FILL OR FIND A JOB WITH THE FARM ARMY

Have a farm job you need a hand with? Connect with the Farm Army to get it done.
A service provided by the charity Rural Aid, the Farm Army is a job posting platform available online at www.farmarmy.com.au.
Farmers post jobs they need help with, and workers and volunteers seek jobs.
Rural Aid knows it can be hard to find skilled people who are willing to travel and work in rural areas.
Many grey nomads, holiday makers, tradies and backpackers who do want to lend a hand express frustration at not knowing where to direct their skills.
Since the Farm Army was created, thousands of volunteers have been able to find meaningful work on Aussie farms.
Volunteers have provided invaluable support to farmers and rural communities affected by drought, fire and flood.
If you are a farmer that needs assistance, you can list a job with the Farm Army. This will be shared online and with subscribers in weekly newsletters.
If you have skills and are interested in offering your time, a bit of sweat and are keen to meet some great rural people, check the jobs listed on the website.

IS PH AFFECTING YOUR PRODUCTIVITY?

Soil acidity is one of the key constraints faced by farmers in southern NSW. pH is measured on a scale of 1-14, with anything below 7 considered acidic and anything above 7 considered alkaline. Soil acidification occurs naturally through the weathering of soils; however, agricultural production increases the speed of acidification. Agricultural produce, like hay, grain and pasture are all alkaline products, therefore, when they’re removed from the paddock, they leave behind excess hydrogen ions, which increase soil acidity. Use of nitrogen fertilisers, leaching of nitrate and the build-up of organic matter can also contribute to soil acidification. The more productive your paddock, the faster you are acidifying your soil. What does this mean for your farm?

AG TECHNOLOGY…. FRIEND OR FOE? 🌾🌱🪰
Technology… people either love it or hate it, the middle ground is tough to find and sometimes hard to stay there as well. However, the world we live in is becoming more and more technological and sometimes you might feel like you have to have the tech to keep up with the times. The agricultural industry is not immune to the use of tech either - from GPS systems in machinery, weigh scales for livestock or through to the more high-end remote sensing systems and robotics in paddocks or automation of systems to open outlets on irrigation. Many farmers will have seen a steady progression along the line of technology over time. When deciding whether to go down the tech investment path, there is always plenty of questions to consider.

ONLY THE BEST WILL DO 🐑
When Jason O’Loghlin set out breeding Wiltshire Horns in 2002 he made himself a promise that only the best would do. That credence has set him up for success as a producer, and in the showing circuit. The Deniliquin-based breeder went to the Sydney Royal Easter Show in April with a mostly new team of sheep, and swept the field. The Wiltshire Horn was the feature breed of the show, and his OLoghlin Wiltshire Horn Stud claimed Grand Champion Wiltshire Horn Ram, Grand Champion Wiltshire Horn Ewe and Most Successful Wiltshire Horn Exhibitor. Jason said it’s just the latest in a run of major successes.
