FutureBeef podcast, episode 14: Pasture dieback you say? We’ve got you (ground) covered!
There’s a few different ways to tackle pasture dieback, and it’s safe to say the Close family have tried most of them. In this episode of the Futurebeef podcast, host Jayne Cuddihy tackles the challenging topic of pasture dieback—a growing concern for producers across Northern Australia. Joined by Cyril and Cody Close, who share their firsthand experience with dieback on their Roma property, and Ted Callanan from Queensland’s Department of Primary Industries, the discussion explores the rapid impact of dieback and the practical treatments being used to restore affected paddocks.
Tune in for candid insights, expert advice, and a reminder that support and solutions are just a conversation away.
