Far North Queensland farmers with a track record in soil health improvement are being encouraged to apply to attend a Soil Health Innovation Tour to Tasmania next year.<\/p>\n

Nominated as the next innovation destination by participants at the previous event, the Tasmanian edition will tour major agricultural regions near Burnie and Launceston and visit a diverse range of farm industry.<\/p>\n

This is the third tour run since 2018, and is being presented by natural resource management organisation Terrain NRM in partnership with Wet Tropics Soilcare<\/strong><\/a> and Lower Wet Tropics Soilcare<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Regional Agriculture Landcare Facilitator<\/strong><\/a> for the Wet Tropics Evizel Seymour said it is a great opportunity for farmers to broaden their knowledge about soil health innovation across a range of farming types in another region.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know from running innovation tours previously that they\u2019re a powerful learning opportunity with long-lasting benefits, so we\u2019re excited to be able to offer it again for more local farmers who are adopting sustainable farming practices.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said the schedule is still being finalised but is expecting it to include mixed regenerative farming, regenerative dairy, native berry, native game, and organic horticulture site visits.<\/p>\n

The 5-day tour is supported by Terrain NRM, through funding from the Australian Government\u2019s National Landcare Program.<\/p>\n

To be eligible, applicants must operate a farm business, be actively working to improve soil health on their farm and be able to show a track record of involvement with either of the hosting soil care groups, or Terrain NRM.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1563789122720{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 34px !important;}” el_class=”great_header_right”][mk_padding_divider size=”206″ visibility=”hidden-sm”][mk_padding_divider size=”50″ visibility=”hidden-sm”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1639029588648{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\"Soil[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1639966012403{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\u201cThese eligibility requirements are in place because we want farmers to get the most out of the tour, and that requires a baseline understanding about soil health.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor farmers who are new to soil health, we recommend applying for the next round of Digging Deeper<\/a>, a hands-on introductory program to improve soil condition and long-term farm viability.\u201d<\/p>\n

The contributing organisations will cover the cost of bus travel, guiding, twin-share accommodation and breakfast. Participants will arrange and pay for own flights or other travel to and from Launceston, and lunches and dinners each day.<\/p>\n

Expressions of Interest close at 5pm on Friday 14 January 2022. For more information, phone Evizel Seymour on 0429 091 440.<\/strong><\/p>\n
