Farm walk and Talk - Erosion with Ag Vic

Join us at Acheron on Friday 26th April from 10am-12pm, in the paddock as Agriculture Victoria present on Erosion, Farm Water, Feed for livestock, Soil acidity and how they interact on farm. This will bring learning together for better application to your own property.

For further information email kerstiel@gbcma.vic.gov.au, address provided on registration.

Spiders

On Friday 6th May, at the Yea Butter Factory, 13 Rattray St, Yea, Ron Litjens will be presenting on spiders. 

Spiders are a pretty fascinating bunch, and this is a great chance for those who hate or love spiders to either change a prejudice or learn many interesting facts about the habits and biology of our native spiders and the important role they play in the environment as generalist predators. 

Ron Litjens’ painstaking research is supported by his own exquisite photography and videos

Pilot Soil Monitoring & Incentives Program

The Australian Government is providing $54.4 million over two years to support farmers and land managers to access low-cost soil sampling and certified testing in exchange for sharing their data under the Pilot Soil Monitoring and Incentives Program.

Farmers and land managers may be eligible for benefits of up to $10,000 and receive assistance from Commonwealth-funded soil extension officers to interpret their soil test results.

For more information on the program, including for farmers and land managers wanting to register: https://www.scu.edu.au/pilot-soils-program/ Additional information on the program including eligibility criteria is available in Frequently Asked Questions.

The Goulburn Broken CMA acknowledges and respects First Nations people and the deep connection they have with their land and waters.


We acknowledge the Yorta Yorta and Taungurung people and their ancestors/forbears as Traditional Owners of the land and waters in the Goulburn Broken Catchment (and beyond). We value our ongoing partnerships with Yorta Yorta Nation Aboriginal Corporation and Taungurung Land and Waters Council for the health of Country and its people.


We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge and recognise the primacy of Traditional Owners obligations, rights and responsibilities to use and care for their traditional lands and waters.
