Couch Grass Challenge
Has Couch grass been costing you money and headaches for years?
We now we’ve got 18 months of real, on-farm data to show what actually works (and what doesn’t).
The TopSoils Demonstration Site is opening the gate for a paddock walk and we don’t want you to miss it.
WHEN: Wednesday 16 September 2026
TIME: 4:00pm – 6:00pm
WHERE: 65 Bengworden Rd, Bairnsdale (just past Hines Hay)
This isn’t a sales pitch — it’s an honest conversation about what three different couch grass treatments have actually delivered over the last 18 months, including the real costs, not just the results.
Here’s the catch: The current crop only has a limited growth period left, and with the season ahead uncertain, a decision needs to be made on what happens next at the site. Rather than making that call in isolation, we want to put it to the group, walk through the seasonal outlook together and talk through the options as a group of growers, so the path we choose actually reflects what’s happening on the ground.
In the paddock, we’ll cover:
✅ How the three treatments have performed – results and cost realities
✅ What do we do next? Deciding the site’s path forward given the current crop’s limited growth window and the season ahead
✅ Managing grazing and feed on offer to strike the right balance
✅ Managing other weeds that have popped up as a result of controlling couch grass
