Pasture Updates New South Wales 2016-18

Summary

This final report details the outcomes of the Crookwell pasture update, 5 March 2019, and summarises the outcomes of the societies 15 pasture updates from 2016 to 2018.

The 15 updates were attended by 1050 participants an increase of 40 % over the contracted number. Most delegates were producers or producers' staff. This meant the messages delivered at each pasture update were being received at the grass roots level. There were also a significant number of farm advisers, resellers or consultants attending so our messages were further extended through their network of clients.

The pasture updates were a combination of formal delivery and on farm visits to inspect trial/demonstration work or adaptations producers have used to integrate pasture and livestock technologies.

The Grassland Society of NSW took the Pasture Updates to a large cross section of NSW.
