Mackillop Farm Management Group (MFMG) is seeking farmers who grow annual or perennial clovers, faba beans, or other legumes of interest to join a discussion group, and/or provide a Producer Demonstration Site. 
The group will form part of an MFMG  MLA GRDC Legumes in Mixed Farming Rotations Project which aims to demonstrate the economic value of including annual or perennial crops in a paddock rotation and any carry over value in the following cereal crops.

You’re invited!

Five Producer Demonstration Sites will be established, with regular field days.

• The role of legumes in a crop rotation
