Restoring structure and function of soil
Walter Jehne is an internationally known Australian soil microbiologist and climate scientist. His work centers around practical strategies including restoring the structure and function of “the soil sponge” in order to reverse desertification, increase nutritional integrity of crops, and provide resilience to drought, flooding, heat waves, and wildfires. This event also included the Net Zero Land Team as they shed light on soil and vegetation carbon credits (ACCU’s) and how carbon is relevant to your farm business.
Landholders Nick Blomfield and Lindy Ryan gave some ground-level insights about their current experiences with carbon projects. This event was a collaborative effort between Gloucester Pastoralist Group, Midcoast Landcare, Local Land Services and other local producers.

How to condition score your goat herd
Переглядів 472 години тому
Condition scoring is the assessment of fat and muscle in the space around the loin and short ribs of an animal and is a valuable tool for improving your farm’s efficiency. There's a sweet spot in a goat’s condition score - an animal that's too lean or too fat is less likely to rear as many kids as one in ideal condition.

Is it susceptible to ergot?
But the cattle do so much better on silage , the wrap is bloody expensive,
Anything with a government logo on it deserves to be ignored. The govt has itself to blame.
start again. awful
10kg white corn/maize hammer milled in flour base . 90kg lucerne . Easy for gut to digest Cattle beef 15kg each. What i am running on 200 head beef cross. Averaging 1 kilo a day in weight gain. No problems with gut yet....
🤮🤮
Outstanding.
Hi, I’m in NZ, what type of cattle are those?

I'm here because I spotted a square tailed kite circling low above my house yesterday and wanted to learn more about local birds of prey. I'm in red range if it's relevant to anybody.

