NFM magazine issue 5, December 2013 will be on-sale December 23.
For this issue, Managing Editor Anna Game-Lopata travelled to Western Australia’s southern wheat belt to talk to two innovative farmers who have succeeded in keeping weeds at bay with their alternative weed management methods.
Farmers Barry Gray and Simon Kerin took time out from their busy schedules to spill the beans about what they’re doing differently and how they’re succeeding in getting rid of weed with less spraying.
In true NFM style, we tested five very different types of farm machinery to get you ready for the farming seasons ahead:
- Kubota BX25D sub-compact tractor (watch the video review)
- John Deere’s 990 variable chamber round baler (watch the video review)
- Holden Colorado 4×4 LTZ ute (watch the video review)
- Can-Am Outlander DPS 500 ATV
- Pottinger Terrasem disc drill
For our monthly profile feature, Col Jackson spoke to premium cotton guru Glenn Rogan who runs a high tech, innovative farm producing the longest, finest, softest, strongest threads of cotton in the world.
Farm machinery expert Dr Graeme Quick makes a comeback with his informative pieces, this time with tips on selecting the right equipment for your business.
Not forgetting of course our comprehensive buyers’ guide section, which will include a 12 page specifications guide to balers; both rectangular and round.
