Description

Ben and Craig go for a drive around the farm checking rain guage, crops and pastures. We discuss early season crop issues, particularly around variable germinations, weed, insect and disease challenges.
We look at the progress of the Bluegum paddocks renovation which is coming along really welll including nutritional requirments for these situations.
Pastures are growing slowly at the moment with supplemental feeding still ongoing, but close to conclusion. Ben talks about the Lifetime Ewe Management Courses ( https://rist.edu.au/lifetime-ewe-management )and how these help make stock feeding decisions.
