The acclaimed author of 'Call of the Reed Warbler,' Dr Charles Massy OAM hosts us this week for a tour of his Monaro grazing property. A highly respected sheep breeder, grazing innovator, avid Ornithologist and respected academic, Charles brings a lifetime of experience and passion to his farm. He spends time going over the fundamental elements of his operation and tells us about some of his mistakes, his victories and plans for the future. In a future episode we will discuss smaller landholders and what they can do to regenerate their farms.

As a young farmer in the Falkland Islands I couldn't be more grateful for Charles's book. It opened my eyes to all the possibilities of regenerative agriculture, one of them, the benefits to mental health. I really enjoy watching videos with him in because he is so humble but has done incredible work.

City person here. I LOVE everything about regenerative farming. Thank you for interviewing Charles Massey - his book Cry of the Reed Warbler is so good. My question is why wouldn’t all farmers be working in this way. I love that he’s preparing for a heated climate.

Lots of reasons. Let me explain just one.... You're 42 years old, three kids in school, You've just taken an overdraft to buy $250,000 worth of seed, fuel and machinery for the coming season, on top of your 3m mortgage..... You know if you spray on time, there will be no weeds, no insects and you are more likely to pay the bank back..... Plus your agronomist has a plan that your bank asked for before lending the money.... It's tough, yet despiote this, you would be surprised how many farmers are breaking out of the system! Brave, intelligent, decent people are our farmers..... The true heroes of ther story.

Awesome work Charles. We all live only thanks to farmers, and I am so relieved to see how you are caring for and reestablishing this country for future generations. I hope the few like you are leading the rest of your colleagues and in quick time they will be able to follow. Work like this gives me optimism, and I wish you many years of ongoing success. A recent trip to WA wheatbelt where I had a chat about the amazing canola crop. The farmer told me it was basically hydroponics as the soil was so poor, such a shock! And then to see videos of the wonderful couple doing impressive regeneration in the same area. How can we spread this wealth of knowledge and effect change in practice in time to offset the impending doom of climate catastrophe . I am just a townie, but applying principles of regenerative ag in my backyard. I think you should be in charge of the country, I would vote for you. Get real, get rid of all the bullshit, and get on with it! Thankyou Tim for bringing us this doco.

Great topic! Questions: Is there any use of machinery or slashers ect to reduce fuel in paddocks or are they just grazed? As mentioned it took a long time the get your head around this way of farming, have many neighbouring properties changed their methods seeing your exceptional outcomes?

@FarmLearningTim
@FarmLearningTim Жыл бұрын
Use caution with oaks and livestock. A belly full of acorns can kill. Having said that, I’ve never lost a sheep to oaks and I had two in a couple of paddocks. My advice would be to not get too many. As for specific species I don’t know anyone with that kind of knowledge.

Is it possible to find out what Charles thinks is an ideal paddock size ?
@FarmLearningTim
@FarmLearningTim 2 ай бұрын
That all depends on a huge number of factors such as the stock you are running, feeding strategy, management style, where your paddock is. Generally, the more fertile soil and nutrients and the more frequent your rotation the smaller you can go. There is no set ideal size as there are lots of variables, of which I have only referenced a few.

Good interview .. . There is much to learn and every climate and landscape lends itself to different plants and animals. A central theme running thru them all is biodiversity and water retention. How to achieve that and become profitable is the challenge.
