24.01.2022 Plan your Feed Demand. With the BOM forecasting, the potential of drier than average conditions in the next 3 months having a feed plan and making the most of the moisture to grow as much homegrown feed as possible is a good strategy. Come along to Parkinsons family farm on Monday the 27 August to listen to David Wisewald discuss the seasonal outlook, Summer cropping options, and Top Fodder silage concepts. Jessica Harmsworth and Jessica Revell from Coprice will talk about the farm feed budgeting tool and a grains forecast.
