Farmer insights to help boost red meat production
NSW farmers have been asked to inform research which aims to underpin the state’s multi-billion dollar red meat industry in a changing and variable climate by integrating tropical perennial grasses into grazing systems.
NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) senior research scientist, Suzanne Boschma, said an online survey is now open until April18.
“Responses from farmers who have little or no experience with tropical perennial pastures and those who have sown or currently manage these grasses are welcome,” Dr Boschma said.
“Farmers’ input will be used to develop the agronomy packages and guidelines they need to successfully establish and manage tropical grasses in central and southern NSW.”
