TNN Australia understand growers know healthy soils make money – better crops, healthier animals, healthier people, less costs, and less water used all benefit the bottom line.
"The only thing that scientists agree on is that by raising your organic matter in the soil, your farming practice becomes more profitable," TNN Australia's Bill Munton said.
"It’s all about the soil having the right ingredients and live biology and aeration, and of course moisture, something that a lot of us are suffering a lack of.
"By increasing your organic matter you increase the soil, water and nutrient holding capacity,
"In some soils a one per cent increase in carbon matter can give an extra water holding capacity of 144,000 litres per hectare.
"TNN Australia clients tell me that they are often the last in the area to go into drought and when the rain comes, the first to recover.
"TNN Australia, together with Moses and Son, invite interested people to the Soil Health Expo to be held at Ariah Park Showground on February 27.
"Soil health has been passed over in favour of chemical manipulation of the soil in an attempt to fix the symptom while overlooking the cause of the problem in the first place.
"Join us on this learning curve that can bring lower input costs, lower financial risk, improve your soil, improve plant, stock and human health, and our environment."
