Controlled traffic farming systems
Controlled traffic farming systems for the North Coast Grower Group
Group Name: North Coast Grower Group (Mackay district)
The project seeks to implement and trial farming systems that incorporate the practices of controlled traffic, minimum tillage and crop rotations. The North Coast Grower Group will combine their resources and efforts to develop and implement a new farming system that utilizes the bulk of their existing equipment, improves the management of their natural resources and reduces their cost of production. The group will combine the results of their trials to identify a farming system that is sufficiently robust to handle the variations experienced in the North Coast (seasonal conditions, soil types, farm layouts and variable equipment) and improve the financial sustainability of the group members.
