FIELD DAY
Spyglass Research Facility
Join us for an open day at Spyglass to hear updates on current research projects
Virtually Fence Free Project – NQ Dry Tropics & QDAF
This new 4 year experiment is investigating if virtual fencing technology
- can enable the productive use of previously ungrazed pastures
- allow rest on preferred pastures and areas
- maximise pasture production and drought resilience.
Gully Remediation Project – QDAF & DESI
Explore a variety of gully remediation treatments from from large to small trials on challenging Upper Burdekin soils. With the earthworks now complete, this is your chance to see different approaches in action and learn how they may improve soil health and erosion control.
Qld Pasture Resilience Project, Legume Demonstration Site – MLA & QDAF
The 80 ha site was planted in 2021 with separate paddocks of Leucaena, Desmanthus, Stylo and Grass, and has been grazed for two years. Come and see which pastures are performing the best and what is providing the highest cattle weight gains.
Cost:
Free! However, RSVPs are required by 21 October. Morning tea and lunch will be provided.
