Holbrook and district landholders and Landcare staff have gone much further than just trying tropical grasses, with several already establishing viable stands. Holbrook Landcare staff, such as project officer sustainable agriculture Emma Smith, and executive officer Dr Alison Southwell, are involved, with their farmers, in a range of research to maximise tropical grass establishment success, its coexistence with legumes, how to ensure best feed quality, as well as management for quality soils.
