Summer crops can be worth considering as part of your feed plan, helping fill the gap when pasture growth drops off.

Soil moisture, paddock conditions, sowing timing and your herd’s feed requirements all play a part in deciding what might work best on your farm.

A little planning ahead can help you make the most of the season and have feed options ready when conditions line up. 🌾

Not sure what might suit your system? Our agronomy team is happy to help you work through the options.

🌱🚜 Silage season is in full swing! 🌾
There’s nothing like seeing the paddocks turn into quality feed for the months ahead! 💪

At Webber & Chivell, we’re here to help with all your baling, mowing, raking, tedding and wrapping needs.

💡𝗣.𝗦. 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? Every tonne of pasture silage dry matter harvested removes around 27 kg of potassium from your paddock, along with other essential nutrients! 🌱 Don't forget to consider nutrient replacement to keep your paddocks productive for seasons to come.

Happy to have Isaac on board! 👨🏼‍🌾🌱

After a decade of farming and honing his interest in agronomy, Isaac Hose has taken a new career direction.
Isaac had worked for the Philp family at Garvoc but earlier this year pivoted to a new career as a trainee agronomist with Webber and Chivell.
And, with the support of the DemoDAIRY Foundation, he’s returning to study.
While farming, Isaac completed his Certificate III and IV and a Diploma of Agriculture with a scholarship from DemoDAIRY Foundation and he’s now started a Diploma of Applied Agronomy through South West TAFE.
He says the various courses have helped to shape his career and he continues to reap the benefits of ongoing study.
“I enjoy study and think that it’s good to keep learning. The new scholarship will cover the entire cost of the course so it has been very helpful.”
Isaac’s move to a new career is partly prompted by his love of growing grass, but he’s also pursuing a better work-life balance.
“I don’t have to get up as early any more, which is good. I’m married with a child and the seven days a week lifestyle of farming didn’t suit. I wanted to study a bit more and spend more time with the family.”
He’s also pursuing his real passion for farming. “When I went farming, I was always more interested in the growing grass side of it, and that developed further as I went along.
“You’re either a cow, grass or machinery person – grass is always the one for me. I find it satisfying seeing the improvement year-on-year. The farm I was on was already well established, but I am now seeing the change you can make to a farm and it’s quite rewarding.”
DemoDAIRY Foundation will wind up in 2027. It is no longer offering scholarships but will consider study tour grants for farmer groups or individuals to learn about dairying and farm business management in other areas.

Locking away paddocks for silage can wreck your rotation faster than a cow finding a gap in the fence.
Get it right now and you'll have a fuller pit for when summer growth slows and the herd needs it most.

Before you shut the gate:
🔹 Get enough nitrogen on to bulk up the cut.
🔹 Lock up at the right cover, don't wait too long or quality drops.
🔹 Use strip fencing to match your rotation and keep grazing pressure even.

Get in touch with Webber and Chivell's dedicated agronomists to discuss the best approach! 🌾

As the season turns toward silage and spring/summer growth, it's the small checks that make the biggest difference, getting down in the paddock, reading the pastures, and making sure nitrogen is going where it's needed most.

Our team is out with farmers, walking pastures and helping plan nitrogen programs that set up strong silage cuts and carry growth through the warmer months ahead.

If you're planning your next application or want a second set of eyes on your paddocks, reach out to Webber & Chivell, we're here to help you grow it right.
