In this episode, Neil chats to Bill Twigg from Bears Lagoon in Victoria.

Bill and Gwen Twigg have farmed at Bears Lagoon, 60km north of Bendigo on the Loddon Plains, for over 6o years running 5000 first cross ewes and producing prime lambs. With a lifetime of observation and learning, Bill has developed a “natural farming system” using dry land lucerne to mimic the deep rooted native plant species. He has also planted thousands of trees, created a large wetland and revegetated the Loddon River. He believes that if you look after the land, it looks after you. “Look at nature – nature always has the answers”
