General Knowledge Quiz Quiz

slide-5
SLIDE 5

1.What are the TWO free energies that run my farm?

slide-6
SLIDE 6

Sunlight Gravity

slide-7
SLIDE 7
  • 2. How do I assess my basic farm productivity?
slide-8
SLIDE 8

The total GRE REEN SU SURF RFACE ARE REA of my farming system i.e., Which translates as the conversion of Sunlight energy into Organic matter Via the process of photosynthesis.

  • 3. What is the purist and most readily

available WATER for plants, on your farm?

slide-10
SLIDE 10

Dew includes mists, fog, all commonly referred to as the DAILY WATER CYCLE.

slide-11
SLIDE 11
  • 4. Where does the energy that powers

cyclones, typhoons and tornados, as well as, high and low pressure systems come from?

slide-12
SLIDE 12

The energy released from the La Latent Heat of Condensation, when WATER changes of state from a gas to a liquid

slide-13
SLIDE 13
  • 5. How do landscape ecosystems

maintain their fertility (carbon) balance?

slide-14
SLIDE 14

One way that nature does this is by growing edible and inedible plants together

slide-15
SLIDE 15
  • 6. Dryland Salinity. Does salt rise (against gravity)?

Or do you think it is moved laterally and expressed at the surface?

slide-16
SLIDE 16

No

  • No. It can only move laterally to appear on the surface.
slide-17
SLIDE 17
  • 7. In Australia, are high water tables in farming systems

beneficial to productive outcomes or detrimental?

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Ne Never, when managed correctly.

  • 9. Can you identify the natural, landscape progression

in ALL terrestrial ecosystems?

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Put very simply, it is a progression from a hig high point to a low point.ie., from the Mountain to the sea and from Forestry to aquaculture (high to low)

slide-23
SLIDE 23
  • 10. Finally, what is the numerical value of the

Carbon/Nitrogen ratio? And as a farmer, what is the significance of this ratio to farm productivity?

SLIDE 25

Why NSF (Natural Sequence Farming) & TPT (Tarwyn Park Training)

  • All about water
  • Plants not soil
  • European Landscape Function

a) Freeze b) Thaw

  • Australian Landscape Function

a) Perched wetlands b) Feedback loops

Contouring-WHY?

Nature’s way of contouring known as chain mailing

slide-28
SLIDE 28
slide-29
SLIDE 29

Contouring-WHY?

Chain Mailing in steeper country

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Contouring-WHY?

The end result of a bank less contour

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Contouring-WHY?

Bank less contour before and after rain.

Farm Planning

When planning your farm you can split it into three main zones: 1. The Accumulation Zone- where nutrients are transported and trees are planted. 2. The Cropping Zone- consists of grazing, cropping or hay making 3. The Filtration Zone- consists of wetlands or wet areas
