Investigating improved Soil, Pasture and Grazing Systems

Are you interested in improving soil, pasture and grazing management on your property?

Here is a chance to be involved in a research project and access up to $26,000 to assist with implementation.  North Coast Local Land Services is looking for a beef producer to partner with.

North Coast Local Land Services in collaboration with Catchment Action New South Wales (CANSW), seek to establish a research and demonstration project to investigate improved soil, pasture and grazing management system. A grant of up to $26,000 is available to an eligible beef producer to assist in the implementation of this project.

This project will allow you to access the best available information and advice for improving beef production on the North Coast, assistance in the concepts of improved grazing principles and in the sub-division of paddocks and watering points to implement a
modified grazing system.

To be involved you must be willing to share farm records and your time to work with the Sustainable Agriculture team and other relevant industry personnel to collect and interpret data relating to soil health, pasture species, growth and uptake as well as animal
production to determine key financial and productivity indicators.

The project hopes to identify better ways to produce more beef per hectare through improved management, with a focus on pasture production, grazing and carrying capacity whilst still meeting the nutritional needs of cattle in an economically and environmentally sustainable way.

If you’re a producer in the Nambucca, Macleay or Hastings Valley areas and are interested in this project contact Alix Johnston on
