SUMMARY:Forthside Open Day (Forth)
DESCRIPTION:The Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA) Vegetable Research Facility in Forthside is once again throwing open its doors for its open day\, which will be held this year on Wednesday 10 October. \nThe facility’s annual open day is a great chance for growers and agronomists to see research and development in action\, talk to researchers about their projects\, and network with other industry members who are interested in agronomy. \nAfter the field day finishes\, the TIA will be putting on a spit roast dinner from 4.00pm-6.00pm where you can grab a bite to eat and catch up with other attendees. \nThis year’s event is once again free to attend and will feature current agronomy trials being run by the TIA\, including research into: \n\nseed management;\nbiosecurity;\nsoil health; and\nstrip tillage.\n\nThe field day is being run in collaboration with the levy-funded VegNET project\, which is being delivered in Tasmania by RMCG. \nIf you haven’t been to the research facility before\, the TIA has created an virtual tour where you can explore the site before coming along to the open day. \nWe also published an article about last year’s open day in Vegetables Australia magazine\, so if you’d like to know what you can expect\, take a look at page 48 of the January/December edition (page 25 of the PDF). \nTo register to attend the event\, visit its Eventbrite page. If you’re after more information\, get in touch with Leonie White via e-mail at leonie.white@utas.edu.au.

SUMMARY:Chemical handling workshop (Mount Barker)
DESCRIPTION:VegPRO is the skills and training program for the Australian vegetable industry\, funded through the vegetable research and development levy and shaped by your input to deliver workshops that can upskill you and your staff to help your business succeed. \nIts face-to-face chemical handling workshops are designed for the vegetable industry to raise awareness of the potential hazards and risks of chemicals and how to apply them safely. \nFollowing a successful and highly popular series of workshops held around the country earlier in the year\, the VegPRO team is returning to South Australia to deliver a second chemical handling workshop for vegetable growers in and around Mount Barker. \nThis free course includes training about safe chemical handling\, storage and transport\, as well as education about the safe application of chemicals using correct personal protective equipment and understanding chemical labels. \nSuccessful participants become accredited with ChemCert Australia in the units AHCCHM303 Prepare and Apply Chemicals and AHCCHM304 Transport and Store Chemicals. \nTo register for this event\, which is being delivered by AUSVEG SA through the VegNET project in South Australia\, visit its Eventbrite page.

SUMMARY:Process mapping training (Leongatha)
DESCRIPTION:Process mapping is the act of defining the jobs done as part of your growing operation\, who in your operation is responsible for each jobs\, how jobs need to be completed and how you can gauge the success of each job being completed. \nBy sitting down and mapping out your processes from start to finish\, you can get a more thorough understanding of how each job contributes to the overall success of your business. \nImportantly\, process mapping can also help you properly assess how each job is done in your operation and find ways of doing it more effectively and more efficiently. \nBy mapping out each job and defining standard operating procedures (or SOPs)\, you can help to ensure that every task is done in the same way and to the same standard\, and you can more easily look for ways to improve the work done on your farm – improving your efficiency and saving you money. \nAs part of the levy-funded VegNET project being delivered in Gippsland\, the East Gippsland Food Cluster is offering free expert training in process mapping for vegetable growers and other industry members who are eager to improve their business practices and increase the efficiency of their work. \nThis half-day session includes morning tea and opportunities to network with other vegetable growers and local suppliers. \nTo register for this great opportunity to learn how to remove costs from your business\, get in touch with Industry Development Officer Shayne Hyman on 0417 330 081\, or e-mail shayne.hyman@eastgippslandfoodcluster.com.au.

SUMMARY:Negotiations course (Sale)
DESCRIPTION:VegPRO‘s free two-day negotiations and influencing workshop will be held in Sale later this month\, following a successful run of events in other growing areas since late 2017. \nVegPRO is a strategic levy investment project under the Hort Innovation Vegetable Fund that is delivering targeted\, tailored training for Australian vegetable growers. In this course\, industry members who deal with people on a day-to-day basis (whether it be with customers\, staff\, transport and logistics companies or anyone else) can learn a wide range of useful skills\, including: \n\nincreased confidence and effective communication;\nmanaging emotional and difficult conversations;\ncontrolling and influencing conversation to get better pricing outcomes;\npreparing effectively to combat pushes from buyers; and\nidentifying other people’s tactics and having a strategy for responses.\n\nThis levy-funded workshop has received great reviews from growers who have participated previously\, and is a valuable skills development opportunity for you or anyone else who represents your business in negotiations and other business discussions. \nPlease note that this iteration of the course has been split into separate weeks for scheduling purposes\, but attendees will still be required to attend both days to complete the course. \nTo register for this free workshop or to see more information\, click here. \nFor more information on the VegPRO project and how growers are shaping its training opportunities\, listen to the VegPRO edition of the InfoVeg Radio podcast.

SUMMARY:Sweetpotato pest workshop (Atherton)
DESCRIPTION:Using the Vegetable Fund\, Hort Innovation has invested in a project to coordinate the agrichemical needs of the Australian vegetable industry by identifying and prioritising potential gaps in growers’ access to the chemistry they need to maintain their productivity and protect their crops. \nThis information is then used to help growers in a number of ways\, including by directing R&D funding for crop protection purposes\, like Hort Innovation’s permit renewal and registration projects. \nPatrick Arratia\, who works at AUSVEG as the Project Coordinator – Agrichemical Pest Management Needs and Priorities\, will be visiting Mareeba and Atherton in early May to meet with sweetpotato and pumpkin growers to discuss his pest and disease prioritisation process. If you’re in the region and you grow those crops\, Patrick is eager to hear from you about your agrichemical needs! \nPumpkin\nTime/date: 2:00pm-4:30pm\, Wednesday 16 May 2018\nLocation: Mareeba Leagues Club\, Doyle St\, Mareeba QLD \nSweetpotato\nTime/date: 2:00pm-4:00pm\, Thursday 17 May 2018\nLocation: Atherton International Club\, 60 Kennedy Highway\, Atherton QLD \nThese workshops are being coordinated in collaboration with the Bowen Gumlu Growers Association as part of the levy-funded VegNET project being delivered in Bowen Gumlu and Far North Queensland. \nIf you’d like more information about these workshops or would like to RSVP to attend\, use the following contact details: \nBowen Gumlu Growers Association\nCherry Emerick\n0427 701 225\nidm@bowengumlugrowers.com.au \nAUSVEG\nPatrick Arratia\n0418 982 572\npatrick.arratia@ausveg.com.au \nIf you’re not in the region and would like to contribute to the project\, you can take part in the National Pest Survey\, which is also being used to inform Patrick’s work and helps the project identify the industry’s priority agrichemical needs for further action.
