Multi-species cropping and regenerative farming strategies – NT (Case study)
This case study describes the stock and soil management practices on Lonesome Duck, a grazing and cropping property north-west of Katherine in the Northern Territory. The owners use rotational grazing to improve their native pastures and soil. During the Wet Season, stock are moved onto improved or irrigated paddocks that are seeded with a range of crops such as legumes, grasses, brassicas, cereals and flowering plants. Their management system incorporates regenerative agriculture concepts i.e. promoting biodiversity, eliminating or reducing tillage, reduction in use of artificial fertilisers and regenerative grazing practices [PDF 4 MB, 4 pages].#
