2013 – 14 Chairman’s Report – Oliver Cay

After last year’s significant external funding and extension changes, MFS has emerged more mature with the

same focus on sustainable productive farming. In any changing environment there are opportunities to be had

and MFS has been able to form stronger relationships with all involved in research, development and

extension on the Monaro.

Of particular note has been our ability to work through the partnership with SE LLS (Local Land Services). SE

LLS have provided financial security and in return we are working through making our communication more

professional and continue to service farm businesses that are willing and able to stay at the forefront of

agriculture. MFS is looking forward to delivering the contractual arrangements worked out with Matt De Jongh,

Luke Pope and Rebecca Bradley for the remainder of the financial year. We then hope to sign a longer term

contract that gives both organisations increased stability.

Other partnerships MFS are proud of strengthening in the past year have been:

Tablelands Farming Systems (TFS), who are a similar producer group based in the Goulburn,

Crookwell area. Five of their members have joined our benchmarking group to share information and

ideas about what makes a resilient farm business. I am confident our relationship will extend into

other areas and be increasingly important.

Berridale Ag Bureau are a producer group that have been operating on the Monaro for decades and

this was the first year MFS has been able to directly work with them. The two producer groups held

an animal health day in Cooma that was well attended and we hope to work together again in the

future.

MFS has been active with the Landcare network. We teamed up with Southern Rivers Interstate

Landcare and Upper Snowy to help bring Lyne Sykes to Bombala and Cooma. Recognising and

strengthening the human side to farm productivity is a crucial part of the triple bottom line. Holbrook

Landcare continues to be involved with the soils club data base and with more money being

contributed to upgrades we will all benefit.

Holmes Sackett is helping bring Benchmarking back to the Monaro. In the past the Monaro was known

for its Boyce Benchmarking Group and by joining forces with Holmes Sackett I am confident the MFS

group will become a long term project that will give direction to individual farmers, the region and the

industry.

Graz Prophet (Doug Alcock) continues as one of our main contractors. His ability to ask the hard

question of how farm system changes interact with each other gives businesses the confidence to

make changes. Of note was taking the genetic comparison from Knockalong and turning it into a farm

system comparison.

Our relationship with Richard Simpson continues with Soils Club being the single most important

project for members. Richard and Nancy have been working hard at delivering a more user friendly

data base.

MS&A cover all the bases from the board to on ground advice. With the recent funding changes MFS

has benefitted from Mike’s experience in governance.

In an effort to engage a wider range of productive farmers on the Monaro and give better service to our

members, I look forward to seeing the MFS website rolled out this year. It has been a big effort by all involved.

Nancy has put in an extra human effort to continue the progress and special thanks is also needed for

Denham Williams, Darryl Butler and LLS.

This year’s board succession is Jono Forrest coming in for Chris Blencowe. Chris has well advised MFS on

finances for the past five years and leaves the organisation in a strong position. Thank you Chris for all your

hard work.

Mike Stephens and Phil Graham are staying with us but also need a special thank you as they keep the ship in

order. Whilst it is up to the members to come up with ideas it is very important MFS has the overarching

governance and professionalism that the Industry board members bring.

Project Reports

MFS Project 08-1 - Grass Gro – Seasonal Outlooks

Project Leader: Oliver Cay Project Manager: Nancy Spoljaric Project Collaborators: Doug Alcock (Graz Prophet Consulting) Project Funders: MFS

GrassGro® modeling – Seasonal Outlooks

MFS has a contractual arrangement with Doug to continue presenting “seasonal outlooks” at strategic decision

making times of the year. These include three annual tactical projections per year: May, September and

December to cover the autumn / early winter period, the early spring period and the summer period. Each

seasonal outlook will be a written report and one with a presentation at an MFS event.

Due to the capacity of GrassGro® modelling to incorporate the whole farm system, this type of analysis will

continue to be firmly integrated into the majority of our project reporting and presentations especially in the

area of enterprise analysis, seasonal outlooks and the wether trial. Coupled with the Mecardo market analysis

data input, this will ensure our evaluation / outcome reporting is of the highest accuracy and quality.

