Do you have a plan for how your animals will be looked after if you are required to self-isolate? Will you have enough feed, animal health products and other supplies?

Animal owners have an obligation to ensure their pets or livestock are properly cared for at all times.

If you are required to self-isolate you should arrange for someone else to care for livestock and make sure the person you will be trusting to look after your animals is willing to take on this responsibility.

Protect your animals and farm business by ensuring you are up to date with COVID-19 restrictions and your farm has an up to date COVIDSafe Plan.

A new report has revealed that in 2020–21 Victoria’s nation-leading dairy farmers experienced the best financial returns in more than six years as the sector continues to innovate and excel.

Minister for Agriculture Mary-Anne Thomas released the 2020–21 Dairy Farm Monitor report today, which shows the hard work and resilience of Victoria’s dairy farmers has paid off after experiencing some difficult years responding to recent dry conditions, low water allocations and market volatility.

Agriculture Victoria’s Dairy Farm Monitor project is a collaboration with Dairy Australia to provide critical insight for industry into how the sector is tracking. The annual report is a comprehensive financial and production analysis of 80 Victorian dairy farm businesses in south-western Victoria, Gippsland and northern Victoria.

The quality benchmarking data in the report gives Victorian dairy farmers the ability to make comparisons and identify areas they could change to improve the productivity, profitability and sustainability of their businesses.

While average dairy farm profits were up across most of the state, dairy farmers in Victoria’s north posted the best results, taking advantage of favourable seasonal conditions to record the highest profits this region has seen for 15 years.

Since the last report, farm cashflows have increased from the previous year, with 94 per cent of farms recording a positive return. This financial rebound has enabled farmers to invest back into their businesses by repairing and upgrading infrastructure and machinery and improving pastures.

Victoria is a leading contributor to Australia’s dairy industry, accounting for 77 per cent of Australia's dairy exports valued at $2.1 billion. The gross value of milk produced in Victoria is worth $2.7 billion (2018-19). The sector supports almost 10,000 jobs with more than half of these workers located in regional Victoria.

The 2020–21 Dairy Farm Monitor report is available on the Agriculture Victoria website.

Farmers wishing to upgrade irrigation infrastructure in the Central Gippsland area are encouraged to apply for funding under the Central Gippsland Irrigation Efficiency Incentives Program.

The program opened for applications on Monday 20 September and remains open until Friday 29 October.

“The aim of the program is to encourage irrigators within Central Gippsland to undertake farm planning and on-farm irrigation upgrades to improve irrigation practices, improve farm productivity and reduce the impacts of irrigation on the Environment,” said Land Programs Coordinator with the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority (WGCMA) Anthony Goode.

“Funding is available for such things as farm planning, both developing new farm plans or updating existing plans, and on ground works, such as installing reuse systems, converting flood to spray or drip irrigation systems or best practice surface irrigation.”

In recent years, farmers have made significant changes to their irrigation practices with upgrades and improvements saving many thousands of megalitres of water and improving productivity on farm.

“Certainly, farm businesses that have developed farm plans and made improvements to systems as a result see significant improvements in their operation, both in terms of time saved but also helping to make businesses more profitable,” Mr Goode said.

Funding for the Central Gippsland Irrigation Efficiency Incentives Program is limited, and new eligibility criteria are in place.

Eligible infrastructure projects that meet the program objectives will be allocated through a random ballot process after the application period has closed.

Applications can be submitted between Monday 20 September and Friday 29 October.

More information can be found at www.wgcma.vic.gov.au/for-farmers/incentives21

For further information please contact the irrigation team at the West Gippsland CMA on 1300 094 262 or email Alexis Killoran from Agriculture Victoria at alexis.c.killoran@agriculture.vic.gov.au.

Imagine calling your vet to come and pregnancy test your herd of cows, only to find out most of them are not pregnant. What could you have done to prevent this scenario?

A pre-joining check of your bull's soundness and the state of his fertility levels may help prevent this disheartening situation.

Fertility is the ability of a bull to achieve, by natural service, a pregnancy rate of 60 per cent and 85 per cent in 50 normally cycling females, within three and six weeks of mating, respectively.

