EVENT
A resilient system doesn’t start and end in production paddocks, and David Storer’s property is testament to that.
This whole-farm field day pairs on-ground experience with specialised knowledge, offering attendees locally relevant insights into the day-to-day realities and data-driven decisions underpinning a sustainable, productive property.
A walk through David's Veolia compost trial offers the chance to dig into alternative input options in broad-acre farming, hear the finer details on the product itself from Collin Rossbridge (Veolia Recycling & Recovery), and see an approach built on tracking the metrics that actually matter.
You’ll learn about the value of biodiversity in this nature-based system and the practices that prop it up it through tours of mixed species crops, fodder trees, perennial pastures, and native plantings, alongside insights from a local nursery.
Delve into how David is minimising soil disturbance with through low-chemical and zero-till practices, complete with expertise from Stewart McTaggart -Direct Seeding) on the machinery that's facilitating this.
Plus, see a brilliant example of sustainability extending well beyond farming operations with David's off-grid power setups and passive cooling/heating strawbale structures.
Round out the day with a barbeque featuring locally sourced Amarillo regenerative lamb from Chris Wyhoon, a sundowner walk, and the chance to connect with peers.
