Episode 4 – A Five Year Transition with Tom Briggs

In this episode, Nakala interviews Tom Briggs who, along with his dad Colin, operates a mixed cropping property near Rutherglen, Victoria. The father and son team have strong regenerative farming values and while being moderate synthetic input users, are now two years into a longer-term plan to remove synthetic fertilisers from their system. Listen to this impressive young man as he tells their story of using a systems approach with minimal tillage disturbance, multispecies cover crops, companion planting, biological inputs and animals to replace synthetic fertilisers.
