GROWING COUNTRY ORIGINAL
Tom and Antoinette Archer run a grazing operation just outside Goondiwindi on the Queensland-New South Wales border. When they purchased their first property, Rexton, in 1998, it was in poor condition and severely overgrazed.
Tom and Antoinette began exploring alternative methodologies to find a better way to manage the property. They participated in a holistic management course and then invested in further education with the Resource Consulting Services (RCS) Grazing for Profit course.
Their period of research and education resulted in the decision to implement time-controlled grazing methods on Rexton. This case study video examines the dramatic improvements to Rexton's drought resilience, carrying capacity and biodiversity as a result.
Tom and Antoinette have since purchased a second property, Rainmore, and are implementing these management practices to build its productivity and resilience too.
