Hi there, I am new to this forum. We have a hobby farm in NSW northern rivers.

I have a south facing slope in the cattle/horse paddock which has been overrun by blady grass and weeds. I have spent the last couple of seasons selectively spraying broadleaf weeds and slashing. With spring here I plan to oversow the area with Rhodes grass and Millet. The point of the millet would be to get up quickly for some early summer feed and shade out the weeds. Will it also shade out the establishing Rhodes grass too much?

My plan was (to minimse labour):

Hi all, Been researching over the net and stumbled over this gem of a website. Have had a read through the forums but as Im only able to access on my old phone, this is quite a task! Id appreciate if anyone has the time to read and advise. We are looking at purchasing a 4.84 ha (just under 12 acres/48400 square meters) property located near Broadwater Far North NSW. Ex cane farm, nothing but grass has grown on it in 15-20 years. Type of grass im unsure, am in the process of finding out but is totally covered. Soil is a mix of sandy and clay loam right opposite the Richmond River.

Hi all,

I have 15 acres of flat land in the Latrobe Valley. When we purchased the farm we got a 25hp Kubota (2201) 4wd tractor, a single tine ripper and a slasher.

The block had been let go by the previous owners and the owners before that and we've replaced a fair bit of the fencing. Now we're at the point where we need to start working the soil, improving it and sowing pasture crops.
