Great to see @SADiscoveryFarm virtual fencing research getting coverage in the west. #FutureDroughtFund @SA_PIRSA @FlindersUniNews

Grower Group Alliance@GGA_WA

By giving farmers unprecedented control over grazing pressure, virtual fencing is shaping up as a powerful tool for dry‑season management and climate resilience. Esperance farmer Simon Fowler and SARDI researcher Bianca Agenbag joined us on the #WADroughtHub Dry Season Resources podcast to unpack how the technology is helping producers maximise pasture utilisation, run virtual feedlots through feed gaps, and protect precious feed reserves when seasons turn tough. 🎧 Listen here, or on your favourite podcast app: player.captivate.fm/episode/bad461… #FutureDroughtFund @SA_PIRSA @ASHEEPBEEF

Exciting to have two March barley germinations at Minnipa and Wunkar as part of @SAGrainTrust @SADiscoveryFarm project looking at varietal biomass for early grazing, and opportunistic grain and graze. Winter types looking great, while springs rapidly approach stem elongation.

The @SADiscoveryFarm is continuing disc seeder trials this season with @AgEngUniSA& @EldersLimited evaluating a Pillar disc/blade seeder vs 2 baseline seeders under 8 pre-em herbicides. A trial at Lameroo was sown to lentils into good moisture last week. #DiscSeeder #PreEmergence

Testing the concept of moisture sensing at seeding for more reliable crop establishment in marginal conditions - Sandy swale-dune moisture changed from 2-8.5% at 50-75mm, can placing seeds (deeper) into constant moisture deliver green strips? @SADiscoveryFarm #AMRDC_UniSA #MPT_ag
