More than 115 people attended the Grain & Graze field days held on three properties in the Border Rivers' catchment from March 31 to April 2, to learn more about growing productive, persistent and profitable pastures while better managing natural resources.

At mixed farming enterprises, 'Maneroo', Terry Hie Hie, 'Bullala', Warialda and 'Kioma', Toobeah, farmers and graziers heard first-hand about research, development and extension projects investigating the benefits and constraints of the mixed farming system.

Grain & Graze regional coordinator Kathryn Taylor said the Roadshow provided an opportunity to promote some of the Grain & Graze program highlights.

"Topics covered included pasture selection, establishment and management for persistence, biodiversity, soils and landscapes, grazing cereal crops and stubbles, the complexities of risk in mixed farming systems, feedbase and livestock management - including the use of Meat and Livestock Australia's (MLA) Feed Demand Calculator," Ms Taylor said.

Mixed farmer Charlie Clark of Benelawin, 65kms north west of Goondiwindi, who attended the Roadshow at Kioma, Toobeah, said he appreciated the pasture information and that it was good to have a mixed farming field day, rather than just cropping.

"We basically went along for background information and came away with some interesting ideas that we'll follow up," Mr Clark said.
