Mallee Sustainable Farming Details
Mallee Sustainable Farming (MSF) Inc. is a farmer driven organisation delivering research and extension services to the < 350mm rainfall Mallee cropping regions of New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. MSF operates within a region of over four million hectares, extending beyond Balranald in the east to Murray Bridge in the west. MSF Inc. formed in 1997 in response to a recognition that conservation farming practices had not been widely adopted across the region. Therefore, there was a need to identify the issues restricting the adoption of technology that would enhance the development of profitable and sustainable farming systems. During its first 16 years of operation, MSF has achieved a great deal. Increases in farm profitability have been observed as a result of MSF activities, along with environmental and social gains. MSF continues to strive to be relevant to farmers' information needs, whether in the sphere of cereal cropping or livestock management. The Mallee has approximately 2000 dryland farming families whose farming activities include cropping (wheat, barley, vetch, lupins and canola) and livestock (sheep for wool, lambs and cattle for meat). An increasing number of these families are members of MSF, receiving new and timely information on research and best management practices. Such activities include Farmtalk fact sheets, farm walks, trial sites, field days and research compendium publications.
