I have been fortunate as I entered farming after being involved in the family's small holding and have farmed up to 500 milking cows on large farms with the same appreciation and devotion to animals and the land as I had then. In my talk I explain how a tragic calamity put me back on the path of farming with nature and the soil by using the knowledge the soil imparts to show us how to manage it through observations and analysis.
I have recently been involved in Barbers Cheese carbon footprinting farms as well helping my own clients achieve a better farming method while reducing costs. I talk about the soil, composts and soil husbandry so applicable to gardening clubs also.
