Thanks Tim, they are just amazing people, and it's wonderful to see that older farmers are protecting the environment. Maybe a few Greenies need to watch the video to understand that painting Aussie farmers as environmental idiots is wrong. Cheers
I took your advice Tim and got myself a cup of tea, sat back and enjoyed learning a little something. My thanks to everyone involved. what a heart warming and educational video.
Absolutely agree, 3am here on lambing watch in West of Ielaand and already trying to figure out how I can pay for the cost of running a succesful lambing dont mind how to get the fencing done that needs to be done. I tend to do my own thing but just heard this week that there has been a major exoxus of farmers out the industey this year. Anyhow, I'll keep doing the best I can and Regards from Paddy Land.❤❤❤
Hi Tim. A bit late to this vid, but I couldn't catch what they said when describing the banksia plantation as a cash crop. Are they harvesting the flowers to sell, or collecting seeds to sell? Out of curiosity, are they pruning, pollarding, coppicing for animal fodder as well? Thanks.
Hey mate. I've done Agroforestry before and intend to pursue it again in the future. Try this older story for the time being ua-cam.com/video/Ck0wbDsYPMI/v-deo.html
@@FarmLearningTim Great! It might be worth reaching out to Geoff Lawton on Permaculture design and plenty of example sites of dryland swales on contour! I think you both would find synergies in what you both do. I'm in the process of implementing them myself, albeit in a more humid sub tropics on the NSW coast.
Really great video. Love it if you can also add a section that’s more in depth, eg. How to build the structure around the dam. What were their 5 steps etc. Fence it, add xyz types of trees/shrubs…., time frame from planting to current size . Keep up the great videos !

Superb video Tim, great to see clever farmers doing things differently and getting great results!

Lovely
One of your most important presentations, Tim
Brilliant management, should be the standard.
Good review about #1 fencing pasture by soil type & #2 fencing out tanks(ponds) and waterways.
Love, Texas

Onya mate. Keep it up.
The Stewart family has contributed a lot to that area. And further afield.
Good story!

Hi Allan. Cut flowers once a week to market. 52 weeks a year due to diversification. Growing market for them. Not sure about the pollarding
@@FarmLearningTim- thanks!
That’s why we support you Tim
Thanks
Keep up the quality presentation
Cheers
Much appreciated
can you do an episode on agroforestry and tree carbon farming in Australia?

Great content. Really informative and positive to see.
Fantastic video. Would love to know more about measuring & banking carbon credits.
Planning to do a lot of tree planting in the next few years
Excellent….very informative 🍷
Brilliant Tim gave me some good ideas
Thanks for sharing a Good story. Drylands might've benefited from a treeline of swales on contour for better pasture hydration.
Watch out for a story about dry land contouring soon.

Wonderfull content. Cheers Tim.
More power to their elbow!
farming for the future
One comment is why do I see bare ground?
Because it's Australia in Summertime after 8 weeks with no rain and we were not deliberately trying to hide things.
