DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES LEGUME WORKSHOP
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES LEGUME WORKSHOP
Brock Dembowski, Extension Officer Sustainable Farming Systems, from DAF will be holding a legume pest workshop with Hugh Brier next week. If growers currently grow or are considering growing soy beans or mung beans this workshop will cover off on everything to do with insect control in order to maximise income from beans. Both sessions will have an infield bug ID activity so that growers can do checks themselves on farm. First workshop is being held on Tuesday 15th October 12pm at Ayr showgrounds followed by site visit to Frank Mugica’s soy bean crop. A second workshop is being held on Wednesday 16th October 8am at 228 Kirknie Road (Marano soy beans) followed by site visit to Linton mung beans. If anyone is interested in attending either of these workshops please text to Brock on 0467 819 592 with “Yes” and either 15 or 16 for the date your attending. Lunch provided on 15th smoko on 16th.

COMMUNITY RALLY – A CALL TO ALL FARMERS
COMMUNITY RALLY – A CALL TO ALL FARMERS
Firstly a big thank to members who took the time to attend the rally in Townsville this morning. Rally was well represented by a broad spectrum of agriculture with some attendees travelling considerable distance to ensure the message was loud and clear in voicing our opposition to the proposed additional reef protection laws currently under review by the incumbent Qld Government. It was a magnificent site with a sea of green challenging the State Government to DEFER THE BILL, CHECK THE SCIENCE, STOP HARMING QLD FARMERS. Guest speakers included Dale Last local member for the Burdekin, Senator Susan Macdonald, Dr Peter Ridd, Mackay Regional Councillor and Green Shirts Movement coordinator Martin Bella and a passionate Agforce CEO, Michael Guerin.
There was an extensive media presence at the event including Channels 9 & 7, The Mercury, Townsville Bulletin.
