For many farmers their property is their kingdom, a piece of land that they control and nurture without interference. But a group of graziers in the New South Wales northern tablelands have chosen to relinquish this concept and instead combine their land into a single farm, sharing stock, resources, labour and most significantly, the decision-making process. This new approach to farming is based on a practice which began in medieval Europe one thousand years and these commoners believe it is not only good for their bottom line but also an innovative way to halt the environmental decline.
