In this episode we talk to David Schubert, Ag Consultant with Dodgshun Medlin, who has been working on a novel pasture seeding demonstration, north of Lameroo on behalf of Mallee Sustainable Farming. 

David talks about the key features and results of the demo that was first established in 2018 by sowing a hard seeded species sown with a crop with emergence expected in the following year. This was compared to sowing an annual medic variety in 2020. Regeneration of both treatments was also compared.

The Dryland Legume Pasture Systems (DLPS) project aims to boost profit and reduce risk in medium and low rainfall areas by developing recently discovered pasture legumes together with innovative management techniques that benefit animal and crop production and farm logistics.

This project is a five year Rural R&D for Profit funded project supported by GRDC, MLA and AWI; and involving Murdoch University, CSIRO, SARDI, DPIRD; Charles Sturt University and grower groups including MSF.
