Interested in building soil carbon on your farm? Join Loam Bio, SoilQuest and Grant Sims from Down Under Covers to learn how.

Leading farmers Ken, Wendy and Grant Sims as well as Mick Wettenhall will explain their strategies for building soil carbon in their cropping systems. Hear from them as they highlight their cutting edge tips and tricks, explaining what works and what doesn’t on their operations.

This masterclass will include trial walks of cover cropping and grazing management practices. There’ll also be deep-dives on ‘lessons learned’ from active carbon projects and case studies on the effects of Loam’s microbial CarbonBuilder inoculum for canola, barley and wheat.
