Updates available at farmer meetings

SARDI farmer meetings provide a chance for a seasonal review of current research.

In addition to updates on the Minnipa Agricultural Centre, topics will include barley grass resistance, virtual fencing, seed priming, rhizoctonia, sandy soils, calcareous soils, weed management in lentils and best practice for early sowing.

Meetings will take place at Minnipa, Kimba, Piednippie, Port Kenny, Ceduna, Lock, Rudall and Cowell.
