Quickchecks is an NRM Monitoring tool for woolgrowers. It is designed to be used as part of a facilitated group, or by individual producers. It can also be of value to farmers with other enterprises. The manual contains six NRM modules that can be selected for monitoring:

  1. GRAZING PADDOCKS – this module looks at 16 key measures of pasture health and is a practical way to measure and compare different paddocks.
  2. SOIL HEALTH – 12 measures of soil health including chemical, biological and structural aspects are examined in this module.
  3. WOODY VEGETATION – this module looks at 11 measures of the health of woody vegetation and can be used on both existing and revegetated areas.
  4. WATERCOURSE AREAS – 4 key measures of watercourse health are examined in this module which are useful for stream and creek regeneration works.
  5. BIRDS – bird counts in targeted areas are covered in this module, which can be a useful way to track population changes over time.
  6. PADDOCK PRODUCTION – this module measures carrying capacity over the year in DSE days/ha and DSE days/ha/100 mm rain. This allows you to relate paddock production to issues such as ground cover and soil health.
