WMLIG had about 50 people attend a field day at Grant Sims multi-enterprise farm where he gave attendees a tour of his biofertilizer manufacturing facility, explained how it works and why he decided to start making his own. He also went through the different cover crop seed mixes they put together and when and where they should be used. Grant has a wealth of knowledge about biofertilizer and cover crops explaining the benefits for livestock and crops, including: Enhances soil biology and improves soil structure. Increases infiltration. Reduces erosion. Assists in suppressing weeds. Increases nutrient cycling and wildlife propagation. Provide huge amounts of biomass that can be grazed with very little input. Low risk and low input for maximum production above and below ground. Grant has the facilities to make his own biofertilizer on farm, the benefits of biofertilizers are: Making plant nutrients more available to the plants. Enhances the production of plant hormones. Biofertilizers are cost effective when compared to traditional fertilizers. Reduce the need for traditional fertilisers. There is a potential for yield increases. Can improve the physical and chemical structure of the soil. It is eco-friendly.
