The secret of pasture cropping in regenerative farming

Colin Seis grew up on the family property, called Winona, in the Central Tablelands of NSW. After a horrific fire in 1979 he lost everything, buildings, fencing infrastructure and 3000 sheep. That tragedy started Colin on a journey of rebuilding, with a focus on restoring native pastures, which ultimately led to his development of an innovative practice known as multi-species pasture cropping.
He is a leader in Australia's movement towards holistic and regenerative agricultural practices.
This film was produced as part of @SoilsforLife case studies. You can read about Colins practices here: soilsforlife.org.au/winona-re...
If you would like to move into Regenerative Agriculture the @UniSCU and the Regenerative Agriculture Alliance , provide a degree, led by the country’s leading regenerative agriculture practitioners. Regenerative Agriculture may be studied either as a Graduate Certificate or as a specialisation in the Bachelor of Science.

So positive. Hearing the journey & history of the farm from farmers and how observation and time is nurturing a new way of supporting landscape & ecosystem farming in Australia.

[@buddhababeoz]

So reassuring to hear how you transformed a tragedy into a transformation.

[@Forester-qs5mf]

Colin is truly a national treasure.

[@growloveproject2652]

Yes kind and generous. He wants everyone to be happy and healthy, farming naturally.

I have a property in the district. Shining a head torch at nighttime in the pasture, to reflect in the ground spiders eyes, reveals at least spider per square metre hunting grasshoppers crickets and moths.

[@growloveproject2652]

Yes! Colin has inspired so many people. Check out the @soilsforlife podcast on research with Colin Seis and David Marsh

native americans us what is basically pasture cropping for 1000s of years. Because most new world grasses are highly edible. (which local farmers would realize this) They use to cut the tops of the grasses and spread seeds. They used more fire though. Also following after large grazers for planning and spreading seeds.

[@davideforesti7556]

Amazing! How would you rotate between sheep and rice? Would you plant from seedballs or seedlings? If from seeds, Do you graze again after planting?

[@lionessofariel]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Some valuable tips in there for me. Could you recommend other videos on pasture cropping?

[@growloveproject2652]

Hi @lionessofariel please check out the informaion at Soils For life including our film on Bruce Maynard soilsforlife.org.au/willydah/

Agribusiness is the bane of good pasture and farming management. Agribusiness is one one of the tendrils of corporations, used to destroy spirit of man and weaken the body of mankind.

the annoying background music is ruining this video

I think you are missing the point - it is education, not entertainment.

I'm also listening to the sound of traffic, and listening to the radio while watching this and didn't even notice the music only the man talking. Freudian classification of such a nagging person is as anal retentive personality type?
