Be part of a growing network of farmers pioneering agriculture practices for a sustainable farming future.
Our Australian no-till farming community brings together growers from across the country who share a common goal – to advance large-scale regenerative and biological farming systems.
As a member, you’ll join a united network of farmers who exchange practical knowledge and expertise in soil-building systems, whether your enterprise is 100% cropping or includes sheep and cattle.

"This group is made up of whole lot of farmers who think outside the square. They ask a lot of questions about their soils, their crops, their farming systems, and they aren't satisfied with the status quo. They continually strive to do better and are making changes from the ground down - down to the soil health, to the soil biology, to the soil structure - and also from the ground up." JOEL WILLIAMS, INTEGRATED SOILS

"My life changed after attending my first VicNoTill conference in 2011 – their whole ‘farmers helping farmers’ approach opened my eyes to discoveries in ag beyond what I ever imagined. I am still very involved as a sponsor as well as a farmer. I’m always guaranteed to learn something new and they provide a brilliant opportunity to showcase my products.” Grant Sims, Downunder Ag
