The Hughes family, Rangeland Quality Meats, joined with AgForce Queensland and industry representatives to celebrate the accreditation of their central and southern Queensland grazing properties through a partnership with Grazing BMP (Best Management Practices).
Rangeland Quality Meats Director Lachlan Hughes said Grazing BMP had allowed them to examine every aspect of their business to improve their practices on the ground and deliver the best possible product for the consumer.
“It’s encouraged us to measure what we’re doing and we’re using technology on farm to assist us to determine when to rotate our cattle through the paddock, predict long term carrying capacities and plan into the future,” he said.
“I see Grazing BMP as a way of getting on the front foot.”
AgForce BMP Manager Steve Lacey said there were now more than 1800 Queensland producers with more than 28 million ha who had adopted Grazing BMP.
