Dear Chestnut, Hazelnut and Walnut growers,
Mini-Technical Workshops for Nut Growers – Soil Moisture Assessment and Irrigation Decision-Making
Chestnuts Australia Inc – Hazelnut Growers of Australia Inc – Australian Walnut Industry Association Inc – through the Tri-Nut Brand – is pleased to offer the first round of MINI-TECHNICAL WORKSHOPS.
These workshops are being organised as part of a Tri-Nut Climate Smart Project funded through an Australian Government grant.
Also, the Mini-Technical Workshop program have been developed and offered as a result of industry input and requests.
There are NO costs for growers and/or staff to attend.
We are limiting the number of growers per event so that those attending can have hands on but if the number of registrations is larger we will look to run a second session at the relevant sites.
The first round of Workshops is being offered in Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania across July and August.
Workshops are being planned for New South Wales and Western Australia in September.
Attached are details about the Workshop Program, the dates and venues.
We have been able to engage irrigation specialists to present at the various venues.
Thanks to those growers who have been willing to support the activities by allowing access to their orchards and for digging soil pits.
We have selected a range of regions to offer maximum opportunity for growers to attend.
We appreciate for some there is some travel, but this will give growers to visit other growers that they may not have previously visited.
As we develop more MINI-TECHNICAL WORKSHOPS we will rotate around the regions in each of the States.
While the orchard that you visit may not grow the crop that you have the principles being presented are relevant to chestnuts and hazelnuts and walnuts.
Please use the registration form to register your attendance and return the form to Guy Rischmueller so that he can coordinate each workshop.
If you have any queries/issues, please do not hesitate to contact me on 0417 809 172.
We look forward to your support of these MINI-TECHNICAL WORKSHOPS.
Regards,
Trevor
