Economy of inputs approach yields prophets

摘要

With growing-season rainfall averaged across the past 10-year period now at the lowest point on record, growers in Victoria's southern Mallee region have been seriously evaluating their farming systems, inputs and consequent production risk. Farming Ahead look a look at the approach of the Birchip Cropping Group to identify key tools that could benefit growers across the country. The Birchip Cropping Group (BCG) carries out research and provides information and support that allows growers to manage production risk. BCG's risk management philosophy is based on an 'economy of inputs' approach.
