To be held on Wednesday 3 July, this day-long event consists of a farm tour, breakout session workshop and lunch.

The tour has been planned specifically with youth in mind, to showcase new products and practices coming through the region. There will be a 'no silly questions' policy, so be sure to come prepared with all the questions you have been itching to ask!

There will be networking opportunities with peers and industry experts, as well as a structured workshop session.

Ticket price includes bus transfer, farm tour, lunch and workshop. 

Stock water demo site EOIs due soon

RGA Landcare is managing a project to assist in preparing landholders for future dry periods and how they can manage their available stock water effectively.

As part of this project they are looking for expressions of interest from landholders to establish demonstration sites that will showcase best stock water management practices. This may include the installation of stock troughs, fencing of dams or the installation of remote monitoring equipment.

The deadline to submit an EOI is next Monday 29 April.
