Fencing land types case study
Fencing land types - If you fence it, they will eat it
Making cattle eat the right grass in the right place is a lot like forcing a child to eat their vegetables - it’s difficult. When cattle find a more desirable grass species in a level, shady spot, they stick around.

Personalised property visits for tailored grazing solutions
Personalised property visits for tailored grazing solutions
When Sue and David Walmsley purchased Walm-ley in 2009, the 214 hectare Droughtmaster cattle stud was in poor condition. The soil was compacted and eroding, and its pastures were degraded. Walm-ley is just 6 km south of Injune and bordered by Injune Creek. It was clear its land condition had to improve so the Walmsleys grazing business would be sustainable, and their valuable soil would not be washed away and onto the Great Barrier Reef.

Carbon Farming for central Queensland Landholders
Carbon farming is any agricultural practice that increases or preserves carbon in soil and vegetation. Scientists have observed that since the industrial revolution there is more carbon in the atmosphere. There are many benefits to be gained through carbon farming including increased productivity, income diversification, profitability and a healthier planet. By working with FBA, landholders have an opportunity to implement practices that increase and preserve carbon in plants and soils. The investment in carbon credits accrued through carbon farming is emerging as a priority for key industries such as transport, mining and aviation. The carbon market is providing a unique opportunity for landholders to improve their land condition as well as gain returns on productive, unproductive or unused land.
