As the dust settles on the 2024 harvest, farmers are analyzing yield data to evaluate the impacts of drought and frosty conditions on their crops. With this information in hand, it’s the perfect time to assess nutrient removal from grain or hay production and plan next season’s fertiliser program more effectively.
In this blog, we share insights from Sean Mason of Agronomy Solutions, who discusses the nutrient dynamics of hay versus grain production, the often-overlooked role of potassium, and strategies like soil testing and variable rate technology to optimise input efficiency. Whether you’re dealing with nutrient loss from hay cutting or planning for soil health in 2025, this post offers practical advice to help balance productivity and sustainability.

For years, farmers have been eagerly awaiting advancements in virtual fencing technology, hoping to revolutionise livestock management and eliminate the need for traditional fences. This transformative technology promises to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance environmental sustainability. But the big question remains: How much closer are we to seeing virtual fencing in a commercial setting, especially for sheep?
In the quest for better crop establishment and resilience in challenging environments, work continues to explore the potential of long coleoptile varieties. This innovation could provide another tool in tool kit for improving crop establishment outcomes the Mallee region and beyond.
Farming in the Mallee region presents unique challenges, particularly due to high erosion risks and non-wetting sands. Traditional soil amelioration methods often exacerbate these problems, leaving fields vulnerable to wind erosion. However, a new soil amelioration method, strip amelioration, is emerging as a promising solution to fixing these sandy soils issues.

Imagine a future where waiting for the autumn break is no longer a bottleneck for crop germination. Enter long coleoptile wheat varieties, presenting a unique opportunity for growers to establish a crop even when the weather seems uncooperative. These wheat varieties, with their elongated coleoptiles, have the potential to germinate from deeper within the soil, tapping into residual summer moisture and providing a lifeline for farmers in dry years.
Can grain legumes still perform with a late start? In [...]
After an extended dry period with no significant rain, farmers in the Mallee region are facing the challenge of a late autumn break. With winter fast approaching, you might be wondering if legumes can still provide the benefits you’re looking for.
The most critical thing with a late start is to give the establishing seedling the best possible chance for success. Early growth in a late start is critical, so careful consideration should be given to protecting the seedling and ensuring minimum risk of checking, damaging, or stressing the young crop.
We are excited to introduce our new GRDC funded project titled "Optimising Weed Management Efficiency: Exploring Residual-Based Herbicides for Summer Fallow." This project is located at two sites in Wentworth, NSW.
The project will explore the use of residual-based herbicides, such as Overwatch® Herbicide, applied as a pre-emergent to aid with summer weed management. This innovative approach aims to provide farmers with effective tools to control weeds during the challenging summer months and the growing season, ultimately improving crop yields and sustainability.

This project aims to build on the information presented and the grower activities at VRT workshops where all participants selected a paddock on their own property and started to use public satellite NDVI data to establish their own soil zones to begin the VRT journey.
Variable Rate Technology (VRT) holds immense promise for farmers, but several barriers have hindered its widespread adoption. Let's take a closer look at some of the key obstacles:
This project aims to provide “the why” behind the decisions SA farmers need to make in relation to adopting practices to address the range of SA specific soils characteristics, soil biology, subsoil constraints, soil nutrition dynamics, etc. It will do this by posing a series of specific questions about soils from an on-farm management perspective.
Mallee Sustainable Farming has been busy delivering the Mallee CMA’s latest forage shrubs project over the past few months, with funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.
Erosion is a problem that plagues agricultural lands all over the world. In particular, farmers in the Mallee region of Australia face the constant challenge of preventing soil from being carried away by the wind.
Peer-to-peer learning, also known as collaborative learning, has emerged as a powerful method to enhance the learning experience for individuals.

Groundcover is the unsung hero of the farming world, providing countless benefits such as improving rainfall infiltration, reducing runoff, and lowering erosion risk. But as anyone who has ever battled drought knows, maintaining groundcover can be a real challenge.
In a recent announcement of successful project grant applications funded through the Federal Government’s Future Drought Fund (FDF), Mallee Sustainable Farming featured as one of the successful funding recipients.
This project will demonstrate, evaluate, and communicate innovative farming practices to low rainfall farmers in the tri-state Mallee and Eyre Peninsula regions to enable them to implement farming systems that maintain ground cover resilient to the pressures imposed by climate variability and management actions.
In our latest episode, we catch up with Adama Market [...]
The project that brought you Mallee Sandy Soils Masterclass events [...]
Improve the capacity of farmers in the low rainfall Mallee and Northern Yorke region to correctly diagnose underlying constraints that limit the productivity of sandy soils, to select the most appropriate strategy or combination of strategies to ameliorate the soil constraints present, and to map soil constraint data at a paddock scale to better target costly amelioration activities.
This project will demonstrate farmer ready management practices that break the cycle of saline land degradation exacerbated by very dry or drought conditions. Two key drivers of soil salinity will be addressed - dry saline land and Mallee seeps that cause lost production in low rainfall broadacre mixed farming landscapes.
This project has been funded to help Mallee farmers tackle wind erosion with practical ways of improving and maintaining groundcover on erosion-prone soils.
There are two main themes in the project:
1. Promoting cropping practices that improve crop performance and leave more ground cover
2. Promoting forage shrubs and livestock containment designs to broaden the livestock feedbase and protect groundcover on vulnerable soils.
MSF with the support of Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) is on a mission to close the knowledge gap around feed and nutrition in low rainfall zones.

Trials at Walpeup (VIC Mallee) and Parrakie (SA Mallee) are putting a range of ripping tines, accessories and delving tines to the test on compacted deep sands. By quantifying draft force and soil loosening, researchers can calculate the efficiency of ripping tines and other soil amelioration tools. Roughly, the more soil loosened for every unit of draft force, the more efficient the equipment is.
