Upcoming webinars: Tackling veg management laws; utilising the upgraded Long Paddock website

A new research trial seeking to understand how long distance rail transport affects the eating quality of beef could potentially open up new Meat Standards Australia pathways to slaughter for northern beef producers.

An upcoming NSWDPI-hosted webinar will explore options for producers faced with salvaging frost-affected or drought-affected crops. Senior research officer John Piltz will discuss support tools to help in the decision making process, management required to minimise hay losses from crops and maximise feed quality for livestock, and how to minimise the risk of shed fires due to high crop sugar content.