It is hoped with a re-allocation of project funding, MFS is able to purchase a number of soil moisture probes to

be installed on the three main soil types of the Monaro (basalt, granite and shale). This will enable another

level of accuracy to be built into the seasonal outlook projections.

MFS Project 10-6 Monaro Farming Systems Genetic Comparison Trial Project Leader: Alan McGufficke Project Manager: Nancy Spoljaric Project Funder: MFS with support from Gordon Litchfield Wool Project Collaborators: Rowan Wright, Doug Alcock (GrazProphet) & Luke Pope (SE LLS), Phil Graham

(NSW DPI) and Matthew Lieschke (SE LLS) The MFS wether trial includes 24 teams of 15 wethers from the following regions; (7) from the Yass, Bookham,

Crookwell region, and seventeen (17) teams originating from the Nimmitabel, Bombala, Jindabyne, Cooma,

Bungarby, Berridale and Jerangle regions. The trial is now in its third and final year of completion.

The MFS Genetic Evaluation Trial aims to provide participant wool growers with an objective measurement as

to where their current commercial flock is positioned in genetic terms in relation to the Industry benchmark.

Wether trials enable wool growers to critically assess where they are heading in terms of breeding objectives

and genetic gains and what their potential may be. Without these trials which gather valid measurements of

economic traits, it is hard for wool growers to know exactly where they stand and what genetic gains are

achievable.

Trial objectives include evaluation of economic performance measuring traits including FD, GFW, yield,

bodyweight, condition / fat score and carcass yield over a three year period. The 1st shearing took place on

October the 16th 2012, the 2nd shearing on the 14th October 2013 and the third and final shearing is scheduled

for the 20th October 2014.

The third and final instalment of $1000 was donated this year to the local charity, the Monaro Education

Foundation (MEF) (total of $3,000 over a three year period).

While wether trials undoubtedly establish bloodline performance for wool production as well as mature size

characteristics they do not put this into the context of their impact in commercial flock structures.

Monaro Farming Systems has sought to overcome this shortcoming of wether trials through the use of

modelling, which can incorporate and combine data, not just from the animal but also soil, pasture and climate,

giving the ability to compare genetic performance within various grazing systems.

In 2013, MFS engaged Doug Alcock to impose a range of the bloodlines from the wether trial in a “benchmark”

GrassGro® farm system to compare them in the context of typical Monaro merino breeding enterprise’s and

grazing typical Monaro pastures. By doing this the relative contribution of genetics for wool production, growth

and reproduction can be included and compared in terms of overall farm profit.

Comments from Alan McGufficke (Project Leader)

Special thanks to Rowan Wright for allowing the wethers to be run on his property ‘Knockalong’, Delegate.

Thanks to NSW DPI, Phil Graham for his invaluable assistance at mid side sampling and shearing each year

and the on-going sponsorship by Gordon Litchfield Wool and Gallagher for the supply of their auto-drafter.

The Wool Seminar in October 2013 included AWI representative Jimmy Jackson, a GrassGro Presentation by

Doug Alcock titled ‘The Value of Good Genetics on Farm’ and results of trial and a lice talk by Phil Graham.

Doug Alcock used this information from the second shearing using six of the commercial teams, to represent

bloodlines (ram breeding flocks excluded).

Conclusion:-

Wool genetics are still paramount to profit on the Monaro (both GFW and micron).

Be careful interpreting your wool : meat ratio.

If you want growth focus on early growth with moderate mature size.

There is more environment than genetics in flocks with high weaning rates.

Get genetics, pastures and stocking rate right to maximize sustainable PROFIT.

From the 2013 shearing data there was a variation of:

$25.91 per DSE $207.31 per ha at 8 DSE/ha

MFS Project 10-7 - Soil Club – whole farm soil fertility management Project Leader: Angus Hobson Project Manager: Nancy Spoljaric Project Funder: MLA – Producer Demonstration Site, Woolworths / Landcare Australia, MFS Project Collaborators: Richard Simpson (CSIRO), Luke Pope (SE LLS) Background Monaro Farming Systems launched its “Soil Club” in 2010, with 60-70 producers, representing 43 farm

businesses, each year collecting soil samples and sending a bulk submission to be analysed in the lab and

interpreted and discussed in a group setting by Richard Simpson, CSIRO [Senior Principle Research Scientist

in pasture systems agronomy]. Richard has been a mentor for the group since its conception, helping

producers firstly recognise the inherent nutrient deficiencies on the three main soil types of the Monaro, map

paddock nutrient profile histories then identify individual paddock fertility goals and understand how regular soil

analysis can help achieve production targets.

