Improving soil health and function

In this DairyPod episode, Dairy Australia’s Cath Lescun sits down with Professor Helen Suter and dairy farmer Simon Scott to discuss how dairy farmers can potentially improve soil health through the use of multispecies pastures.
Hear more about a new University of Melbourne study that examined that examined the forage production of multispecies pastures and the impact on soil properties. The panel discuss the results of this project, and some of the applications it can have for dairy farmers interested in implementing biodiversity in their farming.
Listeners can hear more about this project and other research - along with the practical experiences that farmers have had in adopting practices to improve soil health and function - at Dairy Australia’s Grounds for Growth event from 4-6 March in Warrnambool, Victoria.
