HAVE A YARN - TALKING SALT WITH TED & TONY ALTHAM 'GETTING A BETTER IDEA ABOUT SALTLAND'

Abstract

The broad saline valley floors of the south eastern wheatbelt can provide fantastic opportunities for productive saltland management. This has certainly been the case on the Althams' property. By using a mixture of saltbush and perennials, the Althams have created a productive grazing system that provides them with valuable out of season feed. The addition of lucerne on the fresher areas has certainly increased the grazing potential of the site, by providing a low salt, high energy feed source that will complement the saltbush.
