Last week the Year 12 Agricultural Production class visited Andy Barr's "Gate End" property west of Pinery. Andy showed the students the innovative frost management strategies he is trialling. He has sown a legume blend of peas, beans, lentils and chick peas as well as a wheat crop using three different varieties. By blending varieties, he will have plants in each paddock flowering across an extended period, hopefully having some of them avoiding frost damage. Very interesting to see this clever idea in action.
