Join WANTFA
When you join the Western Australian No-Tillage Farmers Association (WANTFA) you’ll tap into a network of farmer members across Western Australia who share their experiences of no-tillage, and you’ll be supporting farmer-driven trials and research that pushes into new frontiers in our broadacre crop systems.
WANTFA is a state-based farmer organisation, so you can be sure we’ll keep our work relevant to your cropping systems and the unique growing conditions and challenges in Western Australia.
New members are always welcome and we appreciate your input and support. If you would like to become a member, contact WANTFA Administration or fill in the Membership Application Form.
Your support will allow WANTFA to continue developing no-till farming systems that will improve sustainability and allow us to remain farming profitably in the future.
