    Stockfarm October 2024

    Agriculture is regarded as an excellent vehicle for poverty alleviation. But is the wool industry’s farmer development programme a good example of how to effectively unlock the vast potential in the deep rural areas of South Africa? In the October issue of Stockfarm we look at communal sheep production, the unique challenges this sector faces, and initiatives by the National Wool Growers’ Association to meet these challenges. This month’s magazine also includes a special focus on the Livestock Registering Federation’s annual Stockman School, with articles that serve as companion to the topics to be discussed at the event. Also look forward to the following articles: • Water use, legislation, and the livestock producer. • Community structures as guardians against stock theft. • KZN communal farmers’ concerns in the spotlight. • RPO North West takes the bull by the horns. • Statutory levy versus RPO voluntary contributions. • Zero VAT rating for IQF chicken: Is it feasible? • Charl Saunderson: Veld improvement is a 100-year marathon • Cultivate maize for livestock feed. • The significance of lupins as flush feed for sheep. • Grassland Society of SA’s 2024 Congress feedback. • Dairy calf rearing versus consumer demands. • The benefits of following the Bonsmara system. • Feedback on the 54th annual SASAS Congress. • Three-day stiffsickness: A threat in summer. • Trichomonosis: If you don’t test, you won’t know. • ‘Reside’ tested in Land Claims Court. • And much more!
