00:00This is a category two regulated paddock, yellow on the map. The native pastures are valuable
00:08to us. We have Michelina and D'Anthonia and kangaroo grass and some forbs. They are good
00:14grazing grasses and they hold well in the drought and we've always tried to conserve those but
00:21unfortunately the serrated and the lovegrass is so invasive that it will, it takes over.
00:28Inspire your best efforts of spot spraying. It's always been a battle with serrated tussock here
00:34and more recently lovegrass. We've spot sprayed paddocks as much as we can until the point where
00:42it's just overtaken the paddocks and it has to be sprayed out, burn spray operation and then sown
00:49down to crops and pasture and that's the intention with this paddock. It will eventually happen
00:56either serrated or the lovegrass become a mono culture and we'll have to spray it out. To go
01:02through that review process is maybe a waste of time. What we really need is somebody on ground
01:08to come and have a look at it, see what grasses are there, see what's happened in the past and
01:13to have some common sense about how to manage it in the future as far as spraying out the weeds
01:20go.
01:20The review process is probably flawed and that you do need on ground assessment from somebody hopefully
01:28that's got some common sense at the LLS needs more funding and more resources to roll this out.
01:37the review process is probably a lot of work.
01:39The review process is probably a lot of work.
01:41The review process is probably a lot of work that works if you want to work with
