  Flexible Farming Systems: Faba Beans

  Apr 12, 202513 minS1

  <p>This project aims to demonstrate flexible farming systems management including agronomic techniques that allow us to react to seasonal forecasting and variability. The goal is to create a flexible irrigated farming system that can react to an un-forecasted poor season by adjusting inputs or targets to deliver the greatest profitability; plan for a forecasted poor season by adopting practices to reduce the risk of failed crops; and when seasons are good, maximise production to allow for the building of cash and fodder reserves.</p> <p>Faba beans was one of the four crops to be sown as part of...

  Flexible Farming Systems: Canola management strategies

  Apr 3, 202514 minS1

  <p>The demonstration compared different management strategies that could assist in preparing for and responding to drought, including:</p> <p>-           Maximise production when irrigation water is available to enable building of cash reserves</p> <p>-           Flexible farming, where we "pull the pin” to use less irrigation water and harvest crops as fodder to enable the building of on farm fodder reserves or its cash sale.</p> <p>This project is supported by funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.</p> <p>This project is a result of a successful application to the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund's - Extensions and Ado...
