Disc Seeding In Zero-Till Farming Systems -A review of technology and paddock issues.
Disc seeding in zero-till farming systems is a 226 page review that provides an in-depth look at the issues of selecting and using disc seeding technologies. It reviews the current disc seeding technologies and their components, but also highlights their interactions with soil and residue.
This book also examines the paddock management implications of optimising disc seeder performance, integrating best practice such as controlled traffic and inter-row sowing. It offers a wealth of experience from leaders in the field and gives growers across Australia —and internationally—a practical guide to assist with optimising the field operations of disc seeders in zero-till context.
To Purchase the Book ($40.00 plust postage and handling) please contact Adrienne Brown on 08 64887465 or email admin@wantfa.com.au |

Post Seeding Meckering Field Walk
In July each year WANTFA holds a Post Seeding Field Walk at the WANTFA Meckering Technology Demonstration Site 135km east of Perth on the Great Eastern Highway. This Field Walk gives growers and researchers an early look at the trials and research being conducted at the site for the season. There is a chance to look at early performance and follow the progression of the trials at the WANTFA Spring Field Day in September, and agronomists can preview trials so they can encourage their clients to attend the major field day.
For more information contact Mike Ashworth, WANTFA Research Manager, 96227557. |

Other Events
Throughout the year, WANTFA holds a series of informative seminars and field walks on a range of no till and conservation cropping topics. If we arrange international and interstate visitors, we may also arrange informal meetings so our members can gain access to their information first hand. Visiting speakers include farmers, agronomists, representatives of government agencies and scientists. The events are held in regional centres to give farmers easy access to the information. Watch this space for future events as they become available.
For further information phone Kaye Phillips-Webb Communications Manager on 0427 223 395. |

Regional Workshops and Bus Tours
WANTFA will be holding a series of regional workshops across all agricultural areas of WA to highlight specific technical issues and to assist growers to make the move to the no-till farming system. Workshops are targeted at grower groups and offer industry partners the opportunity to directly communicate key messages to targeted audiences of farmers and agribusiness. Workshops will be held both North and South of Western Australia.
Workshops and Bus Tours are scheduled for May and October 2010.
