🎯 Topic: Nutrient Management Decisions in Cropping and Grazing Systems

This is a unique opportunity to learn from leading soil and agronomy experts and engage in practical discussions on best-practice nutrient management.

This is the launch of a new project, led by the Coorong Tatiara Local Action Plan in partnership with Meat & Livestock Australia, the Grains Research & Development Corporation  and the Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board. This initiative will demonstrate how strategic soil testing and targeted nutrient applications can enhance productivity and sustain the benefits of soil amelioration in cropping and grazing systems. Over the three year term of this project Dr Mel Fraser will deliver local demonstration sites and facilitate a Producer Demonstration Group, along with field walks and workshops across 2025 through to 2028.

We look forward to your participation and to working together to improve nutrient management strategies for long-term productivity and profitability.
