SUMMARY:TAS: Strengthen your farm's future with a Farm Business Resilience Plan
DESCRIPTION:What’s your plan for the next drought\, fire\, flood\, biosecurity incident or downturn? \n​You can’t predict the next setback to hit your farm\, but you can prepare for it so that your productivity and profitability are protected. \nThe Resilient Farming Tas Program allows you to take a step back from the day-to-day and focus on the big picture. \nResilient Farming Tas and Tasmanian Women in Agriculture are collaborating to run a series of three half day face-to-face workshops in Launceston. The workshops will be open to all farmers (any gender). Workshop attendees must be enrolled in the RFT Program to benefit from the opportunities offered. \nWorkshops will be focused on identified key areas: \n\nWorkshop 1: Digital Literacy and Cyber Security; Produce Marketing and the Art of Negotiation; Successful Grant Applications\nWorkshop 2: Farm Biosecurity and Carbon without the Jargon\, including emissions reporting.\nWorkshop 3: Topic will be set with the participants based on the group’s interests.

SUMMARY:Optimising Fertiliser Use: Demonstration Trial Walk in North Motton (TAS)
DESCRIPTION:Join PotatoLink for a field walk at the PotatoLink Tasmanian demonstration site\, where they are exploring ways to optimise fertiliser practices for potato crops. The demonstration is focused on: \n\nEvaluating the impact of different fertiliser rates and timings (pre-spread\, at planting\, and top-dress) on potato crop yield (marketable tuber weight)\, quality (size distribution\, defects and specific gravity).\nCompare a crop sampling-based fertiliser program with a conventional fertiliser program to determine their effectiveness in optimising fertiliser use and profitability over a single growing season.\n\nDuring the field walk\, you will hear about the strategies employed\, view and discuss the crop sampling results to date and understand how these results are shaping the fertiliser program\, and its impact on productivity. \nYou can read more about the demonstration trial here. \nContact: \nFor more information\, please contact Tim Walker\, Regional Representative\, PotatoLink\, tim.walker@potatolink.com.au or 0439 333 811 or Sophia Thach\, Applied Horticultural Research\, sophia.thach@ahr.com.au or 0413 937 313. \nThe field walk will kick off with a BBQ lunch\, registration is essential for catering purposes.

DESCRIPTION:Keen to cut the costs of inputs and produce more sustainably? \nWell\, the presenters are keen to assist potato\, vegetable and onion growers and agronomists who have been struggling with these issues. \nThe session will be informative and interactive with a focus on how growers can get the most out of the inputs they are applying\, while minimising waste\, and maintaining yields and quality. \nSo\, come along with any questions\, concerns and comments and be prepared to share those with fellow growers and agronomists during the workshop. \nTopics include: \nDoris and Tim\, during their nutrition presentation\, will focus on: \n\nTiming of application aligned to crop growth stages\nRemoval rates\nMonitoring and sampling\nMethods of application\nNutrient function\n\nMarek and Tim will head the irrigation discussion\, focusing on: \n\nUse of ag tech – probes and weather stations for monitoring soil moisture and other conditions: How do they work? What data is obtained? How do you interpret the data? How can they help with decision making?\n\nAlso\, there will be a discussion on different needs for different crops and varieties. \nAnd we will also hear leading growers’ experiences with the above topics.

SUMMARY:Tasmania: Retail Negotiation Skills Workshops
DESCRIPTION:To expand your skills in managing commercial sales relationships with retailers\, AUSVEG is hosting two-day Retail Negotiation Skills Workshops in 2024\, in collaboration with NextGen’s Neil Rechlin. \n  \nMost growers are very good at negotiating the price of farm equipment and understanding the latest technology. However\, it is often not the case when dealing with retailers. Effective engagement will ensure growers get a fairer return for their hard work to grow fresh produce. \nAUSVEG\, in partnership with NextGen\, recently conducted a training course in Melbourne for growers to learn retailer negotiation skills. \nPresenter Neil Rechlin says that many growers receive the contract details from the retailer\, but often don’t understand them\, or the strategy that underpins the discussion. To be in a better position\, grower knowledge of what drives retailer behaviour and their tactics goes a long way to improving the outcome for the grower. \nNeil says there is consistent poor behaviour from retailers because they face no punishment\, and no consequences. The ability to police and fine retailers for poor behaviour would be a significant step forward that can only be achieved through making the Food and Grocery Code of Conduct mandated. Under the legal framework\, the current voluntary code does not allow for fines to be levied against retailers for a breach. \n“It really does come down to the supplier understanding where they can benefit\, what the change of behaviour from their trading partnership should look like\, and then being in the position to start enforcing that. Many fear upsetting the retailer and pushing their rights too far and risking the contract.” \nFor the past seven years Neil has led the NextGen involvement in the Grocery Code of Conduct\, working with manufacturers\, industry bodies and the ACCC to continue the evolution of the Code in Australia. Neil has a passion for helping suppliers in their sometimes challenging engagements\, with the major retailers and wholesalers. \nDownload the course details pdf here: Negotiation_AusVeg_23 \nPlease indicate your Expression of Interest by emailing publicaffairs@ausveg.com.au. Don’t forget to include which event you are interested in attending. \n
