Guest: Ruby Wiese
Host: Hitashi Aggarwal
In this episode of Cultivating the Future, Hitashi Aggarwal chats with Ruby Wiese, who grew up on a cropping and livestock farm near Narrogin, WA, and is now completing her PhD in agricultural science at The University of Western Australia.
Ruby’s research is part of a project developing a new method for harvesting subterranean clover, a key pasture legume that buries its seeds just below the soil surface. With current vacuum harvesting methods facing challenges like inefficiency and soil disturbance, she’s exploring a swathing-based alternative. Her work focuses on finding the optimal timing for swathing to maximise seed recovery and minimise losses. It’s innovative research with the potential to reshape how this vital pasture seed is harvested.
