How pastures are managed in drought conditions will determine how quickly they respond to rain when it arrives. This involves:
- assessing pasture quantity and aligning this with stocking rates
- maintaining ground cover
- locking paddocks to preserve groundcover and prevent soil erosion
- use of sacrifice paddocks
- managing weeds, insect attack, and plant diseases.
