Checked out a paddock of #Pallaton #Raphanobrassica spring sown, versus #Titan #Rape this morning, with Elders rep in Southern #Tasmania. Titan performed well, but Pallaton showing very good #plant #density and #productivity right into #winter

Another example of @PGGWrightson_AU #Titan #Forage #Rape and annual ryegrass, autumn sown into oat stubble, providing bulk winter feed for Scott Auton in NE Tasmania. #PerformanceBred #Beef #Feed #Brassica #Grazing #Tasmania Elders Nutrien Vic SA Tas @eemuir @Serve_Ag

Checking a spring sown #Pallaton #Raphanobrassica crop on beef operation , in NW Tasmania, with @Serve_Ag agronomist Deon Heys. 6 weeks post sowing. Exciting to see results of beef production. #CroppingRotation option #Beef @eemuir #Fertiliser applied, #WeedControl

Winter feed crops progressing well. #Regal #Kale sown on NW #Tasmania dairy farm for planned bulk #winterfeed in June and July 2021. @PGGWrightson_AU DairyTas TIA Dairy #kale #forage #brassicas #dairy #cows #planning

That is a great photo Emma. Are you suggesting that the lambs ate the Pallaton , but preferred eating dry standing grass over the crop on the other side? Animals tell the story.

NEW Booster 81crm #silage #maize from #CorsonMaize , 60 days post sowing. Early maturing option, to allow for silage yield and sow down to #perennial #pasture. Sown 5th December 2020. Nutrien Vic SA Tas Elders @Serve_Ag DairyTas @PGGWrightson_AU

Ever wondered why the first nip off graze is SO important? Here is a quick video with some key tips for setting up new pasture this autumn so you can get the most from this amazing home grown feed.

Great follow up trip to Tassie to see #foragekale well into its growing season. Slightly mind boggling numbers with 450ha, looking to feed 3000 cows with a likely yield up around 18T. #homegrownfeed #winteringcows #seriousdrycowtucker

#Pallton #raphnobrassica being well grazed in autumn in Tasmania. This species seems to thrive on what would otherwise be considered “abuse” in #foragebrassica circles. Rotationally grazed (hard!) with good numbers, feed to production numbers - its a serious beast in the paddock!

Great to see the work #TasmanianInsituteofAgriculture is doing around establishing #legumes in #phalaris - even in the tough end of the season some clear differences were visible which may change how farmers aim to incorporate #quality into #pasture

#Booster #Maize from #CorsonMaize being harvested in Northern #Tasmania. Heavy frost last week, but crop has yielded well for an early maturing (81crm) silage option. Another quality #forage option from @PGGWrightson_AU Nutrien Vic SA Tas #silage #conservedfeed #dairy

Some amazing differences in persistency showing up, and highlighting the value of trials in various locations. What do you think has caused the differences?

#GrazingTolerant Lucerne or #lucerne that tolerates grazing? We discussed this in the field today with agros from @Serve_Ag and showed the #sub-surface #budding characteristic of Torrens GT8 Lucerne, and why it persists under heavy grazing. @PGGWrightson_AU @eemuir

Good to be able to show #Sulla #Cocksfoot #Clover in a #beef #grazing system to @Serve_Ag agronomists today. Sown in late April, the Sulla is developing a strong #taproot already, and the Legacy white clover is forming nodules. @eemuir @PGGWrightson_AU Meat & Livestock Australia

The effect of competition. Reintroducing clovers into grass (phalaris) dominant swards. Direct drilled red clover. Roundup @ 0.5l/ha held the phalaris back and allowed establishment vs nil TIA Meat & Livestock Australia The Forage Forum

#Steers loving the #Pallaton #Raphanobrassica in NE Tasmania. 210 x 400kg steers took 20 days to graze first 7.5ha quarter under pivot irrigation. Should provide #beef feed until end of winter, then sow down to #chicory and #clover blend. Elders Thomas Elder Consulting Meat & Livestock Australia
