The 2nd of 3 case studies created in collaboration between The University of New England and Visitors From Dreams.

In this video, Richard and Prue Post discuss their farming operations at Outer Bald Blair, located east of Guyra NSW. By participating in a coaching program run by the University of New England and supported by the Future Drought Fund, they and their team learned how to measure and budget pasture, which has been crucial for managing their land sustainably. Their focus has been on improving pasture management, especially after the 2019 drought.

The coaching program emphasised practical, group-based learning, which allowed the Posts to benchmark their progress against others and rapidly improve their skills. This has helped them make informed decisions, like early destocking in anticipation of lower rainfall, guided by tools such as Ag360 (ag360.com.au).

This project was funded by the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund – Drought Resilient Soils and Landscapes (DRSL) Grants Program and hosted by the University of New England, with on-ground partners GLENRAC Inc, Southern New England Landcare Ltd, and Northern Tablelands Local Land Services.