Your veterinarian will check a number of components of the bull to ensure this is possible.

Firstly, the bull needs to be physically examined for any faults with his legs, head, joints, feet, sheath and penis as any of these will affect his ability to serve a cow. His general health also needs to be clinically assessed.

Secondly, your veterinarian will check the bull’s scrotal circumference and inspect the bull’s testis for tone or resilience, as these are closely related to a bull’s fertility.

It is important to watch your bull during joining to determine his serving ability and his desire to serve cows.

Furthermore, your veterinarian will examine the bull’s semen under a microscope and analyse it for motility as well as looking at the morphology or structure of the individual sperm cells.

There is much more to it than putting your bull out with a herd of cows and expecting him to perform, you need to investigate and make sure your bull is up to the job.

For further advice please contact your local veterinarian.

Southern Rural Water (SRW) says recent rainfall and last week’s earthquake may have tested the integrity of some farm dams, serving as a timely reminder for landowners to check the safety of their farm dams.

Manager Groundwater and Rivers, Bryce Morden said that heavy rain over winter and spring periods means that that some dams could fail if they have not been properly maintained. Adding to the risk was the recent earthquake that occurred which may have damaged dam banks.

He said some landowners in the region have found out the hard way in recent years that a failed dam is expensive to repair and can deny them a vital source of water when you need it most.

“Collapsed dams can also cause significant damage to the environment and to neighbouring downstream properties,” he said.

“If your dam collapses and causes damage to someone else’s property, you may be liable for the costs.”

Southern Rural Water recommends that landowners check their dams regularly as part of their weekly routine.

Amongst other things, landowners should ensure their spillway is designed to take a 1-in-100-year flood and is free of obstructions.

They should also ensure any compensation pipes are working effectively.

On the dam itself, check the dam wall for any signs of leaking, cracks, slippage or erosion and ensure your dam wall is kept clear of trees, shrubs and weeds. You should not allow stock any access to the dam wall, as they can cause damaging erosion.

“If anyone notices an issue with a private dam, we advise them to immediately phone either Southern Rural Water or a qualified engineer with experience in farm dams,” Mr Morden said.

“Our Field Officers also do routine checks on the condition of dams and will ask property owners to make improvements where necessary.”

For more information about farm dams, phone Southern Rural Water on 1300 139 510, visit www.srw.com.au or download Your dam: Your responsibility - a guide to managing the safety of dams. .

An Agriculture Victoria research project studying the grapevine pest, phylloxera, has revealed new ways to improve detection and management of this destructive pest.

Over the last three years, a $1.5 million project co-funded with Wine Australia has delivered a new portable technology for rapid identification of phylloxera in the field, new knowledge in assisting screening of rootstock resistance, and new disinfestation practices to help prevent the pest from spreading.

“Phylloxera are tiny insects about a millimetre long and are extremely difficult to identify even with the trained eye of an expert,” Agriculture Victoria’s lead insect diagnostician, Dr Mark Blacket said.

“We’ve developed a portable assay that gives rapid and accurate molecular identification of a suspect phylloxera in less than an hour — before now the process of identification could take up to a week.”

The assay is called LAMP (loop-mediated isothermal amplification) and can be carried out under field conditions using a portable device (a LAMP machine) that is about the size of a laptop.

“LAMP provides a simple method to confirm the identity of the pest in a vineyard and will save valuable time in decision making for biosecurity officers,” Dr Blacket said.

“We’ve shown it works with insects removed directly from roots, and on phylloxera obtained from traps placed underneath the vines.”

In addition to developing the new LAMP tool for DNA identification of phylloxera, the project team has also made a new discovery about the genetic diversity of the insects in Australia.

Their study collected phylloxera from across the King Valley wine region in Victoria where the genetic diversity of the pest was first studied in early 2000. Having carried out genetic studies, the team compared findings with a former study conducted 30 years ago. The new study identified 32 new strains of phylloxera.

“Genetic differences among phylloxera underlies the ability of certain strains to overcome resistance in rootstock cultivars,” Agriculture Victoria phylloxera research lead, Dr Catherine Clarke said.

