Ag Innovation Day 2024
Event description
The Ag innovation day is back once again at the Hagley Farm school on the 18th April 2024.
We'll have a range of exhibitors on the day including indoor spatial exhibitors and machinery on the oval.
We'll also have a range of machinery out in the paddock for you to see in action.
This year we'll be joined by the AUSVEG Onions comms and extension project to deliver an update on white rot research. We'll also have the team from Beanstalk Ag and the Innovation Hub to discuss their work supporting Tasmanian growers to examine and adopt Ag tech.
It promises to be another fantastic event. Book in now to let us know you're coming!
