Farmers urged to sow flowers
Farmers were urged today to sow flowers such as knapweed, yarrow and bird's-foot trefoil in field margins after research showed wild areas with flowering plants provided the best boost for wildlife.
Limited dry sowing has commenced in the Upper North, with farmers in many districts likely to commence sowing crops regardless of rainfall during the latter part of April, according to the latest PIRSA Crop and Pasture Report Summary.
