Hort360_Soils Conservation DOWNLOAD THE FLYER

Practical hands-on field day for all Horticulture growers

Are you a horticulture grower in Central Queensland? Join Growcom and Fitzroy Basin Association at Rossmoya for an innovative, practical field day on advanced soil conservation and farm resilience practices in June.

With recent record breaking rainfalls and several severe weather events throughout Queensland and NSW, there’s never been a better time to assess farm resilience, sediment management practices and soil health.

Brought to you jointly by Growcom and Fitzroy Basin Association, this field day is for horticulture growers – all commodities.
