Video Description from Youtube:

Join Tim Thompson and Phil Mulvey on a regenerative road trip to meet Tom and Kim, a young couple who transformed a struggling family dairy into a thriving, low-input, high-performance regenerative farm.

Discover how they built a rotary dairy from scratch using salvaged parts, tackled severe herd health issues like laminitis and calf loss, and overhauled their entire fertiliser regime. With the help of Pete Norwood from Full Circle Nutrition, they found the root cause of compaction, nutrient lockup, and animal health decline—hidden in the soil, plants, animals… and even the water.

🔍 Learn how they:

Replaced synthetic inputs with biology-driven solutionsUsed silica and microbes to unlock tied-up minerals

Diagnosed and reversed acidification from bore waterImproved cow mobility, fertility, and overall farm resilience

Turned their worst paddock into a teaching tool for future success

This is one of the most interesting regenerative farming case studies we’ve filmed to date—stick around for the deep dive on soil structure, microbial interactions, and long-term productivity gains.

Soil carbon farming - measurement, modelling and error | Phil Mulvey

September 16, 2022

In Australia and around the world, estimating carbon in soil is difficult and expensive. Measurement is considered too variable and costly and modelling is often found to be difficult to calibrate and has a large variance. Philip Mulvey joins HydroTerra's Richard Campbell to discuss soil carbon farming and the associated current challenges and progress.
