Farming, Carbon & Productivity Field Day

A field day at Mudgegonga on Wednesday, 7 June explored the options for reducing farm emissions and accessing supply chains looking for low-emissions intensity produce. Speakers also covered genomics, plant breeding, pasture species suitable for high rainfall areas, and improving soil health to capture productivity gains.
