From the start of the Peel-harvey study in 1976, scientific research and extension have been closely linked. Trials, some involving major drainage works, have been set up on about 30 farms and several field days and seminars have been held.
The Peel-Harvey Study Group anticipates that farmer acceptance of the Department of agriculture's recommendations will reduce the phosphorus input to the estuary by 30 to 40 per cent over the next three to five years. At the same time farmers will benefit from modified cultural practices better suited to the sandy soils of the coastal plain.
Skeleton Weed : The 1974 Narembeen Campaign, C R. Chambers
Skeleton Weed : The 1974 Narembeen Campaign, C R. Chambers
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Skeleton weed took an alarming, historic turn in Western Australia at the 1974 New Year.
After a decade of an almost complacent pattern—control of one or two small outbreaks annually by the Agriculture Protection Board— general alarm erupted with the discovery of big areas at Pithara and mainly Narembeen.
What followed was a massive movement and engagement of not only Department staff but also the farming community in an attempt to beat this outbreak.

THERE is nothing more pleasing to the eye than a well kept lawn, be it in a home garden or covering a sporting area, and under Western Australian conditions there is no reason why a good lawn or turf cannot be developed and maintained—always provided that there is enough water and proper care and attention.
Dingo Control In The Kimberley Region, J J. Freeth
Dingo Control In The Kimberley Region, J J. Freeth
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
With all the recent dramatic developments in irrigated agriculture in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, one is apt to forget the main wealth of the district still lies in its pastoral industry.
Man, in his efforts to obtain a living from the pastoral industry, has to contend with many pests which compete with pastoral activities.
Perhaps the most serious and certainly the most sagacious pest in this region is the dingo.