The soil clubs goal reflects producers desire to identify optimum fertility in highly variable soils to improve

productivity. A survey of individual MFS members has demonstrated how 80% of soil club members have

changed management strategies in response to their involvement in the club, some have applied less fertilizer

while others have increased applications but are now more strategic.

In Oct 2013, MFS was able to again offer 5 free soil tests while encouraging members to submit above the five

to maintain paddock soil test records over several years. The MFS soils club has now resulted in a data base

of 1055 Monaro soil tests with 680 paddocks tested and engaging 55 farm businesses.

The MFS data base created by CSIRO is a manageable way of collating and storing MFS soil test data, as

well as an efficient and rapid way of extracting soil test information and individual paddock history or farm

reports. Currently MFS is in consultation with CSIRO to develop enhancements for the data base to further

increase the value to producers. With financial support from SE LLS, these enhancements are currently

underway and will enable individual producers to customise reports by paddock or year, add and store soil test

results at any time as well as paddock descriptive data and fertiliser applications, generate graphs showing

critical soil fertility levels against targets and/or in parallel with fertiliser inputs or stocking rates.

MFS has also joined forces with Holbrook Landcare and Tablelands Farming Systems to share the use of the

data-base and expand its capabilities for the longer term.

2014 will be the fifth year of an annual bulk soil testing program. MFS with support from SE LLS is able to

once again offer five free soil tests per farm business and hopes this will be an incentive to encourage other

producers on the Monaro to “join the club”.

Results from the 2013 Soils Club Presentation – Richard Simpson, CSIRO

The cumulative results over the last four (4) years are as follows;

On the basalt soils, 20% are below optimum for P, 80% are below optimum for S and 20% of soils are P & S

deficient. There is adequate to high K levels.

On the granite soils, 60% are below optimum for P, 80% below optimum for S and 25% are below optimum for

K. 55% are P & S deficient and 25% are P, S and K deficient.

On the shale soils, 80% are below optimum for P, 80% below optimum for S and 50% are below optimum for

K. 70% are P&S deficient and 35% are P, S & K deficient.

MFS Project 11-10 MFS Agricultural Traineeships Initiative (on-going) Project Leaders: Craig and Susan Mitchell Project Collaborators: MEGT, ATEL, MFS Host Producers, Nancy Spoljaric Project Funder: MFS, NSW Farmers (Cooma Branch), RB Sellars, AWI, Regional Development

Australia Southern Inland (RDASI)

This year, thanks to the support from MFS host producers, MFS was able to once again run the traineeship

program. After a rigorous advertising and selection process, the two successful trainees offered the positons

were locals Cameron Johnson (Cooma) and Kate Connolly (Bredbo). This year 18 MFS member “hosts” are

taking part.

Kate is working in the Bombala district and Cameron is working in the Cooma district. For 2014, MFS has

opted to go back to using a group employer MEGT to make the employment a simple process and to have the

benefits of a more structured support system. Kate and Cameron are also undertaking a Cert III in Agriculture

which is all work-place assessed and delivered by the group trainer ATEL.

Kate is a delightful young girl (18) who has deferred University this year to gain some practical skills in

agriculture before commencing an Agricultural Science Degree in Wagga in 2015. Cameron applied for the

traineeship because he “wanted to gain practical skills and grab the opportunity to work on different places on

the Monaro”. Cameron hopes to stay on the Monaro next year and gain a full time job on a local property.

Both Cameron and Kate have been highly praised by all of their employers who applaud their work ethic,

reliability and diligent approach to work.

MFS hosts are becoming involved for several reasons including needing the extra help and the rewarding

experience of being able to help encourage young people to choose a career in Agriculture as well as teaching

skills and sharing their experiences with the younger generation.

MFS thanks NSW Farmers (Cooma Branch) for their donation of $1000 to support this traineeship program

as well as RB Sellars who have again donated two (2) work shirts and a winter work jumper to both trainees.

