KEEP YOUR GROUND COVERED – STOCKTAKE WORKSHOP
A Stocktake workshop is to be held in Marlborough on March 16th (Venue yet to be announced). Stocktake is a monitoring package that ‘takes stock’ of your grazing resources and points to improved management decisions. This helps to keep the ground covered and as a result is a key event in our “Six Best Things” campaign to protect the Fitzroy River. Discounts will be offered to FRCC members and VLMA project participants.
The Stocktake workshop is a paddock scale land condition monitoring and management package.
It has been developed to provide grazing land managers with a practical, systematic way to:
· Assess land condition and long term carrying capacity,
· calculate short term forage budgets and,
· record and store monitoring data.
