Three Day Biological Agriculture Workshop<br />
Key strategies to understand and implement biological farming<br />
Presented by<br />
Graeme Sait & Steve Capeness<br />
This course will provide an overview of Biological Farming including mineral,<br />
microbe, plant and pest management, and includes a multitude of tips and<br />
strategies to enhance both profitability and sustainability in your crop grazing<br />
situation. A biological approach to farming brings numerous benefits,<br />
examples include; improved crop health, lower pest and disease pressure,<br />
reduced dependence on chemicals, humus building, building soil biology<br />
inexpensively through microbe brewing, crop and pasture monitoring<br />
through correct use of monitoring tools plus many more.<br />

Graeme Sait<br />
<strong>Nutri</strong>-<strong>Tech</strong> CEO, Graeme Sait, is an Australian leader in biological farming and high production<br />
fertility. He is the author of over 200 published articles and an internationally acclaimed book<br />
entitled “<strong>Nutri</strong>tion Rules!”. <strong>Nutri</strong>-<strong>Tech</strong> <strong>Solutions</strong> (NTS) are widely regarded as world leaders in<br />
sustainable agriculture. The company has developed over 300 products related to soil health,<br />
animal health and human health which are now exported to 40 countries. Graeme’s exciting,<br />
stimulating presentations always contain a wealth of practical guidelines for those wishing to<br />
improve soil health, productivity and profitability. His human health presentations have<br />
become crowd favourites throughout the world as they offer an opportunity to learn about<br />
the latest research into wellness and longevity.<br />
In this fascinating, Government-sponsored, three day course, you will learn how to profit from<br />
the dual crises set to impact agriculture. Climate change will affect Australian farming in many<br />
ways, not the least of which is the prospect of a carbon tax for green house gas emissions.<br />
There is also a growing recognition that farmers need to be paid carbon credits to encourage<br />
carbon sequestration (humus building) and this must happen as a matter of urgency. These<br />
carbon credits will offset the carbon tax with the potential for a profitable outcome.<br />
This course will teach you how to nurture and encourage the biology that builds soil carbon.<br />
You will learn about mineral balancing, microbe management and more sustainable pest management.<br />
The second issue affecting your farming future is the looming prospect of Peak Oil. In the<br />
history of economics the price of non renewable commodities goes ballistic when it is agreed<br />
that half of the known reserves are gone. How does modern agriculture fare when fertilisers,<br />
fungicides, pesticides, herbicides and diesel are all based on petro-chemicals that are destined<br />
to rise and rise in cost.<br />
This invaluable training will equip you to reduce your reliance upon petro-chemicals. You will<br />
learn how to harvest nitrogen free from the air, stabilise your phosphate to prevent lock-ups<br />
and magnify your fertiliser inputs. You will also discover a host of tools to increase the<br />
efficiency and profitablity of your farming enterprise.<br />
