Come along, hear what's worked for others during the drought, and pick up ideas for spring and beyond.

Cam Nicholson from Nicon Rural will discuss learnings and successful strategies that farmers have used to manage the drought and prepare their businesses for future challenges.

Agronomist Tom Batters from Hewitt and Whitty Ballarat will cover key decisions for a successful spring, including nitrogen fertiliser use and maximising fodder production.

Meals provided, drinks at bar prices. There will be plenty of time to catch up with others over dinner.

Registration is essential for catering purposes.

This workshop is brought to you by Agriculture Victoria and WestVic Dairy as part of the Farm Business Resilience Program. The FBR Program is jointly funded through the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund and the Victorian Government's Sustainability Fund.
