This program is applicable to permanent pastures in the Western and Southern Australian temperate rainfall zones and takes 11–12 months to complete. During this time, each participant will be encouraged to take messages from the program and apply them to their own farm, review the success (and failures of these), observe what has worked/not worked and discuss this with other participants to work through possible solutions.

You will learn
