In the early 90’s we gave low-input agriculture a red hot crack, with a mindset of absolutely wanting this system/belief to work economically 💰& if possible grow the business as well. Nine years later the engine of the business ground to an abrupt stop. It only took 9 years to mine the phosphorus, sulphur, nitrogen, and calcium out of the landscape. The early indicators were The grass bank 💰got smaller each year regardless of rainfall. Stocking rates in the first 4 years were ok as normal then they fell off the cliff by year 7, by year 9 adjusted to stocking rate per Ha/100mm rainfall we were running 51% less DSE, S Low input Low risk Low return on assets managed (ROAM) Keep in mind we farm in a pretty safe environment in the central west of NSW, with 650mm average rainfall which falls fairly evenly over the year.

Setting up a new break fence in a kale crop for some trade heifers. Kale is powering on ahead of the fence. 114 hd getting about 1 ha/week with ad lib straw

As a dairy farming community we need to get behind this so we can have an effective advocacy organisation #ausdairy #Dairyfarmersvictoria

@PhilWhitp4 Is there another way?

Only way to garden 😁

Very content triplets, not all of them have this level of lambing site but nice to provide it where we can.

@ajackag13 @barnoolut Compromising a long term pasture establishment comes at a risk, lost production and $$. Often the major winner is the seed supplier and sowing contractor who get to have another dip the following year. I found this thought provoking. moffittsfarm.com.au/2023/03/01/is-…

@cameronmorris @barnoolut “Spraying before sowing pasture will reduce carbon levels” Gordon 2020

This is so important for us to think about. The rise of pseudo-science especially in agronomy is growing. The problem is it feeds into populous feel good thinking around food production. Government policy made without rigorous science is a disaster

@barnoolut @ajackag13 Also interested in the explanation. Referring to L Gordon and RegenAgAlliance or a quote from the presentation?

@ajackag13 Please explain?

@PhilWhitp4 Are you getting any work out of them? Could be a solution to the dairy labour shortage in SW Vic

There’s a drop bear in the dairy again these guys just won’t leave me be 🤦‍♂️

@hagger_matt This may be helpful.

Looking for someone with experience spraying forage brassica with insecticides.. if I can follow the WHP and ESI accurately, then I don’t need to worry about the EAFI? Is this correct? However if sheep are returned to sprayed feed before WHP/ESI are finished, then I follow EAFI??

(1) Fed & State Govs spend billions on road infrastructure every year, new roads and repairs. Are there 'warranties' on these works? If not, why not? Companies that win tenders to build/repair roads should be responsible for any repairs for at least the first 5 years...

Regrowth after simulated heavy silage cut (left) or cut at 3 left stage (right). Both plots sown with same rate of clover.