Also, why is a silage bale in this presentation $90 and the dry Haybale $80? Here in the state of Washington USA, silage bales are $65 on average and Haybale‘s are pushing $100 per bale there is a lot more labor and costs involved in making dry hay here than there is silage.
What I am going to comment has already been commented by others but I have to mention it again: the fact that digestibility was not talked about really turned me off. I know the guy speaking is a professional and probably knows about digestibility but not mentioning it in this video will make people who are not aware of that conclude that hay is always better than silo just by taking dry matter and price into account.
Whoever is in control of the audio engineering needs to revisit this video. It's such an important film..but 100 you CANNOT HEAR the vocals clearly at all. It is a shame, because us Kooma mob wanna hear what Geoff has to say.
Wow. That was amazing. Thank you. So helpful and practical. I am struggling with bluegreen algae in a major dam. I see it is probably impossible for me to get rid of now without fencing.
I have a chick with suspected Marek's but I just don't know. It's the only one in the clutch that is exhibiting sysmptoms. I separated it from the other chicks. It was having problems with coordination in the legs but was gasping when it breaths. It's been 4 days now since I 'quarantined' the chick and it's getting worse in it's control of it's legs but better with the breathing though still gulping air from time to time. It's legs are the problem but they aren't going one front, one back or even splayed lick doing the splits. They are both going straight back and it looks like it's trying to swim. It eats well and drinks but seems to be losing feathers. Any ideas?
Can’t believe the nutritional aspects were not even touched upon.
Such beautiful birds. So personable, so gentle with people too. The girls are very shy.
Underrated video. Good stuff.
Get out of this floodzone or at least rebuild your home on higher ground.
Well done uncle orcherlove ya nephew bronco
Just like all the roos out west in the last drought.
very educative and helpful
Can I learn more
PNF is the back-door option to clear threatened species habitat for housing. The legislation stops regulators even knowing who has what approval for which areas. Builders buy overseas timbers generally as the local management is so unsustainable. You list all the things PNF kills off? Bushffoods, carbon? You cut smaller and smaller trees and the community are taxed to repair the damage. This show is another waste of tax payer's money being inaccurate and deliberately misleading. Come to my local area, Coffs and see for yourself. Sending the koala, sorry tree rats according to the people in charge of this legislation, extinct when it's the easiest best job creator possible is economic mismanagement. This propaganda is shameless and doesn't reflect reality.
Thanks!
🙏💚🙏
I bought 5 chickens (age was around 3-4 months). After 3 weeks the first one showed signs of marek. I had to put it down after a week. 4 weeks later the second bird showed signs and it had to be put down as well. The seller said that he had vaccinated ALL his chickens against mareks disease. The other 3 chickens plus the two chickens I got for compensation (same seller) show no signs of the disease. Now the question... this was 3 Months ago. I cleaned the coop, but not with chemicals and the chickens remain as well. Are these chickens infected as well? How likely is it that a vaccinated chicken can still get the disease and how likely is it that it can transmit it to other chickens? I wanted to get a couple of new chickens, but these ones are not vaccinated against mareks disease. They are 6 months old. I thought that typically mareks disease shows symptoms between 6 weeks and 6 months... how likely is it that unvaccinated chickens older than 6 months get mareks disease? After watching this video it is pretty likely i guess... It is not 100% certain that the chickens died to mareks, but it is highly likely. Even the vet said that it looked like that, but no report was filed. Now I regret it not testing them... honestly... it seems that this one seller screwed me over pretty badly... My take on this is, that I can only buy chickens that are vaccinated against mareks. Unvaccinated chickens will catch it and die to it even if they are older than 6 months. Im just not sure and would be thankful to any help here :)
From what I have read, the merek vaccine does not keep the chicken from getting the disease. The disease/virus is IN the vaccine.(just like with all vaccines). They are giving the disease/virus to your chick hoping the chick will build antibodies against it. Seems like that is alot to expect from a tiny newly hatched chick. The chick can still catch the disease/virus but ‘hopefully’ can fight it off. But from What I see they rarely do. Also by giving the chicks the vaccine you are bringing mereks onto your property, forever. I have never vaccinated my chickens in the past and never lost any to any of these diseases/virus .My daughter has had chickens for the past few years, no vaccinated and has not lost a single one to this. So Im rethinking about vaccinating my chicks since they can catch it anyway and will bring it with them… 🤔
Digitaria divaricatissima, you got the spelling wrong
this was really helpful thankyou so much
Thank you! Finally, Australian government is starting to see that the old ways are the only way to protect our wonderful country. I have 400 acres and we have started to incorporate cool burns. A long way to go but I hope to bring my small piece back to where it should be.
WHATS the difference between tha and Kangaroo gress they look the same
well pretty obvious, this one grows up to 2m tall
Ver nicely done. Many thanks for all that information from here in the USA.
Love your work James, and the LLS team. These videos are invaluable, at least for managing my own small hereford herd. I am an amateur, I'll admit, but I'm learning so much. Please keep it up!
Love the passion his woman eminates ( and knowledge ) . Interesting stuff
In Queensland we often see this one on alluvium near stream banks and also on basaltic red soils. It rarely makes large stands but another lovely grass to add to the diversity.
There are many reasons these diverse, native species rich, pasture ecologies might be tough and persistent, which in my view they certainly are, but one is that they contain species that time differently, to earlier and later flowering. It doesn't matter when the rain falls in any one year, there is always a suit of species that respond.
Your videos are great Judi, I'm pleasantly surprised to see such information produced. We are developing these species in Queensland for rehabilitation work and others like E.sororia although it is an act of passion besides an act of commerce. We have access to a private 3-400 weed free acres inside a larger property which are mostly dominated by such Eragrostis species. E. sororia is another good one. They thrive and have been consistent under moderate grazing pressure for many years on soils derived from granite and sandstone.
Double thanks
You're welcome. We hope you found it helpful.
very well done! After early rain Ive seen it bailed up here a few hundred kms further north
Could outlet be a creek
❤love this😊
Can't believe more people aren't listening to resources like this.
An outstanding presentation. I would just add that since this presentation was done, Dr Christine Jones has stated that recent research has shown that in terms of cover crop mix diversity that having plants from a mixture of at least 4 functional groups is more important than just having lots of different species from less than 4 groups. Grasses, legumes and brassicas were already mentioned by some of the panel in this presentation but to add a 4th group you could consider Linseed/flax as a cheap option as well as the perennial herbs such as chicory and plantain. In summer you have other options such as sunflower/safflower and buckwheat which are additional groups.