AWI also donated $1000 per trainee which was used to pay the trainees to attend the shearing school at

“Coolringdon” in May as well as an embroidered wool vest for each trainee worth over $300.

MFS supported Kate and Cameron to attend the working dog school at Bibbenluke in May and has helped buy

protective and practical clothing for the trainees as well as coordinate their work and training programs.

Thank you to Boyce (Gabrielle, Karen and Jono) who have once again provided meeting rooms for the

interviews and helped with advice on HR issues. Thank you also to Craig and Susan Mitchell who have again

put considerable effort into this program as well as Denham Williams, Malcolm Pearce and Henry

Bridgewater who conducted the interviews for the 2014 trainees.

Comments from Craig Mitchell (Project Leader)- “I have had the opportunity to work with both Kate and

Cameron this year. Both have been good workers and fun to have about. I find it really beneficial to my

thinking, having to explain and justify to our trainees what I do in my business. So that whilst we are all helping

the trainees learn to be successful farmers on the Monaro, I feel that they are also helping us, by making us

think through the decisions that we make in our businesses.”

MFS Project 12-11 Monaro farm management strategies and their effects on soil carbon

Project Leaders: MFS Project Manager Nancy Spoljaric Project Collaborators: NSW DPI (Susan Orgill, Paula Charnock), Doug Alcock (Graz Prophet consulting),

Luke Pope (SE LLS), Sydney University (Lachlan Ingram), MFS members Project Funder: Dept. of Agriculture – Carbon Farming Futures - Action on the Ground Program

Background MFS secured $276,989 through the Dept. of Agricultures “Action on the Ground” Program for a three year Project to measure soil carbon under different land use systems. The following systems are being compared in terms of soil carbon levels and potential changes, nutrient profiles, grazing practices and gross margins;

1. Pine plantation versus improved pasture versus cropping - Delegate Station

2. Cropping versus native pasture - Delegate Station & Corrowong

3. High fertiliser native pasture versus low fertiliser native pasture - Idaho, Bungarby

4. Limed improved pasture versus un-limed – Springvale, Mila

5. Aspect, west versus east facing slope –– Quinburra, Craigie

6. Pasture Age, 40yr old versus 5yr old phalaris pasture – Sth Bukalong, Bombala The main focus areas for the project include….

1. How does land management affect carbon stocks in the Monaro region?

2. Does minimum disturbance cropping influence carbon stocks over a 3 year period?

3. What is the effect of “parent material” ie. shale, deep granite and basalt (ascending texture, fertility and

structure) on carbon stocks in the Monaro region?

4. What influence does “aspect” have on carbon stocks in a system with optimum sequestration potential

ie. fertilised, permanent, perennial pasture system?

5. Does liming improved pasture increase C sequestration?

6. What effect does soil fertility have on C stocks in the Monaro region? Support current research work

that suggests fertility has a significant effect on C sequestration potential of soils.

7. What effect does pasture age have on the potential of a phalaris perennial pasture to sequester

carbon, does age create a “ceiling” on sequestration potentials?

Activities to date….

Activity 1

Survey 20 sites for soil C under different land use/management Including:

Within site-sampling grid variability, Carbon (C) stocks to 50cm, two sampling times 2012 and 2014.

Page | 21

Output:

o C stocks under different management and soil type scenarios

o Changes in soil C over time (graphs generated from 2012 sampling results)

Activity 2 Construct soil C variograms at selected sites Including:

Investigating soil C and P variation at the paddock scale, 5 sites, cores to 30 cm, transects and random points

Output:

o Protocols for sampling grid size and number of cores o Information on the main attributes influencing soil C at the paddock scale o Explore whether or not the variability is significant o Determine the scale at which variability occurs (sampling protocols) o Investigate what may be causing variability in soil C

Activity 3 [to be included for Final Report] Model changes in soil C fractions for a subset of these sites Including RothC modelling with local climate, production and management inputs.

