Tamworth – Team and Contacts
Tamworth EverGraze Proof Site research was conducted from 2007-2013 at on-farm locations across the North-West Slopes of NSW and at the Tamworth Agricultural Institute, NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI). The research team consisting of scientists, agronomists, livestock officers, economists, technical officers, producers and industry representatives was lead by Dr Sean Murphy (NSW DPI) with extension in the region led by Lester McCormick (NSW DPI). The Tamworth EverGraze Regional Advisory Group was enthusiastically chaired by Ray Quihampton and included producers, private agronomists, scientists, and representatives from Landmark and Namoi and Border Rivers-Gwydir Catchment Management Authorities. The group provided critical input to the interpretation of findings and development of messages to ensure their relevance to producers.
