In this episode, we’re talking about drought resilience, particularly feeding through droughts.
Feeding stock can be one of the most time consuming, expensive and mentally challenging aspects of a drought.
We speak to independent sheep consultant Anthony Shepherd from Sheepmatters about how technology is helping producers decide which stock to sell and which to feed through a drought.
We also talk to Justin Dunn from The Shepherd Ag who has developed a whole automated feedlot solution, allowing farmers to improve precision when feeding and significantly cutting back on the workload required to feed stock during a drought.
And we’re joined by Central West NSW farmer Murray Balcomb who has been using the Shepherd Ag technology for the last couple of years and says with it he now feels ready to take on the next drought.
