Professor Derrick Moot is known by many as the Lucerne Guru…  It all started after he revived interest in this luscious legume, through preaching the benefits of direct grazing…  Patches of green lucerne are all over dryland NZ and he has his own text service to farmers on how to manage lucerne…  But he’s not a one-trick pony…  Prof Moot is a lecturer in Agricultural Sciences at Lincoln University and is heavily involved in on-farm research…  One of his more recent projects has been the Hill Country Futures programme - an eight-million dollar programme focused on future-proofing the profitability, sustainability and well-being of New Zealand's hill country…  He joins us today, to tell us more about it. And maybe mention that L word.
