Planning Through the Unknown – Weather, Crops & Tactics for 2025
Mallee Sustainable Farming group recently hosted a webinar on “Planning Through the Unknown – Weather, Crops & Tactics for 2025”. You can watch a recording of the webinar here.
In this timely GRDC RiskWi$e webinar, farmers and agronomists come together to tackle the uncertainties of the 2025 season. With some areas already receiving a seasonal break and others still holding their breath, the session offers practical strategies to help you navigate key seeding decisions.
👉 Jeff Braun (private agronomist) shares insights from 2024’s dry sowing outcomes, lessons learned, and what to watch for this year.
👉 Barry Mudge (Port Germein farmer and ag economist) explores the economics of cropping decisions across seasonal deciles and how to adjust your plans as conditions evolve.
👉 Peter Hayman (SARDI Principal Climate Scientist) explains how to interpret weather forecasts, what they really tell us, and how to use them to inform (without over-relying on them) your on-farm decisions.
This session is part of the GRDC RiskWi$e Project and supported by the De-risking Seeding Project, funded through the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.
⏱️ Runtime: ~1 hour, including speaker presentations, audience polls, and a Q&A panel.
