Soils for Life

Join us on 15 July for a day of on-farm learning and practical skills focused on implementing grazing strategies to build soil and landscape health.

Hosted by the Curtis family - a case study in Soils for Life’s recently launched Grazing for Soil and Landscape Regeneration Practice Guide - this is the second of our national field days with graziers featured in the guide.

The day will cover:
📖Introduction to the Grazing Practice Guide
🐑The Curtis family will talk about their grazing management practices
🌱Grazing educator Dr Judi Earl will share practical grazing management principles, and how to apply them
🌾Practical skills session in the field
🗣️Open discussion, networking, questions and peer-to-peer learning throughout the day

The Curtis family have transformed their farm into a thriving, profitable Dorper stud and sheep enterprise. They sell fat lambs into high-end butchers and hold multiple stud sales a year, from a farm that is seeing ever-increasing biodiversity and soil health. Their approach of grazing regeneratively, reducing their costly inputs, and sowing multispecies fodder crops underpins their success.
