Our region’s heavy clay soils can be challenging when the farm is wet in winter.

Cows can damage pastures - called pugging - when walking around the saturated paddocks searching for feed.

Julian explains in this month’s farm journal the steps they have taken to reduce pugging and maintain healthy pastures.

We’re only a few days into winter, it’s blowing a gale and raining sideways.

In our first ever journal filmed indoors Julian sheds some light on what do when it’s “bucketing down”.

Despite fertiliser and fuel costs (for farm machinery) going through the roof the farm itself is operating well: the cows have calved, decent rains arrived in April, pastures are growing strongly and there is still silage from last spring/summer on farm.

All of this and more in Julian's autumn farm journal.

We're blown away and humbled by the response to Julian and Dianne receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2026 Victorian Small Business Awards.

Monday's Facebook post reached more than 20,000 people and resulted in lots of interest from local media.

Julian's message to small business owners is pretty simple.

Believe in yourself.

Regenerative farming is an approach to agriculture that focuses on restoring and enhancing the entire ecosystem of a farm, with an emphasis on soil health. One way we restore our soil is by transferring nutrient-rich effluent (wash-down water, cow manure and urine) into dams before pumping it out and spreading it across our pastures.

When managed correctly, effluent acts as a powerful, free organic fertiliser and puts organic matter and beneficial microbes back into the soil! The ability to spread effluent on pastures saves money by reducing the need to buy synthetic fertilisers which, together with fuel, have skyrocketed in cost recently as a result of global instability.

In this month’s journal Julian reports that they’re feeding out silage at the moment as the grasses have dried off. The water table is dropping but the cows are in great condition and they’re also calving at the moment.

Have a listen as Julian talks about the start of the year on the farm.

Think dairy farming is just about milking cows? Think again! 🚜

A huge part of our job is "harvesting the sun"—growing and storing grass so our 🐄herd has high-quality feed all year round. Since grass doesn't grow at the same rate every month, we have to plan for the dry seasons well in advance.

Here we’re stacking bales of silage. We cut this during spring and wrap it in plastic to ferment. This gives it a sweet smell and locks in nutrients, creating an energy-rich meal for when paddocks dry off and lose their quality (like right now!).

While we’ve had virtually no rain over summer, late spring rains did allow us a second cut. This gave us a lot of hay to feed out when the grass is high in moisture in autumn and winter.
