Scholarship Description
The potential agronomic role of perennial pastures in paddocks as part of cropping sequences in mixed farming systems is well established. The implications for whole farm profit and risk over time of introducing perennials into whole-farm plans of mixed farming systems is more problematic. The net benefit of using perennials in mixed farming systems in southern NSW is determined by the complex interplay of many factors: rainfall, technical standards of operations, varieties of pasture and crop, seasonal weather conditions, disease, soil structure and nutrient status, quantity and quality of crop products and pastures over time, prices of livestock and crop products, interest rates and the year-on-year interactions between the types and performances of individual activities on particular areas of the farm.
