The leaders of a project to rehydrate the landscape of a north Queensland cattle property say the results are proof that profits can flow from keeping more scarce rainfall on-farm. Grazier Chris Le Feuvre, from Worona Station between Townsville and Charters Towers, said his property was a degraded landscape with significant erosion issues before changes were made a decade ago.
Splitting paddocks into small sizes and using large mobs of cattle grazing on rotation, Mr Le Feuvre is grazing pasture more intensively while giving it longer to rest, increasing carrying capacity. Profitability has increased, with the comparatively small Landscape Depot Farmington Mn Review 6,hectare northern operation now providing full-time stable employment for the owner and his son.
Mulloon Institute chairman Gary Nairn said the issue of degraded gullies and streams was a national concern. Using cattle-grazing techniques where stock are moved from small paddocks on a regular basis and engineering works, the property's sediment runoff levels have reduced.
Sam Skeat, grazing officer with NQ Dry Tropics, said remediating gully erosion was a key factor in keeping damaging topsoil out of the Great Barrier Reef area. The plug-and-pond technique � also known as leaky weirs � involves small dam-like structures to lift the bed level of the water, which is then run onto the floodplain to grow pasture and recharge aquifers. While weirs have been strategically constructed, Mr Skeat said grazing management Landscape Artist Australian 01 was the most important tool to improve water retention in a landscape.
With significant Federal Government interest in the building of new dams and water storages , funding is underway for several feasibility and business cases.
However Mr Nairn, a former cabinet minister in the Howard government, said landscape rehydration offered much greater possibilities. Mr Le Feuvre said building up the soil carbon content during the past decade meant more water stored in the soil, a critical factor when rain falls intensely across a short Veteran Australian Landscape Artist John Johansson period in the tropics. Mr Nairn agreed that landholders needed to become much better at using scarce rainfall to gain the maximum value from moisture. Mulloon Consulting general manager Carolyn Hall said money raised though the group's work was used to lobby for more government drought scheme grants.
Under the scheme to increase the number of carbon credits produced in the state, long-term purchasing agreements will be signed with landholders. The Government has promised that decisions to fund projects will be based on co-benefits, including increasing social and economic value to communities.
