24.01.2022 Cheeky little project we have developed for the pasture market. Stay tuned to see how this performs as we will be giving it a fair run this year

23.01.2022 Last week SCF R&D Project Officer Phil Mackie seeded a pasture demonstration site for the Great Southern Livestock'20 event with the help of Heritage Seeds & Di...rect Seeding and Harvesting Equipment. Blends include lucerne, perenials, rye, turnip, pea, clover, and vetch. #livestock20 Registrations for the SCF and WAPC hosted Great Southern Livestock'20 Forum are now open.

20.01.2022 Proud to be a major sponsor of my grassroots football club. Don’t get out there as much as I would like to but enjoy helping where possible. Love your footy

19.01.2022 The GREAT SOUTHERN LIVESTOCK'20 event went ahead last week over the 22nd and 23rd of October. Day 1 of the event included a successful demo using the Direct Seeding Darryl Drill. All seed used for the Demo was supplied by Barenbrug and was sowed prior to the demo on the 5th of August 2020. ( approximately 12 weeks ago). A Virtual tour with photos and information has been added for anyone that is interested. If you were unable to attend or just keen to get a second look well thanks to social media it's your lucky day! The successful event that was hosted by Stirlings to Coast Farmers & WAPC included multiple stations and demonstrations from Barenbrug, Clipex Australia, Gallagher Electric Fence, Hitachi Global, and Pivotel. Thanks For having us & we look forward to the next one!

19.01.2022 Little Narrowfold we did just over a month ago. Really happy with how this one has turned out #gentopener #plant2020 #plant20

19.01.2022 BOX DRILL CADDY Imagine how many Caddys we could make if production was this fast!

18.01.2022 The Darryl Drill was put into motion on Friday with some pretty spectacular views from the tractor seat

17.01.2022 NF5000 The pictured Narrow Fold was requested to be fitted with 34 K-Hart 8612 Gent Openers across 5m. Our Direct Seeding Narrow Folds have proved to be a popular choice of bar with multiple currently in the manufacturing process ( ranging in various lengths and custom tooling)

17.01.2022 In-depth video for the Direct Seeding NF6000. Imformation listed below The direct seeding NF6000 is designed and manufactured in Albany, Western Australia... It comes fitted with a PJ Green 3200LT split bin that is mounted on the frame With a towing height of 3.4m and a transport width of 3.5m it can easily be moved between farms without the need for a vehicle pilot Navigating narrow gateways and between paddocks is made efficient because of its narrow transport width and quick folding time 2 x 500 mm flotation tyres provide good support and stability through varying soil types The units are spread over two ranks which enables the machine to achieve narrow row spacings while providing sufficient space to carry out maintenance Spacings can go as low as 10 across one rank which means as low as 5 spacings for a two-rank machine The frame is built from 9mm RHS and can be weighted internally to ensure penetration into tight soil types if dry sowing

17.01.2022 SCF in conjunction with members Brad and Tracy Wooldridge held a successful field walk at Brad and Tracy's Kalgan property on Friday July 31. Over 50 enthusias...tic growers and ag industry reps attended the afternoon, which featured static machinery displays from Castle Drilling Co., live demonstrations of the Rocks Gone Pty Ltd Reefinator and Direct Seeding and Harvesting Equipment pasture seeding and a look at some of the feed management strategies implemented on the farm. Mixed farmers Brad & Tracy purchased the 240 hectare property near Albany in 2017 to mitigate production risk against their 500-hectare property in Arthur River. In 2017, the land in Albany cost a similar amount to Arthur River yet had double the annual rainfall (Arthur River 400mm). However, the most recent five seasons at Arthur River have only produced 200mm or less growing season rainfall vs Kalgan River with 800mm. The savvy investment has not been all smooth sailing for Brad and Tracy with challenges coming thick and fast from low-pH soils, rough and rocky paddocks, snails, double gees, inkweed, thistles, rushes, foxes, and estrogenic clovers. The listed constraints are all hindering pasture production, but which are most important to mitigate first? Brad and Tracy discussed some of the lessons learned over this period to help other producers and there was plenty of discussion on different approaches to solve the problems presented. Brad and Tracy’s overall aim is to increase the pasture/fodder production on the property, which they believe is currently well below the rainfall potential. SCF are also running an MLA Producer Demonstration Site on the Kalgan property for a project titled ‘Alternative Forage Crops for Southern WA’. The project aims to increase the awareness and adoption of forage crops like 970 canola, Pallaton Raphno, oats and sorghum in the high rainfall zone. At this field walk, we saw Brad’s forage crop of 970 canola and oats, which is ready to be grazed by ewes with lambs at foot. The day was completed with a sundowner drinks and bbq for all to enjoy. Many thanks to Elders for the loan of their field day BBQ trailer and CSBP Fertilisers Albany for supplying refreshments. Huge thanks to Brad and Tracy Wooldridge themselves for hosting us all for the afternoon.

17.01.2022 Early order = Early Delivery We are really getting the benefit of manufacturing frames and carrying so much stock when it comes to being able to deliver on time. All off to new homes in the next couple of weeks.

16.01.2022 2021 Build Spots are now full till the 1st of April, the #gentopener has sold out before Xmas. The staff are going to take a well earned 17 day break before we come back for 12 intense weeks to start off the new year. Finished on a good note with a white board session to

16.01.2022 Another day working with Stirlings to Coast Farmers for some trials out near Kendenup. Metering was made easy with the SeedMaster Ultrapro system. We were also running with a Raven Precision monitor

16.01.2022 Recently we collaborated with Bell Pasture Seeds & CSBP Fertilisers to plant a summer grazing pasture for the Albany Sharks Football & Sporting Club community cows program. Planted on the 18th of September, the 7 ha paddock was sown with a mix of oats 10kg/ chicory 3kg/ Lucerene 10kg and launched out of the ground with assistance of 100kg AgFlow Manganese provided by fellow sharks member and CSBP regional manager Michael O'Dea. This paddock will be grazed in March 2021 and w...e are hoping to see some spectacular results both in food on offer and also the weight gain for the cows come Autumn. The story of the Albany sharks is a very unique one. Having won only two senior games in the 11 year history of the club, it goes without saying that they have faced some tough times. A short video covering the full story of the football club was created by ABC Great Southern and can be watched here - https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=772084993363271 The cows initiative is part of a massive push to secure financial stability and build community spirit amongst one of the youngest country football clubs in Western Australia.
