The Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority supports on-farm demonstrations...
Ground Covers for Soil Health
Thursday, 3 March 2011 SoilCare farmers enjoyed a Biological Farming Safari to visit farms cooperating in the 'Ground Covers for Soil Health' project.
The Northern Rivers CMA funded farmers to demonstrate the value of ground covers to improve soil structure, increase soil biological activity, promote nutrient cycling, increase water infiltration, control soil erosion, enhance IPM systems and more. Click on the 'details' for each farm to learn about what farmers are doing to improve soil health on their farms.
