MS&A Farm Systems - Agronomy: Cropping

MS&A cropping advice is provided in conjunction with a budget and cash flow implications in a whole farm context. MS&A provides advice on both irrigated and dryland farming systems.

Crop Planning
MS&A crop plans take into account previous cropping history and provide appropriate rotations that balance crop returns with the risks associated with disease and seasonal conditions. The plans provide strategies for managing weeds and pests, and ensure adequate crop nutrition and optimal use of fertiliser.

A report is produced which summarises input requirements and estimations of production, income and expenditure. Balancing current needs and requirements of the whole farming system without compromising future successes is an important focus of crop planning.

Soil and Water Testing and Interpretation
MS&A can organise soil testing covering sampling, analysis and/or interpretation for surface soil, deep nitrogen and Predicta B Root Disease tests. Water quality tests can also be arranged to ensure you are getting the most out of herbicide applications.

In Crop Management and Monitoring
MS&A provides paddock monitoring and advice at critical times in the year so that weeds, disease and crop nutrition are effectively managed. Diagnostic tests can be arranged for problem paddocks.

Paddock visits and recommendations are recorded in an electronic format. This system allows the consultant visiting the farm to access all of the details of previous visits and records of issues relating to particular farms, paddocks or crops. This enhances consistency of advice and communication of advice between consultants and clients.

Irrigation
MS&A specialist agronomists can arrange advice regarding irrigation scheduling and management.
