@danicaleys The lab produces the same amount of meat as a 100ha farm. Assuming the carrying capacity is the same as mine, not 100ha in the NT, that is 25 finished steers/heifers. Even when scaled up, will it be cost effective? Will the consumer accept it or do they want a natural product?

@AndrewY87296210 Good pickup @AndrewY87296210. That’s why LLS didn’t make me a Biosecurity officer!

@GrainOrana @theGRDC @GRDCNorth @MaurieStreet @bennyob This is exciting! How much N was in the manure Maurie? Is the soil responsive to any other nutrients besides P?

@TimBartimote The LLS version of Hamish and Andy

[Central West LLS @CentralWestLLS]

He's hung up the mike and moved on to new (tropical) pastures, but we managed to squeeze in a quick chat with @AgSTAR_Farming to find out what he is planning on his place and how much of their own advice advisers actually implement. Listen https://t.co/db0Nhol0Yx

A great result for the first DPI/NSW Farmers FBRP webinar. Thank you Carmen from AgriFocused and Ben Dal Broi for sharing your knowledge. When I left uni to become an agronomist, I didn’t think I would have to worry about video lighting!

[Callen Thompson @AgSTAR_Farming]

@RohanLeach I know what you mean. It is always a compromise

[Callen Thompson @AgSTAR_Farming]

Kicked off weaning today. First time we have weaned in the Colain yards. So much easier with good infrastructure

[Callen Thompson @AgSTAR_Farming]

First frost at Colain for the year. Only a light one but a sign of things to come. #coonabarabran

[Callen Thompson @AgSTAR_Farming]

AgSTAR will be facilitating this online event for NSW DPI & NSW Farmers next week. Will be great to hear from producer, Ben Dal Broi and Carmen Quade from AgriFocused talk about financial decision making.

[Central West LLS @CentralWestLLS]

Enjoy having farm visitors over the holidays? In the first episode of Seeds for Success for 2022 @AgSTAR_Farming chats with Mark and Sally Dent from Cobbora Station about how they have successfully incorporated agritourism into their mixed farming property, west of Dunedoo.
