Out in the paddock … errr, feeding pens! A terrific day out discussing crop-livestock systems with Brenton Kroehn at Borung Poll Merino Stud. Who would have imagined so many similarities between Kanni, Cambodia and Laos?!?! @ACIARAustralia @CrawfordFund @DentonLab

Farming opportunity near Bendigo 450mm Ave rainfall. We have all necessary machinery/equipment and 4br house. Potential to purchase 750ac on terms + lease/sharefarm 800ac + following year another neighbouring 1000ac is available. Immediate start. Ideal start for someone?

The Mallee surely has some of the best farmers in the world. Less than 100mm rainfall this season near Lowbank and still some good looking crops around our trials. 💪🌾

An early end to trials near Cleve. Dry conditions but arrowleaf clover and serradella hanging on for dear life if a summer shower comes along and showing promise for next year.

Thanks @tryFLINTpro for the opportunity to undertake a really rewarding consultancy. We made some great progress on developing tools and processes for GHG emissions accounting & soil carbon - real game changers coming up for monitoring, reporting and verification of ag carbon.
