I am Matt, and with my wife Kristy along with our two young boys Oscar and Walt, moved to our farm in August 2020. It has been used for grazing and cropping over the years, and is surrounded by conventionally managed crop farms. The land is devoid of trees, and the soil is compacted and there is a lot of bare ground from being overgrazed. I have have been on a steep learning curve, in terms of regeneration agriculture, and the time has come for action, with our main focus being on increasing the soil organic content from 1% to 4% over the next 10 years. We intend to do this by using many Regen Ag techniques starting with subsoiling, and planting trees on contour lines throughout the entire property. Then introducing cattle, sheep and chickens, holistically managed in an attempt to encourage bio diversity of perennial grasses, and increase soil biology along with improved water and mineral cycles. Our area receives around 800mm of rainfall per year, and our aim is to hold onto this rainfall in the soil and plants as long as possible, mitigating the effects of drought. In doing this, we wish to produce nutrient dense food for our family first, then locally as we progress. All the while having our two young boys grow up in an environment conducive to positive world climate change, with the hands on knowledge to make positive changes to the environment through land stewardship.
