Your Story

Lea and I farm cattle and a few sheep just inland from the Airport in Busselton. We are on 50ac and Lea practices Equine Psychotherapy from home.  I am transitioning to cover crops and perennial species as far as possible. I would like to network with like minded people and attend field days to increase my knowledge base. I use a seaweed foliar application, and would like to add trace elements- copper, zinc, selenium, calcium and am interested in sharing bulk purchases. I am keen to learn from others who are preparing seed with a bio-stimulant. Looking forward to networking.

Challenges I can best help others solve are:

I have been practicing Dick Richardson's Grazing Naturally for the last year.

Key challenges I would like to solve are:

Heritage seed sourcing and seed bio-stimulant application.
