In this episode, Al & Juddy explore the importance of paddock rotations and long term planning in farming systems.

They outline the potential of a 7-10 year plan, ranging from grass-to-grass transitions to more complex systems that incorporate crops like fodder beet, kale, and lucerne.

These planned cropping cycles can stack yields, tackle hard-to-kill weeds, and streamline farm management.

No matter your farm type, this discussion offers valuable insights into transforming unproductive paddocks and improving overall efficiency with forward thinking.

“Stacking yields in a well designed rotation allows you to maximise productivity and capture more feed across different seasons, ultimately making the best use of your land.’ – Allister Moorhead
