Pasture Improvement Drives NSW Land Use Shifts
The Annual Report of the Department of Agriculture notes continued activity in establishing sown pastures in 138-39. Pastoralists and farmers press for more grassland management instruction as fertiliser topdressing rose by nearly a quarter million acres from the prior year. The report links pasture improvement to higher carrying capacity and soil health, contrasting it with wheat cropping which harms soil, and says many landholders now plan to invest to maximise property potential. Free literature on pasture topics is available from the Department of Agriculture.
