Ag Activist Helps Local Farmers

AGRICULTURAL activist, Rachael Treasure said since attending a drought information day in 2009 she has been on an exciting journey of regenerative agriculture and is excited to share her knowledge at Tocal later this month.

The Tasmanian based author who loves soils, yoga and utes will help local farmers rethink management of their properties to use natural ecosystems to improve soil and mitigate drought impacts.

“I have every confidence the participants of the Regenerative Farming Forum will come away with a new, brighter vision for their future in agriculture,” said Ms Treasure.

“Since attending a drought information day in 2009 in Tasmania and hearing about regenerative agriculture from farmer Colin Seis I’ve been on the most exciting uplifting journey ever since, and I can’t wait to share what I’ve discovered and put into practice so that my life and land sings,” Rachael Treasure said.

Ms Treasure will be joined by Colin Seis a holistic sheep farmer from Gulgong and sheep and cattle producers Tim Wright and David Marsh who will share how they made changes on their farms after a devastating drought.

More than 90 people have enrolled for the program, with spaces still available.

Buses will be available from Scone, Gloucester and Taree.
