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.
