Farmer workshops
There are a number of farmer workshops planned for 2019.
The department works with a range of partners to provide workshops for farmers to help them make the most of seasonal conditions.
These can be part of an ongoing program or arranged specifically if the need arises.

Since 1 May 2018, Agriculture Victoria has delivered over 200 dry seasonal conditions activities and events across the state.
