alternatives in land use

Just another angle of how corrupt the modern world has become. No need to buy this and that for success. Nature knows how to take care of itself. The farmers just keep it organized. Mankind doesn't have to take absolute control of everything, which just makes mankind a slave to their own designs.
 
Local guy got the Farmer of the year Award.



Michael has built a reputation around his future-focused approach to farming and his management of 4000 sheep, production of sustainable superfine Merino wool, mixed Angus cattle herd, timber mill and farm stay accommodation makes him an incredibly diversified primary producer.


Through tree planting and rotational grazing, Michael has increased stocking capacity, lambing percentages, reduced degradation, and sequestered carbon for the future.
 
We had one of the worst droughts ever when this was filmed, it broke a couple of years ago. Now too much rain in a lot of places, floods all the way to Tasmania. Nice here now though and too high for floods.

Kentucky was cleared of lots of trees, some for sheep and a lot for ex servicemen after WW2 for fruit orchard blocks. That didn't work so mainly sheep and cattle now.

Used to be mainly Stringy Bark forest here before a lot were cleared, and a lot lost in the tree dieback in the late 70's. Dieback research project - https://www.une.edu.au/connect/news/2021/03/searching-for-answers-to-millions-of-tree-deaths

Worth watching if you have 12 minutes, they've planted about 230,000 trees.

 
"This is the 3rd drought I've been through . Having the trees is just amazing for your mental health"
