Growers can pick up their free copy of the latest Drought Info research reports, including the August issue on feed grain storage options, at the Grains Research and Development Corporation site (number 82). 

The report provides detailed information on storage options and handling with tips for preserving quality, palatability and feed value during storage. July's report on water infrastructure, which details dam inspection and maintenance, and June's report on water pumping, transfer and storage options will also be available.  

Kondinin Group researchers, Ben White, Mark Saunders and Josh Giumelli, will be available at the GRDC site from 12pm until 1pm on both days to discuss past or upcoming research and assist growers with information that may help them improve farm practices and drive productivity. They will also be testing a Hagie self-propelled sprayer at the Dowerin site on Friday, with the results to be published later in the year. 

 

A growing series of reports, each focused on a key discussion point for the farming sector, brought to you by the Kondinin team.
