Farming systems group Riverine Plains will hold a series of farm walks in northern Victoria and the southern Riverina on August 1 and 2.
The walks will be held at Coreen, Henty, Yarrawonga and Dookie and will focus on stubble management.
“In our region, farmers are continually challenged by how best to deal with the volumes of stubble produced when growing cereal crops,” said Riverine Plains research and extension officer, Cassandra Schefe.
“While retaining stubble has many benefits, heavy stubble loads can cause issues with equipment, and the emergence and vigour of the following years’ crop can be compromised if stubble isn’t managed effectively” she said.
