EXPLORING on-farm sustainability practices will be an early focus of the Loddon’s newest Landcare group.
The Boort group was formed at a meeting last week and will be under the umbrella of Loddon Plains Landcare Network.
“There was great enthusiasm to learn and explore what farmers in the Boort district are doing,” said the network’s Andrew Perryman.
“We had a good rollup for the meeting where it was decided to organise a series of visits to member’s properties.
“The visits will be a way of engaging more people in the Boort district and expanding knowledge and understanding.”
Mr Perryman said the Boort initiative was being supported by the Foundation for Rural Regional Renewal and Nutrien.
The first farm tour is planned for later this month.
