👉 The value of community and collaboration: The conference highlighted the importance of working together and building strong communities to support sustainable practices.
👉 The power of data and monitoring: The use of data and monitoring to inform management decisions and track progress was emphasised.
👉The need for adaptability and change: Attendees recognised the importance of being flexible and willing to adapt to changing conditions.
👉 The role of education and knowledge sharing: The conference emphasised the value of sharing knowledge and experiences to foster learning and innovation.

Overall, the Regenerating Rangelands Conference 2024 provided a valuable platform for discussing the challenges and opportunities facing rangeland management and exploring solutions for a more sustainable future. Looking forward to the next one! 🥳

What a fantastic KIT Day in Walcha, NSW on Friday! Despite the chilly temperatures, we had a great turnout of around 50 and learned a ton about soil health, carbon farming, and the importance of understanding your property's financials.

Thanks so much Nick Blomfield for hosting the day and CarbonLink's Zoe Maskell and Craig Stieler for their attendance and education and of course our own Matt Barton and Katlin Tilly (Coach and Advisor)

Key takeaways:

👉 Microbes are your friends: Support them and they'll support your plants.
👉 Know your grass: Understand its growth phases and manage for what you want.
👉 Look to the animals: Their poo can tell you a lot about what your grass is doing.
👉 Don't forget about the economics: Design your business for profit in all years.

Quotes of the day:

📯 "Photosynthesis is the only technology we have right now to support rapid, large scale carbon draw down – let's use it." - Matt Barton
📯 "I used to run cattle to grow beef, now I run cattle to grow carbon." - Nick Blomfield

Thanks to everyone who attended!

Our next KIT day is in coming up in Moura QLD, Tue, 15/10/2024, 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM AEST. It's FREE, book 👉 https://events.rcsaustralia.com.au/en/5g5Ua2H7/g/SJKCmeaf65/keep-in-touch-day-moura-qld-5a1pOn1J0oX/overview

Another cracking good Farming & GrazingforProfit course wraps up this time in the stunning Adelaide Hills 🥰. Thanks Nick Kentish for running another great event. Some lovely photos here from the farm field trip as part of the 7-day course.

This is Alastair's farm. There are around 10,000 hens 🐔 in total, along with sheep and cattle. Naturally there was an 'egg' based smoko that from all reports was 'sensational' 😋

📣Special shout out to course participant Katy McMahon (pictured with her amazing grass phase illustration). Such a great visual example of the magic that goes on below our feet!

Our next 7-day course is coming up. GrazingforProfit rocks Townsville, QLD in November. Last year it was sold out, so be sure to get in before the early bird pricing ends in the next few weeks.
