TRAN$ITION23 PODCAST SERIES – COL BOWEY: Key principals of a soil building system
September 9, 2023Farmers Helping Farmers podcast host Dan Fox catches up with Col Bowey from CB Farming Systems, who was one of the guest speakers at VicNoTill’s 2023 conference, Tran$ition23. Col also led a soil pit discussion and spent the week leading up to the conference visiting NSW farms.
Col says success in farming always comes down to having a good ‘farming system’ in place. In 2008 he founded CB Farming Systems and dedicated himself to learning as much as he could from soil scientists and other farmers. He helps farmers build systems that understand healthy soils are at the heart of farm and ecosystem health, while also understanding they need to be productive and profitable.
Col’s interest and drive to know more and understand more about the links between soil health, landscape and personal health has introduced him to some of the most successful farmers in the country.
Col featured in the Winter 2023 edition of From the Ground Up, Issue 69. This is our member magazine which comes out three times a year, and is one of the benefits of joining VicNoTill.
