Overview of this event
Join Local Land Services in this session of the "Lessons from the Land” series of free online webinars delivered by local Drought Adoption Officers.
Mixed farming brings flexibility, but also complexity — especially in tough seasons.
Whether you're managing mixed enterprises or thinking about shifting the balance on your farm, this conversation offers honest insights and practical takeaways from farmers who’ve lived it.
Webinar details
In this webinar, you'll hear from a panel of NSW mixed farmers about how they managed the challenges of drought across both their cropping and livestock enterprises.
- How did they prioritise between sowing crops and feeding stock?
- What trade-offs did they face?
- What financial or seasonal decisions helped them stay resilient?
From juggling grazing stubbles and tight sowing windows to managing stress and uncertainty, our panellists will share what helped them cope, adapt, and recover.
Why join?
- Hear real stories from mixed farmers balancing cropping and livestock in dry seasons.
- Learn how others made critical resource and timing decisions during drought.
- Discover strategies to balance priorities and improve resilience across enterprises.
- Gain practical tips on managing the personal load — not just the business.
