Hi All,

BPS and SRA will be hosting Shed Meetings later this month. Upon requests and support from growers to move them earlier than our traditional November time slot, we have brought them forward. Most growers felt that earlier in the season was a better time than at the end. We will be presenting info on the plant breeding process both at a statewide and local level, and discussing the interactions between genome (variety), climate and management, as well as an overview of potential agronomic management constraints and how they can be addressed such as weed control, variety selection and mix, nutrition and irrigation. We will also have some samples of pest and disease damage to show growers the symptoms so they can identify these issues.

Growers are welcome to attend any of the shed meetings if their local meeting does not suit, and as always, each of you are welcome to attend one or two meetings.

The list below will be sent with our upcoming newsletter, as well as growers will be messaged the day before their meeting.

Thanks

Rob and Anthony
