Spring advice for farmers in the Riverina
- Forecast pasture growth and livestock performance up to four months ahead using the Farming Forecaster data.
- Control weeds on your property. Effective weed management before sowing gives new pastures the best chance to thrive.
- Avoid grazing too early—especially on wet soils—to prevent damage. Where possible, rest new pastures through spring to encourage establishment and seed set.
Seasonal conditions
Use the DPIRD seasonal rainfall outlook and drought indicator for the Riverina region to forecast for the season ahead.
