Summary
This project developed a draft one day workshop for CMA staff in southern Australia, conveying the key messages about the interconnection between producer production issues and NRM. The project produced an outline of a workshop, lesson plans and participant manual. The workshop and participant manual was based on the PROGRAZE training course and highlightedpasture assessment, perennials and water balance, nutrient use, soil stability, weed ingression, grazing management and basic ecology grazing planning, feed budgeting and targeting markets, casestudy of a farmlet to demonstrate grazing impacts of decisions to remove land from grazing, and outline a group exercise, to develop in the participant's minds how to better communicate with the producers on NRM matters in a grazing business context.
Lesson plans for the delivery of the workshop were drafted.
