With warmer conditions ahead and rainfall forecasts varying across NSW and Queensland, now is the time to think about your summer feeding program. And for a limited time, Advantage Feeders is giving NSW and QLD farmers the chance to win a 3800HD Grain Feeder.

If there’s one thing Australian farmers know, it’s that the weather doesn’t always follow the forecast. One season you’re managing dry paddocks and declining feed quality. The next, you’re trying to make the most of a good run of green feed.

Conditions change. Feed changes. Livestock needs change.

Having the right feeding equipment gives you the flexibility to adapt, whatever the season brings!

What’s the Summer Outlook for NSW and Queensland?

The latest Bureau of Meteorology long-range forecast, released on 29 October 2026, points to a warmer-than-average summer period, with the possibility of above-average rainfall across parts of eastern Australia.

For November 2026 to January 2027, the Bureau is forecasting:

• Above-average rainfall is likely across central and southern Queensland and northern NSW, with probabilities ranging from 60% to more than 80% in some areas.
• Warmer-than-average daytime temperatures are very likely across almost all of Australia.
• Unusually hot days are an increased risk across parts of NSW and Queensland.
• Rainfall remains variable, with some areas likely to receive more than others.

While the prospect of additional rain is welcome, it doesn’t necessarily mean an easy season ahead.

In NSW, the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development has forecast that drought conditions could persist across parts of the state through December, even if conditions improve in some regions.

And in Queensland, producers know all too well that a good rainfall forecast doesn’t guarantee consistent pasture growth across every property.

Whether the coming months bring plenty of green feed, a dry spell or a bit of both, being prepared to adjust your feeding program will be important.

Make the Most of Every Season

A good feeding program isn’t just about getting through the dry. It’s about making the most of the feed you’ve got, throughout the year.

When pastures dry off: As summer progresses and pasture quality declines, supplementary feeding can help maintain livestock condition and performance. Having control over how stock access feed can make a real difference when you’re trying to manage your available feed supplies.

When the season turns: If the forecast rain arrives and pasture growth improves, feeding priorities can change. Strategic supplementation can help producers make better use of available green feed and support livestock performance.

When conditions are somewhere in between: Not every season fits neatly into wet or dry. Sometimes it’s about bridging the gap between feed supplies, managing varying pasture quality or moving stock between paddocks.

That’s where flexibility matters. Advantage Feeders are designed to give farmers greater control over their feeding programs, with the flexibility to adapt as conditions change.

Control the feed: Our 3-way restriction system allows you to manage how livestock access feed, giving you greater control over feeding.

Set it up your way: With a range of accessories available, you can configure your feeder to suit your livestock, feeding program and the job at hand.

Put it where you need it: Move your feeder from paddock to paddock, mob to mob and season to season.

From maintaining condition through dry summer months to supporting performance when green feed is abundant, Advantage Feeders are built to work with the way you farm. Because you can’t control the weather. But you can be better prepared for whatever it brings!
