Digital Grazing Trials - From Ground Truthing to the Satellite

Technology meets rotational holistic grazing. 

Over the last year high stock density grazing trials have been monitored with biomass and biological on-ground monitoring, and drone and satellite data. 

The day will cover:

• a welcome to country and overview of Healthy Coutnry Planning
• calibrating on ground data with drone and satellite data
• how to increase grass density and diversity, improve water infiltartion, soil moisture retention, nutrient cycling and soil stability
• how and what to measure to know how management is impacting pasture and soil health
• what is the most profitable, low risk and rapid way to restore soil health with grazing
  
• what is the science behind reading the land
• case studies on highly profitable farmers who are building their soil health and grass inventory
• how to improve water infiltartion, nutrient cycling and soil stability
• how to set up convenient day to day management that is profitable and enjoyable
• designing fencing and water infrastructure
• developing grazing plans to know how much grass you have ahead of you

Morning tea and lunch will be provided.
