Description

In this episode, Dairy Australia’s Development Lead – Feedbase and Nutrition, Dr Josie Garner, sits down with Farm Business Performance Lead, Neil Webster to discuss strategies around preparing for dry weather.   Neil and Josie highlight the importance of feed budgeting and how to use it. They also look at how to use Dairy Australia’s hay reports to make informed decisions when purchasing fodder as well as interpreting feed test reports and why it’s important to buy feed tested fodder.   This is the first in a series of DairyPod episodes that will focus on seasonal dry conditions and how farmers can prepare and plan for related challenges.  Find out more at Drought Support | Dairy Australia or visit the Dairy Australia website to get in touch with your regional team and find out about the related events that are taking place in your area.   Additionally, Fodder for the Future is designed to support the development of complementary farming systems, and optimise the use of both irrigated and dryland resources across the southern Murray-Darling Basin.
