Matt and Justine McLeod have been running a trial to tackle two of the biggest issues in farming – water and money.
Experimenting with 96 plots, the trial has monitored the impact of different rates of compost in combination with worm extracts and varying fertiliser applications and different pasture species. The trial has tracked soil health, water efficiency, plant health, nutrient input and removal, yield and profitability. This workshop style field day will explain data, share trial results and invite you to explore which learnings you can take home and implement on your farm.
This event will cover:
- The trial findings
- How attendees can apply the findings on their own farms
- After the trial – what is next for Justine and Matt McLeod
