Everlasting Farm: September 2010
http://everlastingfarm.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
My travels as a Nuffield Scholar in 2010. Thursday, September 16, 2010. The main reason for staying in Rosario. Is to visit Bertini. No till seeders. I've been wanting to go zero. For years but I haven't. Been able to find one that I think will do the job at home. A friend put me onto this place and senior. Showed me around and explained the whole system. One of the biggest innovations. Over the centre of the disc forcing it down while cultivating a seed bed with the front coulter. Rosario and other stuff.

My travels as a Nuffield Scholar in 2010. Tuesday, March 30, 2010. I love coffee. So it was great to see where 35% of the worlds coffee is produced. These guys go for the quality as opposed to the quantity market. So they direct market all the produce. One of their customers is the Queen. We where then treated to some great coffee. Cheers.

Everlasting Farm: June 2010
http://everlastingfarm.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
My travels as a Nuffield Scholar in 2010. Thursday, June 24, 2010. Wedgetail wheat has been grazed once and is ready for the twin lambing ewes to lamb in. Early sown canola is looking good and is due for a selective herbicide and the first nitrogen application. This is the Preston wheat. It was sown on the 2 May onto sub soil moisture. Preston is a new wheat from the CSIRO's high rainfall wheat breeding program, it's not the best looking wheat (pale green) but it seems to yield well. Sunday, June 20, 2010.

My travels as a Nuffield Scholar in 2010. Friday, July 30, 2010. Grazing Canola Update 2. It's coming back well. It's not to dissimilar to the other canola growing on the farm, but still very different to the ungrazed canola in the foreground. Interestingly to ungrazed canola doesn't have many pods due to all the frosts we've been having. Sunday, July 25, 2010. Sunday night and were all exhausted. Saturday building the wall, Sunday seeding everlastings at Koja place in Kojonup. Saturday, July 17, 2010.
