ATTENTION all Young Farmers – an opportunity not to be missed to meet with other young farmers, examine key factors in growing a successful crop and an opportunity to win a scholarship to Grain Growers’ Ltd Innovation Generation Conference.

The MSF Young Farmers’ Agronomy Expo is free and will encompass two separate day events, the first Tuesday, 7th February 2012 with a soils focus and the second on Tuesday, 28th February 2012 on plants.

Young farmers are encouraged to attend one or both of the days.

The SA Mallee Young Famers’ Network has developed the expo as a fantastic opportunity for young farmers to learn more about the fundamentals of soil and plant science as well as a way for young Mallee farmers to come together.

The “Seeding for Success” Agronomy Expo will be a chance for producers under 35 years of age to have access to some high quality speakers on soil science, plant physiology and how this relates to growing a successful crop.
