Our Whole farm planning service, provides direction into the future, this unique service takes into consideration the goals and lifestyle of our clients. Though this program we set out crop rotations, outline order of operations ensuring efficiency, risk management strategies and integrated weed management programs. Of course no season is the same, as advisors we understand this, and subsequently tailor our programs to be flexible in dealing with change.
Soil heath forms the foundation of our agricultural production, if our soil is poor and run down, our crops will be poor and run down. That’s why at the Riverina cooperative we provide soil sampling and analyse. From that information we build a strategic soil amelioration and fertility plan. This ensures the application of soil amelioration or fertilisers products is best targeted at meeting plant demands, saving you money.
With recent weather conditions and skyrocketing grain prices, understanding animal requirements has never been so important to maximising profits. Our Agronomist offer feed sampling and analysis options that help us match feed budgets to animal demand. This limits wastage and lifts returns on animals. The agronomy team will help with grazing management and pasture production, growing more feed for your animals.
Through the growing season our agronomists are experts is crop protection. We provide regular and timely visitations, ensuring your crops stay on track and profitability is maximised. In these visits, we assess weed, disease, fungus and environmental factors that influence your crops performance. From this information we can provide up-to-date recommendations to best meet our client’s expectations of their crop. Our keen observations will pick up abnormities across paddocks, such as potential herbicide resistance plants that need additional analysis or timing of nutrient application.
The extension of scientific information is critical to increase crop or animal yields and subsequently your profits. While our agronomist are trained to the highest level, they are consistently learning the most up to date information and technology available.
