Precision Agriculture Symposium
2018-09-10 - 2018-09-11 | Adelaide Oval, War Memorial Drive, North Adelaide, SA, 5006, Australia
Learn about the latest developments in precision agriculture across broadacre, horticulture, viticulture and livestock production at the 21st Precision Agriculture Symposium in Australasia.
Held over 10 and 11 September 2018 at the Adelaide Oval in South Australia, the Symposium’s program is designed to help you get the most out of your farm or agricultural business, and will showcase why Australia is leading the way in the precision agriculture research and development space.
The full line-up of speakers will cover a huge range of topics, including:

Future of farming
Remote sensing
Digital agriculture and data anlsysis
Soil pH mapping
Machine learning
Aerial imagery

Leading Australian researchers and advisors using and studying precision agriculture technology will show how it can be used to improve management across many agricultural industries, and growers will also be discussing their experiences of how precision agriculture has improved their farming practices.
AUSVEG’s Andrew Shaw will also be at the Symposium to present and discuss the uptake of sustainable production techniques in Australian horticulture, using his experience and knowledge gained by delivering the levy-funded EnviroVeg program.
If you’re interested in learning more about the speakers and topics being covered across the two days of the Symposium, you can access the full program online.

Forthside Open Day (Forth)
2018-10-10 10:00 - 18:00 (Australia/Hobart) | Forthside Vegetable Research Facility, 124 Forthside Rd, Forthside, TAS, 7310, Australia
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.
The 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.
After 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.
This year’s event is once again free to attend and will feature current agronomy trials being run by the TIA, including research into:

seed management;
biosecurity;
soil health; and
strip tillage.

The field day is being run in collaboration with the levy-funded VegNET project, which is being delivered in Tasmania by RMCG.
If 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.
We 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).
To 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.
