🐝🍀 Researchers from NSW Pastures have evaluated 22 #pasturelegumes for their #honey production potential. 🍯 The most- and least-promising species are being identified based on data analysis, with the shortlist due for release late 2024. More 👇 bit.ly/3XKL6Cr

Check out our Upcoming Pastures Field Day this Friday 9th August at Mangoplah with guest speakers Jim Virgona (Graminus Consulting) and Richard Hayes (NSW DPI) Register Here 👉events.humanitix.com/pasture-field-…

Another Day another lime trial. Cowra lime expt. 4 pH profiles x 2 phos rates. Installing neutron probe tubes today to see if improving Colwell P and soil pH can increase water extraction at depth under pasture Meat & Livestock Australia Richard Hayes @DrJasonCondon

All welcome, FarmLink Open Day is back with a packed program It’s all here: everything from SwarmFarm Robotics Demos, an expert speaker line-up, latest agricultural research, green ammonia potential, nitrogen banking, sheep reproduction, cropping disease updates, climate,

Taking grab samples at the Mangoplah liming site to compare herbage quality & mineral profile of different species, +/- lime. 2023 sampling showed sulla to have a unique & desirable min profile; low K, mod Na, high Mg. #Hippo NSW Pastures

Measuring the DM costs of untreated acidic soils on the #hippo pasture trial @ Morven. Not all responses were expected; strawberry clover doing surprisingly well in mixtures with phalaris. Grab samples tomorrow then time for the lambs to go in Holbrook Landcare NSW Pastures

Out pasture sampling around Coonabarabran. Does wearing the same colour help with productivity?🤷‍♀️ Soil tests showed a lack of sulphur, following up with tissue testing to see if plants are deficient too. Also looking at legume content of the pastures. #hippo project Richard Hayes

Wondering how our Acid Soils site at Morven is going? Join Nick and Dr. Rebecca Haling (CSRIO), Dr. Richard Hayes (NSW DPIRD), Dr. Jason Condon (CSU) for our upcoming trial site walk! Register here: events.humanitix.com/morven-trial-s…

Some great research between pasture and bee experts.

Harvesting Matthew Newell's perennial wheat variety trial at Orange Agricultural Institute today to look at grain yield and post-harvest survival. Each plot was done by hand to keep the seed clean for sowing additional sites next year. NSW Agriculture

🌾🌾 GROWER STORY Curt Severin has incorporated lime using deep tillage to overcome an ‘acid throttle’ on the family’s mixed farm near Brocklesby in southern NSW. He sought out expert advice and assistance - including from Precision Agriculture, Charles Sturt University, NSW

Diversity of seed size gives promise for further selection of grain quality.

📣🌱 Scientists from #WAARC member organisations have developed a world-first cultivar of the legume pasture species Trigonella balansae, offering a header harvestable crop-pasture option for Wheatbelt farmers. #HALO GRDC Murdoch University @DPIRDWA CSIRO 👉🏻 waarc.org.au/updates/world-…
