SPREAD SMARTER, GROW BETTER!A Practical Workshop for Smarter Fertiliser Use &amp; Spreader Calibration Workshop Description:Are you making the most of your fertiliser investment?Join us for an informative and hands-on workshop designed to help farmers make more informed fertiliser decisions, improve application accuracy, and maximise return on investment. This workshop brings together expert insights and practical demonstrations to help you better understand your input costs - and how that understanding can lead to smarter, more profitable decisions over time. Morning Session: Fertiliser - Productivity, Profitability and PossibilityLed by fertiliser and soils consultant Wayne Pluske (Equii, from WA), this session will challenge you to take a fresh look at how fertiliser fits into your business. Through real-world examples and guided discussion, you’ll explore:<ul><li>What are you really aiming to achieve with fertiliser?</li><li>Is your current approach delivering what you want?</li><li>What’s the actual return on your fertiliser investment?</li><li>How can on-farm testing and clear metrics drive better profitability?</li></ul> Walk away with a clearer understanding of whether improving your fertiliser use is worth pursuing - and how to do it.There will also be a short session on how fertiliser practices impact farm greenhouse emissions, covering:<ul><li>drivers for reducing greenhouse gas emissions</li><li>overview of emissions from cropping</li><li>how fertiliser practices can improve emissions performance.</li></ul> Afternoon Session: Precision in Practice - Optimising Your Fertiliser SpreaderUneven fertiliser application is more common than many farmers realise - with most spreaders delivering inconsistent distribution across the paddock. This leads to under- or over-fertilisation in different zones, impacting crop performance, farm profitability and the environment.This hands-on demonstration, led by renowned Accu-Spread specialist Russell Nichol, will show how understanding and fine-tuning your spreader can lead to better coverage, increased efficiency, better production and reduced emissions from cropping. Russell will share his knowledge and demonstrate how to test and calibrate fertiliser spreaders from local farms in this afternoon session. What you'll learn:<ul><li>Techniques for assessing how accurately your spreader is distributing fertiliser</li><li>A side-by-side look at performance before and after calibration</li><li>Step-by-step guidance on how to calibrate your spreader for more uniform application</li><li>Practical ways to boost the efficiency of your spreading operation</li><li>Easy equipment adjustments to improve overall performance</li><li>How consistent spreading supports better yields and environmental outcomes</li></ul>This interactive session will give you the tools and knowledge to get more from your equipment - and your fertiliser investment.This must-attend workshop is packed with practical insights to help farmers unlock the true effectiveness of fertiliser use - with a clear focus on profitability and precision application. 🍽️ FULLY CATERED
