Millions of reasons to be involved in MLA’s research programs
Red meat producers participating in research and adoption programs have the potential to receive an additional $484 million for their businesses by 2040, according to an economic assessment of Meat & Livestock Australia’s (MLA) research adoption projects funded between 2015-20.
The Producer Adoption Outcomes Report details adoption projects and programs MLA delivered for the 2019-20 financial year and outlines how red meat producers have benefited from their involvement in them.
MLA’s General Manager of Research, Development and Adoption, Michael Crowley, said MLA was focused on accelerating the ability to get outcomes for commercial businesses by embedding producers into research from the beginning.

Taking a science-based approach to pastures
Taking a science-based approach to pastures
21 April 2021
With his background in cattle and pasture management research, it s no surprise SA beef producer Michael Cobiac looks for information based on science.
He s a strong advocate for programs such as MLA s More Beef from Pastures, Profitable Grazing Systems (PGS) Pasture Principles and MLA Producer Demonstration Sites (PDS) and has relied on their data-backed guidance to manage pastures since he returned to the family farm, Chelestan , at Reedy Creek in 2010.
In 2014, Michael and his partner Cath Bell purchased Chelestan. They were running sheep and cattle but three years ago sold the flock and started increasing cattle numbers.
