Drought Hardy Tropical Pastures – Getting it Right in the Upper Hunter
Embark on a paddock tour of tropical grass pastures across the Upper Hunter filmed in April 2021 with Clydsdale Rural for the Hunter LLS Producer Dinners. Hear direct from local farm managers at Ellerston, Gundy and Scone how these hardy species have bounced back post-drought. Tropical varieties have outperformed traditional temperate pastures in drought tolerance and do well on hard western-facing slopes and lighter country, producing a bulk of feed on even a light shower. Get tips on how to establish and manage tropical paddock mixes from this virtual field day tour. For more information on drought planning and pasture management contact Hunter LLS Ag Extension team on 1300 795 299.
