The Herbert family feed lot boasts a proud farming heritage stretching back six generations to 1791. Currently the Herbert family are a major supplier of beef cattle, even growing and fermenting their own silage. When they tried to expand their agriculture business there was no support. With the help that came from Bankwest and their agricultural finance, Australia's oldest farming family are back on track and looking forward to the next 200 years on the land.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2010/11/24/Joel_Salatin_War_Stories_from_the_Local_Food_Front Joel Salatin imagines an ideal environment for breeding pathogens and disease, a depiction that shockingly describes most modern industrial agricultural facilities. Stressing the backwardness of regulations, Salatin mockingly explains, "But it's OK if we zap it with some radiation a thousand miles away out here at the food processing plant. That's food safety." ---- Joel Salatin has been featured in Michael Pollan's book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and in the films Fresh and Food Inc. He is also the author of six books including Family Friendly Farming, Salad Bar Beef, and his latest, Everything I Want To Do is Illegal: War Stories from the Local Food Front. He is a full-time farmer of the highly successful Polyface Farms, and winner of the Heinz International Award for Environmental Leadership.

This 16mm film shows, without narration, one season in the life of a wheat farmer in the wheat belt town of Corrigin, Western Australia. Accompanied only by music, we see aspects of farming which includes the ploughing, seeding, fertilizing and harvesting of a wheat crop. Also shown is the farming and shearing of sheep, as well as a glimpse of the farmer's recreational time. This film was produced by WAVE (West Australian Visual Education) in 1974.

Meet a Kohlrabi and find out a bit of information about them. This video is purely entertaining with a bit of information placed in there. I thought it to be a more interesting way of showing kohlrabi rather than just more shots of us planting and harvesting it. I'm curious to hear your comments.

Windmills have come a long way in the last century, especially now with GE's new technological advances in wind farming. Cutting edge isn't just a phrase when it comes to describing GE's first wind farm in Australia. These wind turbines feature an innovative serrated edge on top of each 50 meter blade section, drastically reducing noise level when in operation. Integrating parts shipped in from all over the world, as far as Brazil and Germany, GE is helping provide Western Australia with a source of renewable clean energy. These green energy giants tower above farms of cereal and flocks of sheep, creating an eye popping new landscape in Mumbida, Western Australia. Watch as GE works to make the world a little better and cleaner, one turbine at a time. Learn more are http://www.ge.com/au.
