WE HAVE MOVED

2006-11-26T17:52:00.000+10:30

Announcing that the Grassland Society of NSW News Blog has moved to a new location.

GRASSLAND SOCIETY NSW BLOG

This move allows much more functionality in that all posts can now be searched and categorised. Additionally, static pages can be added so that publications can now be archived in a format that is readily searchable for members.

Changes to the main website will only be minor but we anticipate that the blog will be a much more active part of the website from now on.

As always, we welcome your comments - these are easily left on any part of the new blog or emailed directly to us.

cheers for now and hope to see you at our "new place"

New Green Book

2006-08-11T10:40:00.000+09:30

The 2006-2007 edition of the NSW Pasture Variety Guide is now out. Otherwise known as the "Green Book", this is an excellent resource for anyone interested in pasture development. This guide provides information on species and varieties/brands of pasture grasses, legumes and some herbs used in pastures.

Pasture Varieties used in NSW
2006-2007

This book was compiled by Bev Zurbo (Pasture Liaison Officer, NSW DPI, Wagga Wagga) and published jointly by NSW DPI and The Grassland Society of NSW Inc. This publication replaces the previous 2004-2005 edition and contains information on currently available varieties.

Please note that this is a very large pdf file (about 3.5 MB) so we suggest that you right-click on the link above and "Save Target As" to download it directly to your computer.

Cheers for now from the Web Team

Other Blogs of Interest

2006-08-10T09:07:00.000+09:30

Some of you may know a lot of blogs and others might be wondering just what it all means. Put simply, blog is shorthand for web log or in other words, a kind of online diary. Blogging is an incredibly versatile way of participating in and using the internet as an active communication medium.

Blogs are set up for all sorts of reasons - this one for the NSW Grassland Society is used as to make news announcements and as a place where we can put snippets of information that might be of interest. Anyone can join the "blogosphere" by either writing, reading, subscribing to and/or commenting on a blog. If you ignore this new phenomenon of blogging, you are missing out on a huge chunk of the internet so let's have a look at the basics:

Searching the Blogosphere
There are literally millions of blogs out there so how do you find something of interest ? Here are some suggestions:

Google Blog Search - basic search using the Google system
Technorati - up to date monitoring of popular topics with advanced searching
del.icio.us - strange name but building a community using tags & bookmarks

Subscribing to a Blog
Once you have found a blog that you would like to keep reading, you can usually subscribe to it so you are automatically notified of any updates. This can be done in a number of ways - posts sent to your email program, update notifications or by using a specialised newsreader program or website. Here are a few that we use ourselves (there are many more out there): Feedburner, Technorati, and Bloglines (all free to register).

Becoming a Blogger
Anyone can start their own blog - there are a range of options but for those on a tight budget, we recommend Blogger or Wordpress (both are completely free of charge). Sign up and in a few minutes you can start writing. Alternatively, you may like to comment on blogs written by other people - look for a comments section at the bottom of each article (or post). Make your thoughts known to the world. By the way, the Grassland Society of NSW welcomes comments so feel free to add your feedback.

Agricultural Blogs
Just to get you started, here are a few different types of blogs that that might be of interest to those in the agricultural industries.

Rational Agriculture - UK based blog about science in agriculture
Agriculture Resources - collection of links in blog format
Environmental News Network - Food & Agriculture headlines
Life on the Pea Harvest - a quirky diary of a Birds Eye agricultural manager describing this years pea crop (in England)
Diary of a Carbon Farmer - written by a consultant/farmer at Gulgong, NSW
LandHear - blog about sustainable land management in Australia
Pasture Perfect Produce - blog about an organic farm producing pork in NSW

These are not in any particular order - just a sampling of the different types of blogs that are out there (some obviously are more relevant or reliable than others). Of course, you will find blogs on any subject you would like to think of so get searching and link up with those of similar interests. Or you may be inspired to set up your own.

Hope this has been of some interest and explains why the Grassland Society of NSW maintains a blog in conjunction with its website. Stay tuned for a post about this year's conference - not quite as good as being there yourself but definitely the next best thing.

Cheers for now from the Web Team.

