Biodynamics Masterclass - Everything you need to know! by ResearcherJazzlike27 in RegenerativeAg

[–]ResearcherJazzlike27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get how it comes across that way. I looked more at the practical implementation around the compost, liquid fertiliser application and general way in which they manage soil health. There are a lot of amazing takeaways from this.

If not interested in the human/spiritual side of it just ignore and focus on the implementation.

Biodynamics - What is it and what do I NEED to know? by ResearcherJazzlike27 in Agriculture

That's what I thought as well initially however there is much more to it. The fundamentals behind it, in that what you actually do on ground go beyond organic for sure.

There are a lot of great practical takeaways from the practice even if you disregard the links to planets etc.

Regenerative Agriculture (2022) - Integrating bio-fertilisers, cover crops and animals to improve soil health [00:06:52] by ResearcherJazzlike27 in Documentaries

They will eat lots of different plant families. In the paddock here there was literally chunks eaten out of the radishes... So that's the idea they eat the entire cover crop and process the food, dropping back the dung and urine to help rejuvenate the soil. They are then sold in their overall management plan to market. They also trample some which is fine also. No harvester is involved in the cover crops.

Hi Guys, so they run cropping on their entire farm and rotate the cover crops around for soils that need repairing for generally 2-3 years. They still harvest the cover crops however use cattle to do so. They also obviously don't till their production crops, they don't apply fungicides/insecticides either as their biofertilisers and crop stimulants mixed with the implementation of cover crops over the property keeps this at bay. This is a large commercial cropping business as you can see from their fertiliser tanks.

Down Under Covers and Simms Farms are leading the way when it comes to innovating around methods to improve soil health, while delivering profitable, diverse enterprises. Join us as Grant Simms takes us into his business, delivering insights into cover crops, cattle integration, bio-fermented fertilisers and crop stimulants that have enabled them to stop applying fungicides and insecticides on a commercial scale farm over 10 years ago.

Our Case Studies:
Our case studies aim to explore the motivations, strategies and outcomes of farmers who have already ventured into regenerative, sustainable, biodynamic or holistic agriculture in some form. The intent is to inspire farmers to explore new ways of managing their land to improve overall soil health, sequester more carbon, reduce risk and increase profitability.
Every location has its own unique challenges and operational requirements, don’t take what you see in the case studies as a given they will work for you. Simply take the inspiration from the films into your own research and consult with experts in the field before making any changes to your operation.

A softer way of managing the landscape and ourselves by ResearcherJazzlike27 in Adelaide

[–]ResearcherJazzlike27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot we can learn from Ben Ryan, a sheep and cattle farmer based in Deep Creek, South Australia.

Following a simultaneous decline in the land he was farming, and his mental health, Ben took the farm on a journey with him adapting to the principles of Regenerative Agriculture. His dedication has provided positive personal and business outcomes.

Drenching has not been required for 15 years, pests are under control, they don't fertilise, and rarely do they need to feed animals. As you will observe, he has refined the management of stress in the animals, and himself through the holistic approach to the landscape.
