Making research-based ryegrass choices

In this episode, South Gippsland dairy farmer Graeme Nicoll joins Mikaela Baker (Dairy Australia) and Kevin Smith (Agriculture Victoria) to share practical insights into how he selects the most productive and profitable ryegrass for his farm using Dairy Australia’s Forage Value Index (FVI).

They discuss how the FVI ratings for Annual, Perennial and Italian ryegrasses are determined using independent data from Pasture Trial Network sites around Australia, and how the FVI continues to evolve.

To find out more about the FVI and access the 2025 data, visit Forage Value Index | Dairy Australia.

This episode features a conversation with:

Mikaela Baker, Dairy Australia Extension Advisor & Farm Engagement Lead
Professor Kevin Smith, Professorial Fellow, Agriculture Victoria Research and Professor of Pasture Science, The University of Melbourne
Graeme Nicoll, dairy farmer, Fish Creek
