Tasmanian Soil Extension Program Workshop: Balancing Drainage and the Environment

Are you a farmer or land manager looking to enhance your farm's drainage systems and soil health? Join us for a workshop where experts will guide you through best practices in soil moisture management, paddock drainage design, and riparian restoration.

Presenters include:

• Reuben Wells (Ag Logic) on practical soil moisture management and drainage design
• Jesse Webster (NRM North) on reducing pathogens, nutrients, and sediment through improved fencing and stock management
• David Squibb (S&W Seed) on selecting the best plant species for stabilising soils
• Jamie Loane (Ag Drainage Solutions) on subsurface drainage solutions.

This workshop offers practical, science-based knowledge to improve farm productivity and reduce environmental impact. Weather permitting, some sessions will be conducted in the paddock for hands-on learning. You'll also have the opportunity to network with local experts and fellow landholders, and receive take-home resources and practical tips to implement on your farm.

Numbers are limited, registration is essential by Friday 18 October 2024

Lunch provided.
