Decision making for drought: Making better decisions to prepare for drought in Limestone Coast farming businesses
Lead organisation: MacKillop Farm Management Group
Hub members and partners involved: Pinion
Project Category: Hub Projects
Project summary: 

‘Decision making for drought’ will demonstrate relevant existing research in cropping and grazing systems in the Limestone Coast, with the aim to increase adoption of research in local farming businesses. Workshops and some demonstrations will be conducted, in collaboration
with relevant researchers and advisors, to localise results and provide regional context to research that has either been conducted elsewhere or conducted previously in the region.

The project will consist of 3 key activities:

  1. Livestock Cost of Production workshop
  2. Nitrogen Management workshop
  3. “Dry Feed to Dollars” workshop and demonstration sites

Together, these four activities form a well-rounded approach to equipping farmers with the knowledge, tools, and collaborative support necessary to navigate the challenges of drought and maintain the productivity and profitability of their farming operations. This integrated
program aims to strengthen the overall resilience of the farming community in the long term.
