22.01.2022 New DairyPod episode https://bit.ly/3jelma8 How this farmer makes an EBIT of $3.50 per kg of milk solids In a tough year, Justin Walsh made Earnings Before Income and Tax (EBIT) of more than $3.50 per kg of milk solids or around $2000 per cow.... It’s an amazing result - and even more so when you consider Justin put in less work last year than he ever has before. There’s no silver bullet behind Justin’s success. Instead, he explains how he picks the brains of good farmers, has reassessed his farm business to get the big settings right and looks for the source of problems, rather than continually dealing with the results. DairyNSW’s Greg Duncan visited Justin on his South Coast farm near Nowra to find out how this young farmer is working less and making more money.

17.01.2022 Maintaining your soil moisture within the Readily Available Water (RAW) zone enables plants to easily access water to grow. Accurately measuring the soil moisture allows irrigation to be adjusted accordingly. This knowledge can assist farmers to decide when to irrigate, either at the start of a season or scheduling irrigations throughout the season. The Smarter Irrigation for Profit project aims to identify strategies and technologies that can help farmers ensure their irri...gation keeps their soil within the Readily Available Water (RAW) zone to increase yields and profit.
