Tablelands Farming Systems

21/11/2025

We had a fantastic day of shared learning on Monday in Crookwell for the Office Plus workshop with Carmen from AgriFocused. This was the next iteration of our Females in Farming Series thanks to funding from Crookwell 2 Wind Farm. Carmen provided lots of practical examples throughout the day making the session extremely relevant and useful for all attendees. Also a big thank you to Julie from Boyce who provided a useful overview on recent trends in financial management and available tools.

Full house in Goulburn last night as over 60 producers came along to hear Simon Quilty speak on markets and carbon. His prediction? The cattle and sheep market have not yet peaked, with both to peak around mid 2026. He also spoke a lot about tariffs, Trump and carbon, because whilst there is no foreseeable premium for carbon neutral meat, baselining and knowing your emissions will be essential for processors in months to come.

A great day last Friday at Butmaroo Station in Bungendore looking at a number of trial sites on the property. Despite the wind we had a great roll out of producers interested MLA funded research that addresses secondary nutrient deficiencies in pasture systems, including including sulfur, potassium and boran. We also had a look at some impressive serradella species, a legume that can be used in a similar way to sub clover. Plenty more to come on these projects. Thank you to Rebecca from CSIRO and Richard from NSW DPI for their insightful presentations as always.

Great turnout on Friday for our dual purpose cropping day at Tiranna with Delta Agribusiness. Despite the wind we had plenty of time to check out a few crops on the property, including an impressive faba bean crop, a crop typically not grown in the Tablelands but showing a lot of promise! We also discussed hay and silage making and enjoyed lunch provided by the Tarago RFS. More to come in this space!
