- Martin and Darren are a fantastic combination when discussing Multi Species Cash Crops. Darren is a mixed farmer and grazes sheep following his harvests and sometimes he takes advantage of a failing crop to boost his sheep profit.
Regenerative Farming is taking a surge forward into our future, name any problem we face today and when you follow the trail back to grassroots, the answer is Regenerative Farming. Health; both mental and physical, environment on land, rivers and the sea, the atmosphere, the entire food system, education and a circular economy.

An informative field day from the comfort of my lounge chair. Many thanks to all concerned.
Thank you. So pleased you are enjoying these videos. Lots of time, respect, trust and fun from all of us to build this channel.
Thanks for the information on what you are doing. Great stories on the difference that can be made to soil and crops and the farmer and animals. Also healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy food- thanks to all farmers for our healthy food.
We all need a self organising system. Great job fellas
It's a great example thanks for letting us know ✌️👍😀
Turning any place around is a slog but this is doing the trick. Is Darren into all the Science stuff, soil temperatures, infiltration and compaction testing? Be nice to see the progression. Cheers mate, from Coffs.
Mostly field observations.
One of the rules we runn with is "it's never one thing, always a combination.
We don’t really do to much monitoring it’s all about. What gets packed out is the result , not aiming for the big crop . Just the year avg ( better game to play ) not trying to increase yield but changing - moving the class1 to the premium, Patience is the game -in for the long haul. Cheers Darren
@@martinwilliams5226 big combo,
Even the fishing shops make more $$$ on the combo deals..😂😂
@@darrenhill9203 Thanks mate, no pressure, you're in the game, that's all that counts.
So you sow 25% of each crop. Is that by seed weight or estimated seed count/acre?
Thanks.
Watching from Texas
What ever the regular planting rate is divided by the varieties in the mix.
Eg. Regular Wheat rate 20 kg/ Ha in a 4 way mix is 5 kg/ Ha.
Or lbs/ acre if you are in the US
@@martinwilliams5226 Wheat rate per 20 kg/ha it's norm for you ? What a combination of Multi Species if a soybeans inclooding to Cash Crop ? TXH, watching more )))
PLS, help me, - what species here are present
Thank you
Where are the trees,you need trees.

This was the first time on-farm in this country (central NSW) and I was really surprised how many trees were in the landscape. Please remember that Australia is so huge that 200Ha is a fairly small piece of land. Darren does have trees lining majority of his paddocks.
To be growing a 4 way mixed species over 200Ha is a massive step in the regenerative direction.
The next grazing video with Richard Makim will show you how Australia’s tree species bounce back with rotational grazing.
Yes trees are extremely important in our landscape especially for insects, fungi and moisture retention.
We are working towards that. We knocked the trees down to make farmland.
We won't plant it back to original species.
They are a little backward with to regrds to trees here in australia
