Dryland Pasture - Personalised Assessments
​
​Expressions of Interest

Do you have grazing paddocks that you wish were more productive?

Are you looking for a more resilient pasture system that persists across a range of seasons?

​We're  looking for landholders to participate in personalised assessments for dryland pasture establishment on-farm.
 
WMLIG have been researching and testing a dynamic pasture mix suited to this region since 2013, and are now looking to extend this experience to landholders.

We are offering personalised advice on:
  • appropriate pasture mixes
  • seed ordering & sowing methods
  • weed management
  • grazing practices to boost productivity and persistence
 
Demonstration sites have shown an increase in carrying capacity of 1.5–2.4 DSE above standard district practice by improving the palatability and nutritional quality of dryland pastures (table 2), extending the grazing period, reducing supplementary feeding and deferring grazing of other parts parts of the farm, allowing more pasture to grow elsewhere. Studies have shown that this type of system had the potential to increase whole farm profit by 15-20%!
