    Helping producers boost resilience: the Firths

    Get inspired by Ian and Julie Firth’s story of their approach to building resilience in their grazing enterprise through the University of New England's Drought Resilient Pasture Landscapes project.

    Ian and Julie have joined other producers across the Northern Tablelands, meeting in the paddock and at workshops since 2022.

    Key focuses have been honing skills of pasture assessment, sharing knowledge about climate forecasts, and identifying impacts of their grazing and pasture management on pasture productivity and water quality in their local waterways.

    Among the tools they're using is Ag360, helping them to incorporate climate forecasts into feed budgets to forecast pasture and livestock performance for the next 6 months.
