Climate Resilient Farms E3 – Composting saves farmer over $75,000 #landcare #composting #farming

Craig (Reggie) Davis started composting his dairy farm waste over ten years ago and now produces 2000 tonnes of compost a year. As a result, he has cut his annual $150,000 fertiliser bill by over half and his use of synthetic fertiliser by 70%. Now he’s looking to mixed species pasture to cut down artificial inputs even more.

Reggie feels he appreciates nature more than he used to. The grey shrike thrush regularly visits the Davies family and which they know as the rainbird. Has anyone else come across this term for the bird?
