A tough season needs an action plan

Grain growers attending this year’s Henty Field days had the opportunity to hear timely advice from specialists such as NSW DPI’s southern pastures program leader Nigel Phillips.

Nigel was one of four speakers at the GRDC NSW DPI Tough Season Questions Answered forum, held as part of the field days.

After addressing the forum Nigel Phillips recorded this podcast and summarised the messages he delivered. His key message was to have an action plan, follow it through and don’t regret making a choice.

Nigel also advised growers to think about options. Just because a crop has been impacted by drought or a frost event it doesn’t mean the crop is worthless. These crops can still be a valuable source of livestock feed, high in energy and protein.
