8 min - Wednesday Tec Talk: Farm BiosecurityIt’s a bit of a hot topic at the moment with Foot and Mouth, Lumpy Skin Disease and Varroa mite getting around the Asia Pacific so I thought I’d dive into it. Farm Biosecurity is everyone’s responsibility whether you’re trying to stop pests and diseases entering the country or stop the movement of weeds as disease around your farm. We can only influence what we control so it’s important to make sure your farm biosecurity plan is up to date. If you don’t have a farm biosecurity plan go to farmbiosecurity.com.au for a free resource kit.

16 min - Wednesday Tec Talk: Free Living Nitrogen Fixation
Free Living Nitrogen Fixation (FLNF) is where organisms in the soil fix nitrogen from the atmosphere and make it plant available in the soil. Unlike rhizobia found in legumes these organisms aren't fixed to a plant and live freely in the soil with some producing more nitrogen than their legume equivalents. But unlike the rhizobia in legumes FLNF is mostly unknown but potentially has a large role to play in the farming system going forward as agriculture looks to reduce its carbon emissions and find more sustainable and regenerative methods for maintaining nitrogen in the farming system. Listen to todays Podcast to find out more about Free Living Nitrogen Fixation, how it can benefit you and how you can encourage it in your paddocks.
