    Innovative farmers in the Herbert : Environmental protection agency project final report
    (2007) Shannon, G; Park, G
    Farming systems innovation has been taking place in the Herbert region since the early days of the sugar industry. During the 1960s and 1970s a complete change in the farming system took place with the introduction of green-cane trash blanketing. From the 1990s the greatest change taking place is the tackling of yield-decline issues, based on improvements to soil health using a whole-farm system centred on reduced tillage, legume fallows and controlled traffic. This project was developed to create a 'snapshot' of three different groups of growers at varying stages of implementation of the whole-farm system. It was considered that this would aid the adoption process through peer learning and group extension processes.
