Hello Kansas permaculture collaborative. Skyler Adamson here, writing from Callicrate Cattle Company in northwest Kansas. I am attending Regrarians Ltd REX10 design course with world renowned land planner Darren Doherty. At this course students are working side by side with Darren to design a farm plan for the calicrate family to improve the economic, social, hydrological, and biotic aspects of their 1200 acre ranch and Cattle feeding operation.
To quote the regrarians.org website "The Regrarians Platform is based on the‘Keyline Scale of Permanence’ developed by the late, great Australian agricultural designer, P.A. Yeomans as outlined in his 1958 classic, ‘The Challenge of Landscape’. The big evolution in the Regrarians Platform over Yeomans’ Keyline Scale of Permanence is its inclusion of social & economic themes, whereas Yeomans scale was very much centred on agriculture. The Regrarians Platform also has changes in some of the headings and adds 9. Economy & 10. Energy to Yeomans original eight headings."
This design system focuses on putting decision making into a holistic context, and the process is guided by the scale of permanence. I am very much enjoying the course and am find it to be very valuable. Check out the website and download chapters of the Regrarians handbook . It comes highly recommended by me. Thanks for reading and talk to you all later!
Sincerely Skyler Adamson.
