“Investigate zero-till disc seeding systems in high rainfall growing zones and its impact on soil biology and nutrient cycling.”
I was awarded a 2010 Nuffield Scholarship which is sponsored by the Grains Research and Development Corporation.
My wife Nikki Hannaford and I farm 600ha in the Gilbert Valley, in South Australia’s lower-north region. We produce cereals, legumes and oilseeds using no-till methods and have recently destocked the property of sheep entirely to advance to a zero-till system. We also have established a 2300 head commercial rabbit enterprise, with
potential to expand.
We plan to visit Chile, Argentina and Brazil in South America as well as Canada, USA and Mexico. We will also travel to the United Kingdom to study zero-till farming and to investigate rabbit production techniques in Spain and France.
