Subterranean clover gains in Western Plains pasture shift
A six year shift in Mininera Tutyoon Lake Folac and Willaura districts sees wheat replaced by subterranean clover and perennial ryegrass. Heavy pea mite damage and waterlogging threaten crops but clover and ryegrass boosts pasture value, aiding fat lamb and wool production. Controls include burning, fallowing, dusts, and careful ploughing, with trials ongoing and widespread adoption of clover on farms near the Derpinalum Maroona railway line.

Avoid using the choke in warm weather and when the engine still holds heat from prior runs.
