About a year ago, the purchase of two dairy cows led to the discovery of a revolution in our paddocks.
My partner and I, two young farmers, learned we could rehabilitate the natural environment by the way we farm.
But the stakes were high — making the switch from conventional to conservation farming could send us broke.
So we set out to meet a network of regenerative farmers who are working with nature to eliminate the use of chemicals, revegetate their land, reduce carbon emissions and encourage the return of native plant and animal species.
Our property, on the outskirts of Narrabri in north-west New South Wales, is about 130 acres of mostly farmed-up country.
There are very few trees but we have beautiful black soil and a stunning view of the mountain range to our east.
Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party MP Roy Butler has expressed his disappointment in the NSW Government’s budget announcement’s today.
“The Berejiklian Government has celebrated its operating surplus and its record investment in infrastructure across the state and that’s all good - if you forget that western NSW is also part of the state.”
The Barwon electorate is 44% of the state, but hasn’t had a significant school or hospital upgrade funded in this budget.
“All I am seeing in this budget is a continuation of record neglect of western NSW,” Mr Butler said.

Firsthand experience of drought and an understanding of the toll it can take on farming businesses, bank balances and emotional well-being was the catalyst for a series of Dealing with the Dry: Farm management options during and after drought forums being run across northern New South Wales next month. Initiated by Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) Grower Relations Manager Susan McDonnell, the forums aim to deliver practical advice ranging from how to talk about debt with your bank manager, to accessing government services and identifying and supporting mental health issues. A grain grower herself, Mrs McDonnell said the GRDC Dealing with the Dry forums would be run in small communities across NSW and were focused on delivering genuinely helpful information directly to those in need. “Unfortunately, like many people involved in rural industries, I know only too well the impact of drought. It can be extremely demoralising and leave you wondering how you will get through both from a financial and psychological perspective,” she said.

Gloucester's Lyn Stewart had a niggling interest in researching her family history.
Like many Australians, her family tree has a range of convicted criminals, which was partly what first piqued her interest. But it was chasing down that tale of her great great grandmother, Margaret Murphy which inspired her to write a book.
She started researching her relative by first acquiring Margaret's death certificate as it provided details of her date of death, the date and location of her birth, and the names of her parents.
