Can changing how and when you graze lift pasture and stock performance?
Join us in Darkan Thu 5 Nov, 9am-2pm, for a hands-on workshop and a visit to our rotational grazing trial site. Small hobby blocks to large operations welcome.

Are you joining us at our Trials Tuesday
tomorrow?
Come join us to have a look through our faba bean
trials at Frankland River!
We’ll be checking out weed control strategies,
management opportunities and new varieties, plus
SCF’s PGR trial.
Come see how they’re performing for yourself
tomorrow, Tuesday 22 September, 3–5pm.
📍 Kenny Rd, Frankland River – follow the SCF signs.
The trials form part of the @GGA_WA @thegrdc invested project 'Closing the Economic Yield
Gap of Grain Legumes in WA.
Then head to Frankland River Hall for Commodity Ag’s Seasonal Catch-Up, 5–7pm. Beers & BBQ provided.

@CFIG_AG Riskwise project, N timing by seed rate matrix is starting to checkerboard after the 2nd N timing. Going to provide some interesting discussion after harvest..

Farming in the High Rainfall Zone is unique!
@theGRDC and @DPIRDbroadacre are investing some long-term $$ in this space, come and see what they are up to at the SCF Winter Warm-up, this Thursday, 23 July.

Our first round of results from our @theGRDC N-Watch Project are live!
We will be posting weekly with the fortnightly tissue and soil test results from 4 locations across our region to see how nitrogen applications hold up throughout the season.
Stay tuned for the other three sites data next week!
If you haven't heard of the project watch the video in the link below:

Nitrogen decisions matter more than ever this season.
We're excited to launch our new #NWatch project, helping Great Southern HRZ growers make smarter in-season N decisions through fortnightly tissue testing, soil N monitoring and local trial sites.
Thanks to @theGRDC for funding this work. First results drop tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Our first results for our Boxwood Hill N-Watch testing are live!
It will be interesting to see how these results fair as we tissue and soil test fortnightly over the growing season.
To see the full suite of results as they go live head to our website and search dashboard or await the updates on socials!
Thanks to @theGRDC for funding this project.

Making nitrogen decisions in June feels a bit like trying to predict who’ll win the footy in September 🏆
Find out how we made nitrogen decisions in Hart Beat Issue 71 and follow along as we put it to the test in the paddock! 🚜🌱

In this GRDC video we hear from WA growers Nick Scotney and Timm House as well as agronomists Erin Cahill and Tom McInerney.
We find out what makes legumes profitable, how profitable they need to be to make it worthwhile, and the multi-year factors at play.

The RiskWi$e project is a GRDC investment helping grain growers better understand the risks and rewards associated with increasingly costly and complex on-farm decisions.
GGA leads the project in the western region and in partnership with Facey Group and Corrigin Farm Improvement Group, is delving into how growers navigate sowing decisions, which can be impacted by both frost and/or late season heat stress.
Read more about the work these grower groups are undertaking, as part of the RiskWi$e initiative, in the latest #groundcover article below.
GGA is collaborating with eight Western Australian grower group project partners, as part of the project, to explore decision-making on nitrogen, sowing decisions and machinery investment. Read more at gga.org.au/activity/riskwise…

Excited to share the latest results on our 'Fertiliser for Grain Legumes' project, outlining the work being undertaken by Living Farm with @theGRDC across WA. It's about species and soil - not rules of thumb!
Daniel Kidd retweeted
Join MLA for a webinar sharing findings from four years of research for the SheepLinks Feed365 project in WA.
Lead researchers, DPIRD's Daniel Real and Paul Sanford, will cover:
✅Carrying capacity increases from ~9DSE/ha for winter and spring, to 10 DSE/ha all year round
✅Which pasture and forage mixes performed best across key seasonal feed gaps
✅How alternative species can help manage variable seasons and smooth feed supply

If you're into faba beans make sure you follow this trial with @Stirlings2Coast. Going to be a number of useful outputs to help maximise yields. 🌱 – at Perth, Western Australia
Some great data and insights being generated by these 2 groups that are helping with sowing decisions in frost prone areas of WA. The decision support tools like DPIRD Flower Power still provide accurate predictions on flowering windows and CSIRO are developing a tool for canola – at Perth, Western Australia
A GRDC-supported RiskWi$e project in WA is seeking to help growers better understand the interrelationship between time of sowing (TOS) and the risks of frost or heat stress.
