Filming a producer case study yesterday near Glen Innes. Sid has been using annual fodder mixes to manage an increase in seasonal variability and to rundown the Chilean Needle Grass seed bank. This year's mix has oats, ryegrass, turnip, tillage radish, forage brassica and vetch.

Meet our 269 new recruits at Glen Innes research station! Their job? Graze mixed-species fodder crops, get weighed, wear collars and pose for photos. It's a short-term gig lasting up to 120 days. They seem up to the task and are raring to get into the field. Carol @nswdpi

🐝🍀 Researchers from NSW Pastures have evaluated 22 #pasturelegumes for their #honey production potential. 🍯 The most- and least-promising species are being identified based on data analysis, with the shortlist due for release late 2024. More 👇 bit.ly/3XKL6Cr

Another Day another lime trial. Cowra lime expt. 4 pH profiles x 2 phos rates. Installing neutron probe tubes today to see if improving Colwell P and soil pH can increase water extraction at depth under pasture Meat & Livestock Australia Richard Hayes Jason Condon

All welcome, FarmLink Open Day is back with a packed program It’s all here: everything from SwarmFarm Robotics Demos, an expert speaker line-up, latest agricultural research, green ammonia potential, nitrogen banking, sheep reproduction, cropping disease updates, climate,

Taking grab samples at the Mangoplah liming site to compare herbage quality & mineral profile of different species, +/- lime. 2023 sampling showed sulla to have a unique & desirable min profile; low K, mod Na, high Mg. #Hippo NSW Pastures

Measuring the DM costs of untreated acidic soils on the #hippo pasture trial @ Morven. Not all responses were expected; strawberry clover doing surprisingly well in mixtures with phalaris. Grab samples tomorrow then time for the lambs to go in Holbrook Landcare NSW Pastures

Out pasture sampling around Coonabarabran. Does wearing the same colour help with productivity?🤷‍♀️ Soil tests showed a lack of sulphur, following up with tissue testing to see if plants are deficient too. Also looking at legume content of the pastures. #hippo project Richard Hayes
