Empowering Adaptive Graziers in the Burnett Mary

RCS - Keep in Touch (KIT) Day

Experience dynamic, shared learning, on farm, with the Burnett Mary Regional Group (BMRG), at an RCS Keep in Touch (KIT) day on April 23rd.

RCS Keep in Touch (KIT) days offer a unique chance for like-minded individuals to gather, connect, and gain hands-on insights into regional issues while seeing firsthand how RCS principles are applied in similar land types and production systems. This enriching event, hosted by The Ushers at Eastwell Farms, is a fantastic opportunity to discuss topics relevant to the Burnett Mary region and witness the practical application of RCS principles.

Discussion Topics:

• Soil Microbes – Beneficial Management for increased plant health.

• Possible control of Parasites, reliable and effective biocontrol agent (Target Buffalo Fly larvae)

• Non-Chemical Control of undesirable woody plants.

• Animals fit for the environment rather than making them fit the environment. And how to move conventional thinking to see the merits of this.

Don't miss out on this chance to connect, learn, and share experiences.
