Project Overview
Forage Shrubs in the Mallee: A Farmer’s Guide to Productive Grazing
In this third episode of the MSF FarmTalk shrubs series, experienced mixed farmer John Arentz shares two decades of insights into managing forage shrubs for livestock grazing. John explains how he keeps shrubs at optimal grazing height, integrates productive pastures within shrub stands, and transforms unproductive land into a valuable farm asset.
With forage shrubs making livestock management easier in the Mallee, John’s approach offers practical guidance for farmers looking to improve resilience in mixed farming systems.
This project is supported by the Mallee Catchment Management Authority through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.
