PIP COURTNEY, PRESENTER: Saltbush has long been a grazing godsend, powering through droughts and handling high salinity when other pastures disappear. In recent years, saltbush has also gained a reputation for improving meat quality and flavour. Now one innovative farming family in South Australia has harnessed the attributes of this hardy native plant by turning it into a pelletised livestock feed. Here's Kerry Staight.
KERRY STAIGHT, REPORTER: As wind turbines turn one natural resource into energy, a farming family which lives in the valley below is doing the same with another. After months of fine-tuning, the wheels are finally turning on Brian Wilson's pellet plant at Clements Gap, south of Port Pirie, transforming the resilient native shrub saltbush into a new kind of livestock feed.
BRIAN WILSON, WILSON PASTORAL: If you look around Australia, I think there's not too many places where you won't find saltbush growing. To me, I really think it's a wasted resource that's been under-utilised and hopefully, over a period of time, yeah, it'll become something really good.
KERRY STAIGHT: The Wilsons have been farming in the Mid North Region of South Australia for six generations and mainly grow wheat, barley and hay. In the last decade, they've also bought two grazing properties for their Wiltshire and Wiltipoll sheep and these have plenty of saltbush. With all these ingredients at his fingertips, Brian Wilson was inspired to take a traditional source of stockfeed in a new direction. .. video and more .. http://www.abc.net.au/landline/content/2015/s4333691.htm
