There is a myth that if you move towards management practices that regenerate the land, you will affect your business profitability.

So many farmers and producers take great personal pride in the natural assets on their farms. They observe how, under their management, these natural values are improving, maturing and becoming more valuable – greater diversity of plants and animals, clearer water in creeks and dams, healthier soils with increasing levels of organic matter, carbon and soil animal life.

Discover what you should ask your soil carbon farming aggregator before signing up for a Soil Carbon project.

The first lot of evidence is in!! Cattle in a cell grazing system, following the RCS grazing principles, are sequestering between 100 and 300 kg of CO2e for every kg of live weight produced.

Carbon is a strange new world with lots to understand. We are excited to share with you the second in a series of Soil Carbon related articles to provide you with the latest information.

Any RCS graduate will know the importance of grazing principle #2: Plants need adequate rest. Without being given a chance to recover after grazing, our desirable grasses will lose root vigour, respond slower, and, across time, be replaced by less desirable plants. However, where else should we be considering incorporating rest into our businesses?
We will probe into labour efficiency by analysing the Gross Product per Full Time Equivalent (GP $/FTE) from our FarmEye platform, which now provides rolling analytics. I’ve found GP $/FTE to be the more useful indication of labour efficiency (compared to, say, animal units per FTE), as it draws attention to the value being generated from each labour unit.
Move over John Wayne … RCS has its own cowboy hero — a man who needs no introduction to many of you: Raymond Stacey.
We will probe into the ever-powerful cost of production (COP) metric from our FarmEye platform, which now provides rolling analytics. COP is possibly the best number you can look at to assess how resilient your business might be to the next cyclical downturn in markets, seasons or production. Another factor that makes it so useful is that market price changes don’t impact the calculation.
Project Pathfinder is working with 10 leading sugarcane growers in the Great Barrier Reef Catchment to adopt regenerative farming practices that enhance soil health, improve profitability and reduce nitrogen runoff to the Reef.
