SGSL Producer Network Projects (New South Wales)

Summary

The NSW Producer Network committee was chaired by John Powell and supported 26 grower sites. They were strongly focused in central NSW (where most salinity expression is evident) but extended from Inverell in the north to Albury in the south. The sites predominantly investigated the suite of saltland options available for the rehabilitation of saline land, and the associated establishment and management questions.

Outcomes

The research funded through the SGSL Producer Network was relevant to each groups’ particular needs as well as being appropriate to their local conditions, knowledge and experience. Collectively, the NSW project sites contributed not only to improving local knowledge and interest, but were part of a national network of more than 120 group-based projects, all aiming to improve skills in saltland management and improving the value of saltland grazing to the whole farm business.
