Ray Zamora is a leader in regenerative agriculture in the Tully district. His "outside the square" thinking and approach to farming has shaped the way he grows sugar cane.

Fiona was lucky enough to sit beside the cool flowing waters of Murray Falls to record this episode. "Murray Falls are the source of the Murray River and we farm on the Murray River flood plains. You can almost feel the energy in the water here," Ray said.

Hear about Ray's zero till planting regime, why he focuses on soil health and what drives him to try new things and "push the boundaries" of traditional farming.

East Feluga tropical fruit farmer Peter Salleras took a different path to his cane farmer forefathers.

In the early eighties he ventured over to Bali and was enticed by the vibrancy and flavour of tropical, exotic fruit.

Thirty-five years on and two severe cyclones later, his family's farm, Fruit Forest Farm, is a thriving botanical arc of tropical and exotic fruit trees.

Peter and his son-in-law Warren are active members of the East Feluga MIP shed meeting grower group, take soil health seriously and are always looking to improve and innovate where they can.

For third generation cane farmer Chris O'Kane, looking after the land is in his blood. His late father Bernie was a true innovator and "wasn't afraid to try new things."

Following in their father's footsteps, Chris and his brother Michael have designed equipment to improve efficiency and production and brew their own microbes on site.

Hear about their fallow trials, what's in their special fallow mix and why they're putting soil health at the forefront of their farming practices.
