A pioneering West Australian farmer is combining cattle manure, exotic dung beetles, and biochar to help combat the effects of climate change as well as tackling soil health issues.WA farmer Doug Pow feeds biochar to his cattle, and uses dung beetles to work the resultant manure into the soil
A CSIRO scientist also says there's on-farm evidence that liveweight gain is improved if biochar is fed to Angus-cross cattle Mr Pow said his innovative farming system could help livestock producers become more profitable while helping to address the impact of climate change.
Dung beetles are everywhere in Australia these days, wherever there is cattle you will find them and you will also see birds trying to catch them. Once you know what the little piles of dug up soil look like you notice them whenever the rain softens the ground.

Drought emergency powers 'fantastic example of what a state govt can do' | Sky News AustraliaAgriculture Minister Bridget McKenzie says the drought emergency powers being put into action to help tackle the crisis gripping Australian farmers is a “fantastic example of what a state government can do”.\n\nThe New South Wales government will temporarily stop allocating water for the environment, in favour of getting it to the towns that need it most.\n\nMs McKenzie told Sky News “drought is one thing that we all have to work on”, and by doing so, it is “going to give us the best policy response that our nation needs, because this won’t be the last time that we go through this”. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia What action you moron? Well of course, everything government does is always the best, government never makes mistakes, just ask it. Liberals 7 years in government and our farmers 7 years in drought. That is what Liberals called job well done, rest of Australians called disaster for our farmers and our country. We couldn’t expect anything better from this out of tach with reality government.

More than 370,000 sign e-petition for climate emergency declarationA parliamentary e-petition calling on the government to make a climate emergency declaration has attracted a record number of signatories - three times more than the previous record-holder, which called for the removal of GST on menstrual products. Let's see. 370,000 out of a population of 25,000,000. We'll assume that those that voted are politically motivated. Renders the figure insignificant. Bots at work I see. All of these petitions are crap because anyone can sign from any country & if you have multiple email accounts you can sign a number of times.

I do find it rather amusing there’s a hot air ballon in the background .... surely there’s enough hot air outside parliament that you wouldn’t need the gas flame to use said balloon....
