Stratagies to increase profit and sustainability

This three day workshop will help you to:

  • assess the condition of your paddocks and improve their carrying capacity
  • understand the relationships between pasture, water, soils, woodlands, biodiversity, fire and weeds
  • determine the financial impact of a range of grazing management options

Questions that will be answered for your individual circumstances:

  • What condition are my paddocks in?
  • Can I improve their carrying capacities and how can it be done?
  • What role should fire play in my property management?
  • How can I get the right balance of trees and pasture?
  • Is pasture improvement an option on my property?
  • How can I plan and implement a weed control plan?