Output o Understand the vulnerability of C to changes in management and climate

Findings to date

Strong positive correlation between C and N at all sites and depths and to some extent with P and S

Considerable variability in C, N, P, and S at the paddock scale

Majority of the variation in C in the surface 20cm

Highest C stocks for perennial pastures

Little difference in C with aspect and pasture age

Liming decreased soil C

Good seasons preceding sampling may be masking ‘treatment’ comparisons

Need to remember that this is a point in time sampling, T2 results will help with comparisons

Why is this important?

Importance of soil fertility

C sequestration is strongly related to soil fertility

We can influence available P and S to maximise biomass production and therefore OM supply to soil

Nitrogen primarily from legumes

Phosphorus and sulphur are commonly applied as mineral fertilisers to increase legume production,

function and nodulation (thereby N fixation)

But, this may come at a substantial cost… (i.e. you may not do it only for soil C)

Managing risk – how much could you increase soil C?

Soil C varies both spatially (variogram sites) but also temporally.

Any rapid gains in carbon can generally be lost just as rapidly

There is already a large background level of soil C in Monaro soils

Soil C is important for farmers because it influences water holding capacity, nutrient storage and

supply, soil microbial activity and buffers soil temperature fluctuations.

MLA Participatory Research Legume Project

MFS Project 14-12 Establishing persistent and productive new legumes Project Leaders: MFS Project Manager Nancy Spoljaric Project Collaborators: Doug Alcock (Graz Prophet consulting), Luke Pope (SE LLS), Belinda Hackney

(NSW DPI), MFS members Project Funder: Meat and Livestock Australia – Participatory R & D

Project Objectives

1. Identify the value of alternative legumes (based on establishment, persistence and production) compared

with traditional legumes used in the Monaro region of NSW

2. Evaluate the role of sowing time on legume performance and persistence.

3. Investigate how alternative legumes can be sown into existing pasture swards to increase pasture and

animal production, using alternative strategies.

Progress to date

Two trial sites have been selected and characterised with the assistance of Local Land Services (LLS)

agronomist Luke Pope. Both sites are on granite derived soils and are located near the townships of Cooma

(Gaerloch) and Bombala (Sth. Bukalong). Trial site 2 (“Gaerloch”, Cooma) was sprayed out on the 7th of April

and pegged and sown with treatments (7 pasture mixes, 3 replicates) on the 10th of April with the assistance of

a NSW DPI cone seeder and operator. Trial site 2 is being regularly monitored and the first assessment will

be conducted in Nov. 2014 following a grazing period in Sept. 2014.

Trial Site 2 was sown on the 10th of April as planned. Paddock preparation included;

Cultivation and summer fallowed;

Sprayed with 3L Glyphosate 450 and 100mL Fastac Duo on 7 April 2014.

The trial was sown into excellent soil moisture with 21 mm of rain falling during the week following sowing.

Soil Temperature at 10mm below surface was 17.5 C.

Proof of Concept of Lean Meat Yield and Eating Quality Producer Demonstration Sites

Project Funder: Meat & Livestock Australia

Project Collaborators: Nancy Spoljaric MFS

Background

For a long while now lamb consumer expectations have increased in alignment with increasing lamb prices to

purchase “value-for-money” lamb that is juicy, full of flavour and tender. Juiciness is strongly correlated with

intramuscular fat (IMF) and tenderness is correlated with an objective measurement of shear force. However

the more meat on a carcass, the less fat and the higher the lean meat yield (LMY) which is favored by

processors due to efficiency and economic gains during processing. Therefore in terms of profitability drivers,

producers have an incentive to grow lambs with more muscle and less fat.

However, genetic correlations between traits can often work against each other for example when selecting

sires for both eating quality (IMF) and profitability (LMY).

There is a strong genetic correlation between IMF and tenderness and also a strong correlation between high

LMY and low IMF. There is also a moderate correlation between increasing LMY and decreasing tenderness.

The challenge for producers over the next ten years is to increase LMY without sacrificing tenderness and

flavour which is the main motivation behind the implementation of these “proof of concept” producer

demonstration sites.

AI procedure at Cobana Shearing Shed, March 2013, Livestock Breeding Services (Michelle Humphries BVSc)

Summary

Processors are paying producers to produce a quality lamb carcass with high targets for lean meat yield (LMY)

and dressing percentages. To optimise profitability in their meat sheep enterprise, producers need to be able

to accurately select terminal sires that will produce progeny which perform in these desirable traits ie. high

lean meat yield carcasses, which still meet acceptable measurements for tenderness (less than 40N shear

force) and flavour (4-6% IMF (intra muscular fat).

