Building Drought Resilience with Deep-Rooted Pastures with Andy and Ben Sippel
<p>What if one native plant could fundamentally change how your grazing system performs, even through drought?</p> <p>In this episode, Local Land Services Cropping Ag Advisor, Tim Bartimote, sits down with Andy and Ben Sippel from Saltbush Plains to unpack decades of hands-on experience using old man saltbush as a backbone species in grazing systems. From transforming degraded cropping country into resilient perennial pasture, to maintaining high stocking rates independent of rainfall, they share why deep-rooted native shrubs are one of Australia’s most underutilised agricultural assets.</p> <p>You’ll hear how saltbush supports livestock performance with year-round green feed, high protein levels, and exceptional water-use efficiency, plus how smart grazing management turns ecological strength into economic strength.</p> <p>This is a practical, grounded conversation for producers interested in building resilient pastures, reducing inputs, and working with Australia’s landscapes, not against them.</p> <p><strong>Resources and links:</strong></p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.saltbushlamb.com.au/">Saltbush Lamb</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K0jkHy0iDo6-bAlPjlI3N75Nn9biUHHP/view?usp=sharing">MLA Managing Your Feedbase</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-sippel-36918287/">Ben Sippel on LinkedIn</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-sippel-b9744352/">Andy Sippel on LinkedIn</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Nominate a Mate:</strong></p> <ul> <li aria-level="1">If you'd like to nominate a mate (or yourself) as a potential future guest on the podcast, you can do so here: <a href="https://regionalnsw.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aVuHOf7krHE9Voq">Nominate a Mate for 'Seeds for Success'</a><strong>.</strong></li> </ul> <p><strong>Connect:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.lls.nsw.gov.au/regions/central-west">Central West LLS website</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CentralWestLLS">Central West LLS on Facebook</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/CentralWestLLS">Central West LLS on X</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/CentralWestLLS">Central West LLS on YouTube</a></li> </ul> <p>The views contained in this podcast series are not necessarily endorsed by Central West Local Land Services.

Fixing the foundations: Why Liam Mowbray sees rectifying pH as the first step in healthy pasture
<p>Welcome to the final episode of our 4-part series, The Lime Light, where we shine a light on lime and dig into building pasture performance on acidic soils. </p> <p>Liam Mowbray runs a cattle operation near Gloucester in partnership with his wife Alissa and his parents. Since moving to the area four years ago, the family has focused on lifting production by increasing the carrying capacity across their properties. </p> <p>In this episode, Liam talks about making soil pH a foundational part of their production approach and the flow-on effects this has had on soil and pasture performance. You’ll also hear Liam discuss managing steeper country where cultivation isn’t an option, and the strategies used to address soil acidity in these areas. </p> <p>Local Land Services Mixed Farming Advisor Rohan Leach, sat down with Liam, away from the heat of the day, to bring you this chat. </p> <p><strong>Resources and links:</strong> </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/agriculture/pastures-and-rangelands/research/acid-soils" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/agriculture/pastures-and-rangelands/research/acid-soils&source=gmail&ust=1770424113090000&usg=AOvVaw0YMeCHfkF27IQRmDcfxSCz">NSW - Pastures on acid soils</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/liam-mowbray-07b53790/?originalSubdomain=au" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.linkedin.com/in/liam-mowbray-07b53790/?originalSubdomain%3Dau&source=gmail&ust=1770424113090000&usg=AOvVaw3MTHIOMVKc29Xk2smj_6EB">Liam Mowbray on LinkedIn</a> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Nominate a Mate:</strong> </p> <ul> <li> <p>If you'd like to nominate a mate (or yourself) as a potential future guest on the podcast, you can do so here: <a href="https://regionalnsw.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aVuHOf7krHE9Voq" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://regionalnsw.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aVuHOf7krHE9Voq&source=gmail&ust=1770424113090000&usg=AOvVaw2o5uHz84qC0d1S_TPQe5ND">Nominate a Mate for 'Seeds for Success'</a><strong>.</strong> </p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Connect:</strong> </p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="https://www.lls.nsw.gov.au/regions/central-west" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.lls.nsw.gov.au/regions/central-west&source=gmail&ust=1770424113090000&usg=AOvVaw3TnDnY4E2InbMoG8xbFicK">Central West LLS website</a> </p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CentralWestLLS" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.facebook.com/CentralWestLLS&source=gmail&ust=1770424113090000&usg=AOvVaw38KVP-jQo_AzjkNaD2MmTa">Central West LLS on Facebook</a> </p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/CentralWestLLS" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.youtube.com/user/CentralWestLLS&source=gmail&ust=1770424113090000&usg=AOvVaw15oAnEMxg46ti5ROHgiEgM">Central West LLS on YouTube</a> </p> </li> </ul> <p>The views contained in this podcast series are not necessarily endorsed by Central West Local Land Services.
