13 October 2011 – Innovative Farming Options Field Day

Posted on 4 October, 2011 by Connecting Country

An ‘Innovative Farming Options Field Day’ is scheduled for 13 October 2011. It will be held at Ko-Warra Native Grasses Nursery (537 Echuca-Mitiamo Road, Echuca) between 9.30am – 4.00pm.

The field day will provide landholders and community members with the opportunity to:

  • hear from key note speakers regarding sustainable land practice options on farming land where irrigation has been significantly reduced, or ceased completely,
  • see on-farm trials and demonstrations of native grasses, agroforestry, sandalwood and  revegetation,
  • network with farmers and others to share experiences, lessons and advice.

The field day is delivered under the North Central CMA’s Regional Landcare Facilitator and Adopting Sustainable Farming Practices projects, and is supported by the Commonwealth Government’s Caring for our Country initiative and the Shire of Campaspe. This is a free event with lunch provided.

To register your interest in the field day (and for catering purposes) please RSVP to the North Central CMA by 5 pm Tuesday 11 October 2011 on (03) 5448 7124 or info@nccma.vic.gov.au.