This project is trialling, on-farm, the efficacy of research breeding values (RBVs) for lean meat yield (LMY) and

eating quality. It aims to demonstrate that the RBVs for LMY, tenderness (SF5) & intramuscular fat (IMF) can

be translated through the lamb supply chain thereby enabling greater selection of sires based on these RBVs

Page | 27

for the desirable traits. It also aims to validate research breeding values for LMY and EQ traits on-farm, in

multiple different environments and through multiple supply chains.

The overarching purpose of these projects is to deliver “proof of concept” for lean meat, eating quality and

human health attributes within major lamb and sheep meat supply chains by facilitating, empowering and

developing a common focus and normal trading mechanisms on these future key industry profit drivers right

along the supply chain.

Twenty Producer Demonstration Sites were established to demonstrate the impact new research breeding

values (RBVs) for lean meat yield (LMY) and eating quality, particularly intramuscular fat (IMF) and shear force

(SF5), will have on lamb production along the supply chain.

SE, New South Wales sheep and cattle producers (Brad & Lauren Yelds, “Cobana Pastoral”) agreed to

participate in the project and host a “proof-of-concept” site in southern NSW.

Three hundred and nine-teen (319), 1st cross ewes participated in the program and were randomly allocated to

8 terminal sire groups. The eight (8) terminal sire rams used at the Cobana site had high index’s for the breed

as well as favourable ASBVs for common traits such as WWT (weaning weights) & PWWT (post weaning

weights) etc appropriate for the breed. The difference between the rams was in the RBVs for LMY and eating

quality. The eight (8) rams selected had either high or low RBVs for LMY, tenderness (SF5), IMF, HCWT (hot

carcass weight) and/or dressing percentage (DP %).

A livestock schedule detailing AI and lambing timelines and ewe management was established and an

approximate slaughter date identified. The ewes were managed to LTEM guidelines.

All ewes were electronically tagged, weighed and condition scored (18th March 2013) as well as prepared for

AI. 319 ewes were AI over a two day period (20th and 21st of March) by Livestock Breeding Services (Michelle

Humphries BVSc). All details were electronically recorded using a Gallagher TSI data base software system.

The ewes (317) were pregnancy scanned on the 18th and 19th of June 2013 with a total count of 307 potential

lambs. Conception rates for the 8 sire groups ranged between 49% up to 72% with a high rate of twins in the

majority of groups (see table below).

The ewes commenced lambing around the 20th of August 2013 and marking and blood typing of the lambs

was conducted on the 20th of September 2013 to determine parentage.

Page | 28

Lambing percentage was 89.5% survival with 275 lambs weaned in November 2013 (average 35.1 kg). A

second weight on the 9th of December gave a group average of 40.6 kg. The lambs were slaughtered in two

groups; 55 lambs were slaughtered on the 16th of December 2013 (average weight of 49.5 kg) and 166 lambs

were slaughtered on the 30th of January (average weight 45.2kg). All lambs were slaughtered at Cootamundra

abattoir.

The survival and weaning rates of the progeny were very good and therefore this site was able to deliver the

required number of lambs to the abattoir for the carcass measurement and analysis. All ewes and lambs were

managed throughout the trial to LTEM guidelines.

The results from this site will go into the nationwide data pool to be analysed alongside results from all the

other terminal sire “proof-of-concept” sites.

An overview of the nationwide project as well as the local results was presented by Janelle Hocking-Edwards

to approx. 55 producers in Nimmitabel on Tues July 22nd.

Discussion / Conclusion

Due to the fact that the nationwide data set is not yet complete, no definitive conclusions can yet be made. It

is hoped that complete analysis will demonstrate that the significant differences between sires in RBVs can be

translated through to their progeny in carcass and eating quality traits.

It remains important for the Industry that when selecting rams, producers should consider the RBVs for eating

quality traits to make informed decisions and try to avoid rams which have very low RBVs for these traits.

