Wallup - Stock and Crop Sustainable Management Below and Above Ground

Sponsored group, Wallup Ag Group, will undertake this project with the sponsorship of Yarrilinks Incorporated. This project will help farmers experiencing reduced rainfall by providing them with practical knowledge and tools on managing stock and soil through dry periods and on the value soil moisture probes. Through support of BESTWOOL/BESTLAMB membership, workshops and field days, farmers will learn how to manage stock nutritional requirements and condition, maintain groundcover to avoid soil erosion, and how to set up and utilise stock containment yards. The project will improve understanding of soil moisture probes, allowing more informed decisions on crop selection, planting, and the timing and rates of fertiliser application. The project will involve up to 40 farmers and improve practices over more than 45,000 hectares.