“By knowing more about these genetically different strains and how they spread, we can provide better advice to growers about which rootstocks might be most suitable against phylloxera in their locality.”

Wine Australia General Manager Research, Development and Adoption Dr Liz Waters said the King Valley study indicates that changes in genetic variability of phylloxera could threaten the long-term stability of rootstock tolerance to the pest.

“The identification of new strains presents a number of challenges as each strain of phylloxera has the possibility of a different impact, particularly on tolerant and resistant rootstocks,” Dr Waters said.

If you are in a phylloxera-infested zone, farmgate hygiene and disinfestation are still vitally important in stopping the spread and inadvertently introducing a new strain to your vineyard.

Because resistant rootstocks are so critical for the impacted zones, the project also expanded the rootstock testing program which delivered new information on the resistance status of particular rootstocks to certain phylloxera strains.

“The rootstock 5C Teleki was screened against a panel of phylloxera strains, and a range of rootstocks were tested for resistance to the virulent strain G38, in the field and under controlled conditions.” Dr Waters said.

“This information will be fed into the Grapevine Rootstock Selector tool for easy referral.”

In studying disinfestation practices to limit the spread of phylloxera, the project has identified a product available from supermarkets that is effective for disinfestation of footwear and hand-held tools.

“Preventative biosecurity practices are the best form of defence,” Dr Clarke said.

“Current best practice suggests bleach is optimal for disinfestation of footwear and hand tools, to prevent phylloxera from travelling within and outside quarantine zones. However, it is not favoured by growers due to the hazards posed by chlorine odours and residues, and the damage it causes to footwear and tools,” she said.

“We found that Dettol, a readily available disinfectant, is a suitable substitute for bleach. It’s adding to the arsenal of tools that growers can use at the farm gate.”

Phylloxera is a hardy insect pest, but the research found Australian strains in general are sensitive to temperatures above 30ºC and below 18ºC.

It was also found that fermentation for 48 hours is sufficient to kill phylloxera in ferments with commercial yeast added, but not necessarily for ‘wild’ ferments.

Further research will firm up these results and determine how fermentation can be applied to disinfest grape products during winemaking.

A new research project co-funded by Agriculture Victoria and Wine Australia will build on the project’s findings to further improve the nation’s strategy to control phylloxera through more effective disinfestation procedures, validating the LAMP DNA surveillance tool for use in field detection, improving selection of resistant grapevine rootstocks, and looking at native biological control options, such as Australian plants and native insects.

“Phylloxera remains a challenge for the Australian wine sector,” Dr Clarke said. “But it’s a challenge that we’re continuing to build solutions to address and provide support to ensure the sector can manage.”

The final report for the project Integrated management of established grapevine phylloxera is available on Wine Australia’s website.

The National Centre for Farmer Health are excited that the innovative and exciting new chat-based platform ‘Campfire’ has now been up and running for three months.

During this time they have engaged with over 100 registered participants across a wide range of agricultural industries in Victoria, and reaching many more primary producers through our blogs, podcasts and social media messaging.

Campfire brings farmers together in a relaxed environment where people with shared interests can get together, listen to experts and peers, ask questions and pose solutions.

It helps farmers to improve their systems of work in order to better manage the demands and challenges of primary production, and to develop mentally healthy workplaces for farm owners, managers, workers and their families.

Bonfire events have attracted the most participation so far. These are held fortnightly on the Campfire platform on Wednesday evenings (from 7.30 pm) where farmers can hear from topic experts and participate in live Q&A.

The audience will soon be able to submit questions ahead of time, to be answered by our experts on the night. Keep your eye on the NCFH Facebook and Instagram pages about how to lodge your questions in advance or visit the Campfire page to leave your questions.

On alternate Wednesday evenings, farmers can join smaller Campfire Q&A discussions on work-related challenges relevant to them, including the topic of the previous week’s Bonfire.

The Farmer Health Campfire webpage is home to resources developed around the topics tackled so far, including podcasts, blogs and the link to access the Campfire platform. You can view past Bonfire conversations at any time, with current content covering:

• Working effectively in a family business
• Making your business more resilient to environmental extremes
• Strengthening your support team: farming safety consultants
