It is coming up to a key time of the year for many of our dairy businesses, that being the autumn sowing period. There are many things to consider now to get the best outcome for your pasture production in the winter and spring period ahead. My guest this month is agronomist Josh Hack from Ag Farming Systems. Josh recently spoke at an autumn pasture and seasonal update day held on farm near Taree on the Mid North Coast of NSW which was organised by the Hunter Local Lands Services.
In this session Josh discusses the 5 key things he thinks every farmer needs to get right before sowing is considered and reinforces the need to be prepared and ready to sow when good conditions present themselves. We also touch on some of the challenges that farmers have faced with pastures over an unusually cool summer period for much of NSW.
