Experimenting at home
Experimenting at home. Walking the talk to find out what our farmers and graziers are facing when growing a Multi Species Mix.

4 way cash crops
Often MS mixes are used as cover crops. Martin and Darren are working on the CASH crop aspect of growing a Multi Species and it is proving to be a profitable success.

High rainfall area.
High rainfall and exceptional spring/summer growth rate means possibilities are endless. To keep up with the production of forage don’t feel that hay making is a bad thing. In fact take advantage of the phenomenon.
Russell’s exceptional Multi Species trial
Both conditions and rainfall were perfect for Russell’s first MS crop. This was a cover crop to improve the soil and although the radish and turnips were a success. This should have been grazed to produce a form of cash crop and utilise the turnips as a form of fodder rather than clogging up the roller crimper.

Farming Pathways
A day with Dr Christine Jones in WA, Australia.
When it comes to answering the seed grading questions, DrCJ asks Martin to talk about what he has observed and is producing on-farm. His experience as a seed grader makes him an ideal person to answer these questions.
