SUMMARY:Webinar: Lessons learnt from a career as a Farm Adviser
DESCRIPTION:David Harbison (D R Agriculture) will reflect on his experiences and pass on his thoughts of ‘key lessons’ he learnt in his younger days\, and how those lessons set a path to where he is today. His passion for soil and plant science is a key strength. \nThat passion remains strong\, as does his relationships with many professionals and soil scientists which are a constant resource for David and provide a connection to the current research. The value of those relationships is critical to “getting the best out of experts” and David encourages all soil scientists and experts listening to be open to helping our ‘next generation’. Social discussion is as important as the detail. \nYou MUST register to attend the FREE webinar and/or gain access to the recording if you are unable to attend on the day.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Risky business – risk management 101
DESCRIPTION:Let’s be real. Even though farming is who we are and what we do\, there’s no doubt it’s a risky business to be in. \nIf your farm could talk what would it say about risk? From the weather\, to production risks\, finances\, family succession\, workplace health and safety\, and staff – a potential risk is always just around the corner. \nBut what if there was a way to lower this risk?
