Agriculture Victoria is hosting a workshop at Mansfield to help producers make informed decisions around this season’s fodder production.
Agriculture Victoria meat and wool regional manager Brad Costin is encouraging producers to attend one of the fodder field days to hear from expert Frank Mickan, to help get the most out of their pasture hay or silage this spring.
