Join local expert Tim Prance in the paddock to look at different trial plots, get involved in assessing pasture composition, and a broad discussion including:

• costs and benefits
• dry matter production
• grazing management
• cereal potential
• feed quality
• soil health

The trial aims to assess costs and benefits of sowing a mix of annual species including a dominant cereal into living perennial pasture. This was done without tillage or herbicide. The idea is to provide additional grazing potential as well as the option of taking a cereal crop off if conditions allow.

11 different species have been sown in trial plots both individually and together. A range of different fertiliser treatments have also been applied across the plots. Some larger areas have also been sown in a similar manner.

Tim Prance will facilitate the day and lead discussions. Tim is a highly experienced consultant in the Fleurieu region and is assisting and advising Woodlands Run to undertake the trials.
