We had a fantastic morning at ensemble and co on Friday with our female farmers coming together for the launch of our females in farming series. It was an absolute joy to sit back and listen to our incredible guest speakers Kathleen Allan and Skye Ward. Plenty of food for thought and some great little pearls of wisdom - our personal favourite from Kathleen “if there’s no light at the end of the tunnel, go and turn the bloody light on!” This is the first event of 3, we look forward to the next!

One of the biggest challenges for livestock producers is managing the ever-changing relationship between pasture growth and livestock requirements, especially in our highly variable climate.

South East Local Land Services is running a free, 2-day hands-on workshop to give you the confidence and clarity to make proactive decisions year-round, using tools like Farming Forecaster, Grazfeed and Stockplan.

Workshops are being held in Braidwood, Yass and Crookwell in September. To find out more or register, click here - https://events.humanitix.com/host/south-east-local-land-services

TFS are looking forward to hosting the 3rd workshop in their Carbon Farming series. This next workshop will focus on calculating your emissions on farm - an integral step to help you understand your footprint and how you might be able to reduce it.

This workshop will guide you through how to calculate your on-farm emissions. We will then benchmark these results across a number of enterprises in our region and look at how farmers can reduce their emissions in ways that improve production and productivity.

Thank you to The Land for covering our event last Friday. Great to see one of our own highlighted for doing things a bit differently!

The corn is proving successful for lambing ewes.

Last Friday, TFS hosted an on farm workshop at Merrill focused on helping farmers navigate dry times. Matt from South East Local Land Services provided a seasonal outlook, discussed how to get the most out of your pasture this winter and looked at supplementary feeding options, including corn, which generated plenty of discussion. We then went into the paddock with Charlie Bell to see the broadcasting of corn in action to some ewes and lambs. To finish up, Charlie talked through his containment feeding process and the design of his pens. It was a very worthwhile day, with plenty of discussion and insight from local producers. Whilst times are pretty tough at the moment, it’s incredible to see producers thinking a bit out of the box and doing things a bit differently.
Big thank you to Southern NSW Innovation Hub for their funding support.
