activities have been known for 1000s of years by many different cultures. Understanding and gauging the results through your own observations has led to often simple benefits such as growing straight carrots instead of twisted ones! In fact, there is much to be gained as you’ll discover in this Film as Hannish and John tell you their stories. Everyone is aware that the high and low tides in the sea are the effect of the lunar movement but not everyone is aware of the Astro effects on plants, animals, and us. It costs little to become aware of the Astro effects and what can be gained.

    How to Make Biodynamic Compost

    Biodynamic composting is regarded by many to be the ultimate method of composting. Starting with conventional farm sourced materials plus the addition of biodynamic preps and minerals it usually requires turning once. It is then covered and left to ‘do its own thing’ while heat and the fermentation process along with the worms ‘cleans’ up the materials producing a compost rich in a broad spectrum of microbes and plant available minerals.

    Introduction to Soil Organic Carbon

    Join hundreds of farmers building soil's fertility by increasing Soil Organic Carbon!   Soil Organic Carbon (Or SOC for short), is the BEST way to increase your farm's soil fertility. However, under many conventional methods, the pathways that build SOC are blocked. Worse then this, conventional methods also cause for SOC loss too!   This Introduction to Soil Organic Carbon class will teach you: What is Soil organic carbon, the Chemical, physical and biological benefits of SOC and how it can make your farm more drought resistant.   In the Soil Organic Carbon Masterclass, you'll learn:
    • What is Soil Organic Carbon?
    • The Chemical, Physical and Biological benefits of SOC
    • How SOC can make your farm drought resistant.

    John Feehan – Dung Beetles

    Through the use of the dung beetles, the impact of drought is reduced through: Improved grass root and water penetration. Improved soil structure. Improved habitat and food supply for earthworms. This means an enormous sector of Australian crops and farmland can be saved even in situations of dire straits.

    Regenerative Agriculture Workshop with Andrè Leu

    Regenerative Agriculture is now being used as a term for then many farming systems that use techniques that can increase soil organic carbon. Regeneration is far more than being sustainable. Sustainable is defined as keeping the present system stable without degrading or running it down.

    Restoring the Balance to Soil, Plant, Animal and Man

    Ron and Bev Smith are dairy farmers at “Orana”, Fish Creek in Gippsland, Victoria. For the last 30 years and more they have worked hard to turn a challenging tract of land into a profitable biodynamic dairy farm. While raising 11 children they have applied the rules of nature to farm at first organically and now biodynamically. and humans.

    Stipa 8th Native Grasslands National Conference

    Landscape function and grassland condition are important indicators of the health of a landscape and its capability to retain water and nutrient re-serves and respond vigorously to good growing conditions. Being able to accurately and quickly assess function and condition enables land managers to improve plant and animal performance at low cost and risk and reduces vulnerability to difficult conditions.

    STIPA’s 7th National Native Grasslands Conference

    What was your answer? Why do we ask? Because these are all part of the great topics presented at this year’s Stipa conference. The Stipa presentations were at once stimulating and provocative with the information which in most cases resulted from 1000’s of hours of research, much of it mind-boggling and far too much to retain in the short time provided.
