Farmer workshops
Farmer workshops are available on how to make the most of seasonal conditions.
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.
To seek more general information about events and to discuss if it is possible to hold a session in your area, please either call your local office or departmental contact, or 136 186.
