FULL SHOW (20 July) Finding alternatives for the better


Listen Later

Welcome to another episode of Sarah’s Country. Sarah is joined again by some great guests to talk about the matters that matter most.

Pastoral farmers have to reduce their synthetic nitrogen fertiliser use to 190kg/ha/year by July 2021. Germinal Seeds general manager Sarah Gard believes white clover has been overlooked by farmers in favour of high ryegrass levels to increase drymatter.

The Government announced $1.87m for the Quorum Sense charitable trust to share knowledge to develop and implement regenerative agriculture systems. Quorum Sense co-founder Duncan Humm will explain the exponential growth in farmers wanting knowledge and the extension programme planned.

A Vision and Action for the wool sector put together by the Government-appointed wool industry group suggests New Zealand is on the cusp of a natural fibre renaissance. Mt Somers Station farmer Kate Acland has been involved in the development of the report and will join us with husband David, Federated Farmers meat and wool chairman to discuss how a wool revival is coming.

Recently formed Roundtable for Sustainable Beef chairman Grant Bunting said the growing importance the world puts on sustainability credentials across the supply chain has changed many a view. Bunting from Anzco, believes fighting against the vegan movement will achieve nothing.
