Southern New England Landcare Ltd in partnership with UNE’s 2017 Rural Science Agricultural Extension students and Working With Nature present a field day on Sprouted Barley as Green Fodder.

Can sprouted barley enable landholders to increase their herd size while reducing environmental impacts? Can it increase food security regardless of weather and grazing conditions? Can it drought-proof a farm?

Speakers include:

• Derek Smith - landholder producing sprouted barley for on-farm use
• Prof Roger Hegarty (UNE) - protein and energy nutrition of livestock
• Q&A session to follow a tour of the Kenilworth sprouted barley production shed.

SNELandcare is supported by the Northern Tablelands Local Land Services, through funding from the NSW Government’s Catchment Action NSW and the Australian Government’s National Landcare Programme. Catering kindly sponsored by Elders and provided by Guyra Country Women’s Association.