Website additions

2006-03-24T09:50:00.000+10:30

Just a quick note to Society members advising of website updates. Grassland Society newsletters are now published on the website up till Volume 21, Number 1. The search box in the left margin allows you to search the whole website for any articles or topics of interest or by author name. Very handy if you are trying to track down that elusive article that you would like to read again.

We have also incorporated a weather search box - also on the left margin below the menu bar and search box. This allows you to enter any town name or postcode and instantly see the relevant weather and climate information for the nearest weather station. While most people in the agricultural industry will have their favourite weather sites, we hope you will find this addition a useful feature to the Grassland Society website.

Preliminary information for the 2006 Conference is also published and will be updated as details are finalised by the Conference Committee. Cheers for now, and remember we welcome feedback and suggestions from members on how to improve the website.

From the President's Desk Dec'05

2005-12-22T07:23:00.000+10:30

As this newsletter (Volume 20, Number 4) goes to the printer, most of NSW is enjoying at least a good average spring, with some areas boasting “the best for 10 years”! I trust all the Grassland members (and others too!) are experiencing good pasture, livestock and crop prospects.

The Society is continuing to make progress in a number of areas. We are currently encouraging our sponsors from last year to once again support our efforts to improve the transfer of sound technology among all stakeholders in our agricultural industries. Letters to current and new sponsors have been sent and we are awaiting replies. If any of our current sponsors have yet to respond to our letter, we would very much appreciate your reply. Sponsorship benefits have been expanded on previous years and with a growing membership, it represents a sound investment as well as supplying the vital support that the Society needs.

Next year’s conference will be held at Wagga Wagga. Already, a hard working committee is putting together a program that is shaping up as both challenging and very informative. As we have not met at Wagga for some years, this will provide an excellent opportunity to highlight developments in agricultural research and farm practice from the Southern area of the state. A summary of the draft program will appear in the next newsletter.

I am keen to hear from members whether there would be sufficient interest in participating in a study tour - possibly to New Zealand next year. The Society would be able to coordinate such an activity, provided there are adequate numbers. Please contact me or another committee member or e-mail our secretary – secretary@grasslandnsw.com.au.

Cheers,

Mick Duncan
President

(Please note that last years newsletters will be loaded on to the main website as soon as possible - Website Team)

Links of interest to members

2005-06-28T11:13:00.000+09:30

NSW Grassland Society members are reminded that the main website contains a useful list of links that may be of interest to those involved in the grazing/pastoral industries. This list of links is divided into a number of categories and is a convenient place to find websites of various seed and fertiliser companies, government and industry/research organisations as well as weather and other portal sites.

If you have any suggestions for additions to this list, please contact the website administrator.

Those of you who look at the 10 day rainfall map provided by the IGER will have noticed that it has been unavailable over the last couple of weeks. These forecasts have just been moved to a new location so if you have bookmarked this site, you may need to correct it to the new address. This also applies to the 6 day forecasts provided by the same organisation.

We have also put in a new link to the Australian Farming Virtual Library - a collection of links relating to anything agricultural - well worth a look as there might be a useful link in there that you have not yet discovered.

Please contact us if you have any suggestions for the website generally or if you are having trouble logging in to the member resource area.
Cheers for now from the website administration team

Supplementary Feeding information

2005-06-24T10:10:00.000+09:30

The Supplementary Feeding Field Days held at Guyra and Deepwater recently offred Grassland Society members a great deal of useful information on the principles of supplementary feeding. Hopefully many of you will have received useful rain in recent weeks, however, the cold temperatures limiting pasture growth means that supplementary feeding will still be a fact of life on many farms over the next few months. The committee of the Northern Tablelands Branch of the Grassland Society of NSW has kindly allowed much of the resouce material presented at these field days to be published on the main grasslands website.

The publishing job is still underway and should be finished in the next week. For those of you keen for a sneak preview, click here to open a PDF file containing Lewis Kahn's excellent presentation on the principles of supplementary feeding or Michael Lollback's comprehensive presentation on supplementary feeding and sheep production. Both of these presentations contain very useful information here for all graziers when making difficult feeding decisions. Please note that the information appearing in these notes is general in nature and more specific information should be sought from the author or your advisor. These files are stored in the Members Only area of the NSW Grassland Society website so you may be asked to login before accessing the files. Please contact us if you are having trouble logging into the members only resource section of the website.

Cheers for now from the Grassland Society of NSW (website admin)
