How I can support other members
I can speak from personal experience across a range of small-scale farming enterprises. I'm passionate about AMP (Adaptive Multi-Paddock) grazing systems and the multiple benefits reaped from designing systems to work with nature. I love thinking about cow behaviour and psychology, and using these to implement low-stress cattle management.
