Tailored Support for Graziers Provides More for Less Access to tailored extension support and the best available information on soils, climate, pasture and cattle management are just some of the benefits that Fitzroy graziers are receiving through the Queensland Government’s Grazing Practice Change Program. The $6 million program was announced in 2024 with Farmacist, Resource Consulting Services and Dawson Catchment Coordinating Association delivering projects in the Fitzroy. The program, which also operates in the Burdekin, Mackay Whitsunday and Burnett Mary regions, is supporting around 50 Fitzroy graziers to build their business resilience while reducing soil loss to catchment waterways. Graziers are also provided with opportunities to link to environmental markets and to connect with the wider grazing community through peer-to-peer engagement. The Grazing Practice Change Program is funded through the Queensland Reef Water Quality Program.
