When the Trembath family acquired “Lonesome Duck”, a 1000ha grazing and cropping property in the Katherine region of the Northern Territory, they managed the land using conventional farming practices.
It wasn’t until around 25 years later that the property began to transition from conventional to regenerative farming practices.
By his own admission, Jeremy states that in his early years managing the property, his choice to continue doing things as they’d always been done resulted in the soil health declining. It was until he was gifted a book on regenerative agriculture that Jeremy decided to do things differently and have soil health as the central focus of the entire agricultural operation. But, making the decision is one thing – knowing where to start, and actually starting, are a whole different story.
My name is Steph Coombes, and in this episode I sit down with Jeremy to learn about the practice changes he has implemented on Lonesome Duck over the past several years, what’s worked, what hasn’t, and where to next.
