Maximising Spring 2025

Join respected farm consultant Phil Shannon for a workshop supporting dairy farmers to maximise home-grown feed heading into spring 2025.

Phil will cover the technical and practical aspects of managing:

Pasture

If early pasture repairs have failed, what options are there to resow or oversow?

How can you maximise pasture growth with fertiliser and/or ameliorants?

What pasture pests are you likely to see and how do you go about controlling them?

Fodder

What options are there to restock your fodder reserves, particularly in a year with potentially low yields due to thin or overgrazed pastures?

Spring/summer crops

How do you select the most appropriate crops to meet the needs of your herd?

Debbie Twiss, Extension Advisor, will cover how to support rumen health and fertility.

Now is the time to assess your current feed resources and make informed decisions to close feeds gaps.
