Farmers looking to reduce inputs, grow more with less moisture and increase profitability will get access to world-best knowledge at one of Australia’s premier farming conferences next month.
Leading soil researcher and regenerative agriculture advocate Joel Williams will headline the 17th annual Vic No-Till conference in Shepparton on July 18 and 19.
‘Undercover Downunder’ is the focus of the conference, which will also feature leading farmers including Marrar’s Dan Fox, who won an innovation award at last year’s Kondinin Farmer of the Year awards.
Other speakers are 2018 Nuffield Scholar Grant Pontifex, whose family farms on the Yorke Peninsula and Kangaroo Island in South Australia; Vic No-Till president and 2015 Coles Weekly Times Farmer of the Year Grant Sims from Pine Grove, Victoria; and Wimmera farmer Tim Rethus, whose family enterprise is well known for its early adoption of farming technology including no-till and controlled traffic farming.
