🌱Cover crops can improve soil health by building organic matter, supporting beneficial soil biology and cycling nutrients. Nitrogen-fixing cover crops, such as clover or alfalfa, will add soluble nitrogen to the soil.

They can help suppress weeds, reducing competition for water and nutrients, while groundcover helps reduce evaporation, improve water infiltration and protect soil from wind and water erosion.

👉Tip: When determining which cover crop is most suitable to your farm, its important to consider what purpose you want that crop to serve. Knowing your individual paddock conditions and/or needs allows for best planning and management.

Great resource in MLA: Managing forage brassicas in Australian mixed farming regions.

Building healthier soils, protecting biodiversity and adopting more sustainable farming practices are essential to maintaining productive, resilient farms for the future.

🌻 SPRING IS YOUR WINDOW🌻

Spring pasture doesn’t wait. Are your paddocks ready to make the most of the season?

Across southern Australia, spring can deliver explosive pasture growth , up to 40–100 kg DM/ha/day in high-rainfall zones.

That makes spring the perfect time to assess paddocks that are thin, damaged, weedy or missing key pasture species.

Use the spring window to identify where pasture renovation could lift production.

🌱 Direct drill new pasture species
💧 Preserve valuable soil moisture
🪱 Minimise soil disturbance
🌾 Retain groundcover
🎯 Boost pasture density and nutrition

With a no-till disc seeder, you can establish pasture while leaving more of your existing species, soil structure and groundcover intact.

Pump up pasture and build up your paddocks for the seasons ahead😎

🌥The early mornings.
The long days.
The header ride alongs.
The lessons learned in the paddock.

For many, that first farming experience started with a Dad, a Grandad, Uncle, neighbour or someone who showed us the ropes and passed down their knowledge of the land.

Here’s cheers to the fathers, grandfathers and positive male role models in our communities who taught us to work hard, have a go, fix what’s broken (the usefulness of duct tape), care for people and land we love and never be afraid to get your hands dirty.

From our family to yours, Happy Father’s Day!

👨‍🌾👨‍🌾Meet the big brother of the Darryl Drill Series… the TowBeHine™.

A new generation of pasture seeding, built on decades of no-till experience. Offering the same reliable, double disc seeding system but now with the freedom to tow.😎

Every paddock tells a story. Ours started more than 60 years ago with brothers Garry and Darryl Hine.

Farmers through and through, practical, innovative thinkers, the Hine brothers were always looking for solutions. Their early work with no-till helped shape a time of transition in farming practises in Western Australia.

The TowBeHine™ Darryl Drill is the latest chapter in this story.

Australian Made. Farmer Backed. Built on Legacy.

🌼Take the scenic route on the first day of spring,
Where green and gold crops ripple like waves in the wind.
Follow the winding road through wildflower country,
Where bushland is blanketed in blossoms, so pretty.

Early morning dew glistens in the sunlight.
Golden canola paints the paddocks bright,
Earthy rain and fresh grass fill the air,
Spring blooms begin to open everywhere.

🪾Wattle glows yellow beneath the gum trees,
Eucalyptus leaves rustle in the warming breeze.
Grevilleas flare red, banksias stand tall,
The Paperbarks shimmer, flake, and softly fall.

🪶Kookaburra's cackle from a weathered old tree,
While magpies call sweetly from the gum’s canopy.
A mob of roos bound through the paddocks at dawn,
The chorus of galahs sweep through the sky and soar on.

👨🏼‍🌾Behind every paddock, each shed and field,
Are farmers whose hard work makes the harvest yield.
So take the scenic route, slow down and see,
The country they grow, beautiful and free.
