A summary of four years of +/- stubble grazingand +/- winter grazing on yeild, soil structure and establishment of subsequent crops.
A draft summary of three years of stubble grazing assessment. Work is currently underway in all G&G3 regions to validate the benchmarks.
This guide has been designed to assist farmers to accurately assess stubble cover levels over the critical December to June period.
MSF Grain & Graze farmer focus groups identified 10 areas of opportunity for better integration of crop and livestock enterprises in the Mallee. These issues are echoed in other low-medium rainfall mixed systems.
Understanding livestock grazing behaviour in large Mallee paddocks
Yorke Peninsula farmers, Scott and Sue Ramsey discuss their move back into livestock after many years of continuous cropping and direct drilling to control high populations of brome and ryegrass.
Case study of Mid North SA farmer Tom Hawker and his thoughts on grazing crops.
There has been a push over the last few years to get sheep farmers to adopt pregnancy scanning for multiple bearing ewes rather than just 'wet and dry'. While many farmers have adopted this practice, the full benefits only appear when twin bearing ewes are seperated from single bearing ewes and fed according to their requirements.

This booklet captures the latest information around grazing crops from the Grain and Graze program. It explores the opportunities and potential downsides of grazing winter crops, agronomy at the paddock scale and tips and tricks to successful grazing. There is also commentary on weeds, soil structure, animal health and crop disease issues.
A summary of 8 years of grazing vs no grazing +/- high inputs and the impacts on production, mineral N and soil organic carbon.
Demonstrations of grazing barley and vetch on a property at Lock, Eyre Peninsula
The practice of grazing winter crops is often used in mixed farming systems as an opportunistic feed source rather than a regular annual feed supply, thus suitable cereal varieties have habitually been referred to as dual purpose, signifying they are fit for both grazing and grain uses.
Summary of 2015 Southern Australian trials investigating the mechanisms that lead to grain yield loss after grazing.
Research article on grazing wheat and impact on yield conducted on Eyre Peninsula, Mid North SA, Wimmera Mallee VIC and Southern VIC.
