ABOUT JUDI: Judi gained a PhD in pasture ecology when she conducted the first studies describing the benefits to pasture composition from planned grazing. She has extensive experience in how grasslands and pastures respond to grazing and fertility management and is a widely respected speaker on these matters. Judi's engaging presentation style, wealth of farming experience, and real-life examples will empower participants with invaluable strategies for enriching pasture composition and land health.

After advising and training hundreds of graziers and land managers, Judi decided it was time to put the principles into practice. The purchase of ‘Glen Orton’ - 'the GO' – (pictured above) near Coolatai, NSW in 2011 provided the perfect opportunity to showcase the capacity.
