SUMMARY:Hort Innovation Impact Update
DESCRIPTION:As production costs and challenges increase\, it’s more important than ever to support growers with the knowledge\, tools and insights they need to make informed decisions and remain viable and competitive. \nHort Connections is a place that brings all of this together. For the first time\, Hort Innovation is helping more growers get there by subsidising 100 growers to attend Hort Connections in Adelaide in June through free grower tickets\, along with support for travel and accommodation. This is so they can access the research and development insights and capability‑building opportunities that inform confident\, practical decisions on farm in a fast‑changing environment. \nCentral to this opportunity is the inaugural Hort Innovation Impact Update – an event designed specifically for growers that will take place the afternoon before Hort Connections – and registrations are now open! \nHosted by Hort Innovation\, the Impact Update will bring together growers\, researchers and industry leaders to share practical insights\, real‑world outcomes and examples of innovation that are helping growers navigate current challenges and plan for the future. \nAcross the three‑hour event\, growers will: \n\nHear directly from growers who are turning R&D into real‑world outcomes\nExplore practical tools and innovations they can apply on farm\nTake part in open discussion and knowledge exchange\nSee how Hort Innovation’s investments are delivering impact from DNA to plate

SUMMARY:SA: Building Soil Health in practice: Cover Crops & Managing Constraints (Penfield)
DESCRIPTION:Join in Penfield for a field walk focused on improving soil health for potato production in South Australia. \nThe field walk will take place at Mitolo Family Farms\, where cover crops are integrated into potato rotations to build soil health and improve system resilience. \nWe’ll hear from guest speaker Julie Finnigan (Muirs)\, who will share practical insights into adopting cover crops\, managing soil constraints and developing more resilient\, productive farming systems. Attendees will gain actionable knowledge and real-world examples that can be applied on-farm. \nTopics: \n\n\nCover cropping in practice: Integrating cover crops into potato rotations to improve soil structure and moisture retention\, with focus around species selection and disease risk. \n\n\nManaging soil constraints: Practical strategies for managing sodicity and salinity in sandy soils. \n\n\nBuilding soil health: Improving water holding capacity\, soil structure\, and organic matter through application of ameliorants. \n\n\nHealthy soil biology: Supporting healthier soils and reducing soilborne disease through improved biological function. \n\n\nThis is a valuable opportunity to connect with fellow growers and industry members\, share experiences\, and walk away with practical strategies to improve soil health and reduce input costs.

SUMMARY:SA: Virginia - Level Up Hort Roadshow
DESCRIPTION:Costs are high\, inputs are tight\, and the goalposts keep moving. The Level Up Hort Roadshow is delivering a short and sharp session in a region near you\, focused on where you can build margin back into your business. \nThe benchmark data shows us where profit is built and eroded in vegetable businesses\, and unless you look at your numbers closely\, you may not see what you’re leaving on the table. \nJoin as they walk through the four main profit drivers and turn insights into action\, powerful solutions\, and how to apply them to your own business. No numbers shared in the room\, no judgement\, just a clearer picture of where your margin is bleeding out\, and what to do about it.
