Shifting weather patterns can lead to increased soil and pest challenges, potentially hindering your pastures before they are even established. Adding seed treatment to your next pasture order is as simple as requesting it from your rural merchant. Even better, all of our grass varieties available this season can be supplied with Superstrike® seed treatment. Give your pastures the best start possible!

    Seed Dating: Revel annual ryegrass

    Annual ryegrass is a great fit for any landscape due to its short season nature.

Agricom's brand new annual variety Revel stands out with its consistent ability to recover from a range of environmental conditions. It’s the ideal choice to follow summer crops like maize or chicory, delivering punches of winter feed to your farm system before spring rolls around again.

    Just like a game of chess - paddock rotations

    In this episode, Al & Juddy explore the importance of paddock rotations and long term planning in farming systems. They outline the potential of a 7-10 year plan, ranging from grass-to-grass transitions to more complex systems that incorporate crops like fodder beet, kale, and lucerne. These planned cropping cycles can stack yields, tackle hard-to-kill weeds, and streamline farm management. No matter your farm type, this discussion offers valuable insights into transforming unproductive paddocks and improving overall efficiency with forward thinking. “Stacking yields in a well designed rotation allows you to maximise productivity and capture more feed across different seasons, ultimately making the best use of your land.’ – Allister Moorhead See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
