The demonstration compared different management strategies that could assist in preparing for and responding to drought, including:

-           Maximise production when irrigation water is available to enable building of cash reserves

-           Flexible farming, where we "pull the pin” to use less irrigation water and harvest crops as fodder to enable the building of on farm fodder reserves or its cash sale.

This project is supported by funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.

This project is a result of a successful application to the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund's - Extensions and Adoption of Drought Resilient Practices Grants Program
