Where we will showcase the latest management practices on our soil carbon demonstration site, along with informative talks from a range of speakers.
During the day, we will do a paddock walk and delve into four key topics: options for managing subsoil acidity, carbon project and financing alternatives for landowners, optimising grazing management using Agriwebb & Cibolabs, and enhancing seed mixes for carbon sequestration and ruminant nutrition benefits.
Light lunch and drinks will be provided. Please inform us of any dietary restrictions or allergies.
