THE Strathbogie Tableland Landcare Group will run a pasture establishment and weed control field day on Sunday, October 8 at the Strathbogie Recreation Reserve.
The Landcare group will have a range of speakers on the topics of both pasture establishment and weed control and will also have some local contractors who can assist local property owners.
Landcare group member Peter Righetti said the productivity of properties is governed to a large degree by control of weeds and the quality of grasses grown.
He said livestock with grow better and faster with better grasses and less weeds.
Mr Righetti said Landcare group’s plans for the day are to assist local property owners to better control weeds and to grow better pasture for their stock and for the environment.
