The past couple of months has seen the release of continued strong milk prices giving continued confidence to the industry going into a new season.
With it we have also endured wetter conditions throughout the winter months adding challenges in managing cell counts, grazing areas, crops and animal health — the flip side being there remains full catchments and plenty of water for the upcoming irrigation season.
In this edition of Dairy News we highlight information to support your business operations regarding managing wet soils and our newly revamped Cups On Cups Off course, renamed Milking Mastitis Management – CoCo 2.0.
Murray Dairy have formulated their annual operating plan for the year which provides an outline of key investments in research, development and extension offerings for dairy businesses in the region.
This includes national Dairy Australia programs such as Our Farm Our Plan, Workforce Attraction, Employment Basics, Nutrition Fundamentals, Advanced Nutrition and Milking Mastitis Management – CoCo 2.0, just to name a few, as well as an exciting three-year cropping research investment in partnership with Gardiner Foundation and Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries.
