Boosting Productivity in Southern WA: MLA’s Producer Demonstration Sites
When it comes to farming, productivity is key. In southern Western Australia, producers are facing unique challenges that require innovative solutions. That’s where Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) steps in with their Producer Demonstration Sites (PDS) projects. These projects are not only helping producers boost productivity in the region but also tackle key production challenges head-on.
What are Producer Demonstration Sites?
Producer Demonstration Sites (PDS) are collaborative projects that bring together farmers, researchers, and industry experts to trial new technologies and practices in a real-world setting. These projects aim to demonstrate the practical benefits of adopting these innovations and provide valuable insights for producers looking to improve their operations.
