Northern Growers is hosting a 'Thinkers in Residence' event on March 20th in Orroroo, South Australia to discuss new ideas for reducing financial pressures and personal stress faced by farmers dealing with tough soils, high input costs, and volatile grain markets. Presentations will be given by representatives from New Tech Fertilisers, Hi-Tech Ag Solutions, Unique Grain Management, and Eagle Vale Farming Systems on topics such as soil biodiversity, sustainability, optimizing rather than maximizing production, destination marketing, and a new initiative called Devotion Foods. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP by March 16th and submit any specific questions in advance.
