Last night a bunch of men went out to Gary & Tania's farm to spend the night praying together.
The evening started with a tour of the property on the back of a ute. I've put a whole lot of photos into my Life 2010 album. Here are some highlights:
The picture of Gary just really captured the man in love with the land. He was showing us what he calls "God's Paddock" where the soil is so fertile that people all around marvel at the productivity. He takes a very organic approach to farming. He tries to avoid using pesticides and weed-killers although sometimes he has no choice. He builds up the soil by resting it completely for a number of years, he lets sheep and cattle into his cropping paddocks between crops so that they can eat the stubble and fertilise the soil. He's a great guy and has a great farm.
How beautiful!

ReplyDeleteThe picture says it all. You can see his love for farming in his face.
