National Variable Rate Technology Workshops Wrap-up

Saturday 24, Jun 2023

Thank you to everyone who attended the GRDC & SPAA VRT Workshops across Australia. Yesterday, marked the final workshop in the series which kicked off in Tatyoon, VIC in February 2023 and concluded in Green Range, WA!

A special thanks go to the facilitators, who spent a stunning amount of time pulling together the content for the workshops - Colin Hinze from Pinion Advisory, Reuben Wells from Aglogic, Tim Neale from Data Farming, Bindi Isbister from Agrarian Management, and Alice Butler from FARMANCO.

We would also like to acknowledge the growers who participated and shared their valuable experiences during the workshops. Their generosity in offering time and knowledge was a big highlight of the workshops. A special mention goes to Mick Caughey and Phil & Tom Longmire, who presented at the recent workshops in Western Australia. It was great to see peer-peer learning in action!

Finally, thank you to the grower groups who partnered with SPAA to deliver and tailor the workshops with local and relevant content including Southern Farming Systems, Upper North Farming Systems, Mackillop Farm Management Group, AgriWest, MADFIG & Broomehill Cropping.

Stay tuned for more exciting PA extension and adoption initiatives on the horizon.
