02 november, 2024, Tasmania Australia – FAO Director-General QU Dongyu visit to Ben and Stephanie Tait's farm a 800 hectares at Epping Forest in the Northern Midlands.The farm is a mixed operation, split roughly 70% to crops and 30% to livestock.
The cropping program is highly varied. They grow other crops for seed, including canola and chicory. They also produce vegetables in the rotation – including peas, broccoli and potatoes – on smaller areas. In marginal seasons, they grow barley as well as it is a more resilient and less costly crop, which they can stop irrigating if the season requires
The Tait’s property hosts a weather station and soil moisture probe that forms part of the Tas Farm Innovation Hub’s ‘Drought management tools for farmers’ collaborative project delivered by Ag Logic. Precision agriculture and access to weather and soil data has changed farm management and irrigation decisions. They have also undertaken drainage works to assist in better managing water on farm.
The Tas Farm Innovation Hub is a partnership between the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, via the Future Drought Fund initiative, and the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture, which sits within the University of Tasmania.
