Podcast Snippet: Farmers Doing it Differently - Animal Wisdom, Shepherding, & Wool with Nan Bray
In this episode we chat to Nan Bray of White Gum Wool, located in the highlands of Tasmania. Nan farms a flock of 600 Saxon Merino on 330ha of high country, and with occasional snow in winter, summers reaching up to 35C, and an average of only 550cm of rainfall, it can be challenging. Nan is no ordinary farmer however, about 15 years ago she decided to move away from conventional farming methods and make some radical changes to the way she does things. Her wool growing production system now relies on three main commitments: excellence in nutrition, a conservation land ethic, and thoughtful animal welfare. These commitments are expressed through cherishing the biodiversity of the landscape...

The application of nutrients, or fertilisers, that plants require is an important component in primary production operations. For numerous reasons, crops or pastures, may not naturally get all the nutrients they need from the soil in order to perform well. The considered application of fertiliser is often necessary to meet the desired outcomes of enterprise programs. The price of fertilisers co...

    I’ve heard that you want the logs to be as rotten as possible, meaning full of microbial life. So I thought this was basically injecting a well established fungal network. So my understanding is that when the roots of the plants connect to the logs, it would establish a connection to the logs so there is a huge mycorrhiza. The fungus would collect and transport water with the plants in the mound making them very drought tolerant and low/no irrigation.

    The Jena biodiversity experiment found best results with at least 4 different plant families in terms of rapidly improving soil health. In addition there are various plants such as buckwheat which have been shown to unlock soil P. The key is to increase the number of microbes capable of making P available by feeding them with the root exudates from plant diversity.

    Tillage on a grand scale began ~150 years ago. That: 1.) Liberated more CO2 from 1850 to 1950 than all the CO2 from Fossil Fuels. It also reduced the RAINWATER HOLDING CAPACITY from ~6" per hour to only 1/2" per hour. That makes croplands up to 8° warmer on hot days.... that's more warming (on a Continental Scale) than CO2 is capable of by itself (which is ~0.7° C). Soil Regeneration....FIXES BOTH the Rainwater Capture (and holding) problem AND the CO2 problem. It also preserves and BUILDS Topsoil.

    If you're coming off of a chemical fertilizer system and want to transition to BEAM, is it optimal to cut chemical fertilizer cold turkey or do you have to wean the lands off of fertilizers slowly over a few years? Not sure if it's possible to contact Dr. Johnson directly or someone familiar with this method to find out how to implement this properly?

    One thing that I would love to see is to compare biomass productivity between a man sown cover crop, and just letting nature do its thing. Because now in France, some farm actually let their soil grow what nature grows during periods where they're not growing anything, and they report they have even more biomass than with multi family cover crops. Because, as we know, soil has millions of native seeds in it, that only wait for the right conditions to germinate. If you soil is compacted, eroded, poor, water logged, only a few species that tolerate these conditions will grow, and the next year, after that issue is fixed by those plants, it'll be more diverse. And so on. Plus since those are native species, they grow faster and give more biomass. And it doesn't cost you a thing. Has Jena done that comparison or are they planning to do it ? It's nothing more than fallow land, but over 6 months. Centuries ago, farmers would till a field to weed it and release nutrients, do one crop, then leave that field as fallow land for 2 to 3 years so it would recover. They KNEW the soil needed to recover.
