A recent report detailing landscape conditions in the Western Region has revealed a

number of positive trends which would be to

the benefit of farmers and community members alike.
For more than a decade, Western Local Land
Services and its predecessors have been monitoring landscape conditions using dust as an
indicator.
The most recent data to become available is
from the DustWatch Network and Roadside-

Survey 2016.
The main points to
emerge from the report were:
- Best management practices are increasing
in the cropping lands of the south-west of the
region.
- Ground cover levels were better than expected.
- That the land was managed more sustainably.
- That the level of collaboration is high and
effective in delivering knowledge, skills and
changes to behaviour.
Manager of Land Services with the Local
Land Services Western Region Russell Grant,
was pleased to see the positive results and has
encouraged all landholders and community
members to read the report.
The results from this report demonstrate
that investing in best practice farming methods, including stubble retention and chemical
fallow, can significantly reduce the amount of
valuable topsoil lost through wind erosion,
Mr Grant said.
