Workshop local issues including herbicide resistance and reducing fertiliser and chemical input while maintaining yield and expanding profit.
Speakers:
Joel Williams, Integrated Soils
Joel Williams is an international independent soil and plant health educator who is passionate about designing farming systems that prioritise the management of biology and crop nutrition. Joel’s expertise lies in explaining how plants grow, absorb nutrients, interact with microbes and produce secondary metabolites. Working holistically with plants will optimise plant growth, immunity and soil function. His insights offer a clear pathway to sustainable crop and pasture production.
Jake Wolki, Wolki Farms

Jake is revolutionising the way farmers share their produce and will captivate you with his quick wit and ability to challenge the status quo.