However producers should still keep a focus on those RBVs that are important profit drivers for their individual

systems.

One of the limitations in the supply chain is the lack of accurate measurement technology in processing plants

which limits the amount of carcass measurement.

More research is needed into x-ray technology which will enable processors to measure IMF and LMY and pay

producers accordingly.

New Projects

MFS Benchmarking / Comparative Analysis Group Eighteen (18) farm businesses (including 3 from Tablelands Farming Systems) have agreed to participate in the MFS benchmarking initiative and have submitted their input sheets to Holmes & Sackett for the 2013/14 financial year.

This is a unique opportunity to benchmark business performance to help identify potential to increase overall farm productivity and explore business strengths and weaknesses. It gives a starting position to identify gaps and potential opportunities. Once the initial data inputs have been entered and analysed, the first group session will be held sometime in September or October 2014. The initial cost per farm business will be $580 + GST to receive their farm business Report and Ag Insights from Holmes & Sackett. MFS have received funding support from SE LLS for $15,000 to cover the cost of the next component of the project which is the group sessions which will be conducted by Holmes & Sackett.

MFS sees benchmarking as a key long term initiative that will help decide directions for future projects that will benefit sustainable, productive agriculture on the Monaro. “Producers looking to boost their productivity should start by analyzing their current business situation.”

“You have to understand where you are now before you can move in any other direction.”

“Once you’ve done the analysis you have to interpret the figures – you need to understand what the numbers

are telling you.”

Sandy McEachern – Holmes & Sackett Director

Top Pastures and Crop Group With the recent restructure of NSW DPI, SRCMA and LHPA into South East LLS, one of the new directives

was the need for the former Top Crop Group to operate within a more formal and structured framework. For

this reason the Top Crop Group will now operate as a sub membership of MFS under the new name of Top

Pasture and Crop Group (TPCG). The following points will apply to this group;

Membership cost will be $100 + GST pa or free with MFS membership ($350 + GST pa).

Membership will align with the MFS membership renewals in January each year.

TPCG and MFS renew membership in January so both are half price if you join and pay mid-year ie.

between June - July.

Current thinking is that the group will hold four (4) informal gatherings spread throughout the year.

These will be run and coordinated by Luke Pope in his role with SE LLS.

TPCG will have access to all past, present and future MFS pasture and cropping related projects.

TPCG members can also use the MFS Umbrella to apply for future funds to run relevant Projects and

to grow, coordinate and promote the group’s activities.

Luke will circulate the MFS/TPCG membership form amongst his data base.

The groups’ activities and format for meetings will generally run as before with a continued focus on

pasture agronomy.

Current Funding Submissions

Measuring Merinos Matters (pending approval) MFS has currently got a project submitted as part of the FRRR (Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal),

ANZ Seeds of Renewal program for $7,700 to go towards the final analysis of the MFS Genetic Evaluation

Trial. If successful this funding will be used to have the last three years of the wether trial data professionally

evaluated and presented in a packaged report which can be distributed to wool growers both locally and

regionally.

This will include both a published booklet with a summary of all teams results over the last three years as well

as a comprehensive analysis and recommendations to Industry including a face-to-face presentation on the

Monaro.

MFS Website

Development of the MFS website was initiated in August 2013 with the motivation behind this initiative as

follows;

1. To lift the communications profile of the organisation;

2. To enable MFS to broaden its scope to a wider target audience;

3. To build a website which promotes the organisation in a professional and credible way whilst building on

and recognising past achievements.

Thanks to financial support from the SE LLS (previously SRCMA), this website build was now a viable option

for MFS. Darryl Butler of Itchybrain Productions was contracted to develop and build the website and although

it has taken longer than anticipated, the website has now reached the final stages of completion.

The site has the following pages and functionality;

- Home / About/ Q & A / Contact

- Projects (past and current)

- Seasonal Outlooks

- Presentations (copy of slides as well as some videos)

- Events (calendar)

- Photos (Gallery and photo competition page)

- Sponsorship (Sponsors & Funding Partners)

- Testimonials from MFS members (videos)

- Reports (AGM reports, newsletters, strategic plans)

- Membership page

- Public interface and a members-only log-in level which allows members only to view specific

information
