Join the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) and Ian and Penny MacGibbon at the Ametdale Grazing Demonstration Field Day to see a paddock scale demonstration of stocking around long-term carrying capacity, adjusting stocking rates proactively as seasons vary and wet season spelling. Hear how this relates to 20 years of grazing systems research at the Wambiana Grazing Trial, Charters Towers.

There will also be an update on progress with the pasture dieback projects.

  • Peter O’Reagain, Principal Research Scientist, Department of Agriculture and Fisheries
  • Mick Sullivan, Principal Beef Extension Officer, Department of Agriculture and Fisheries
  • Stuart Buck, Senior Agronomist (sown pastures), Department of Agriculture and Fisheries
