A series of expert-led workshops across regional Victoria, including in Kyabram, will educate farmers on practices for profitable farming and climate resilience.

Sponsored by the Drought Support Package, these workshops will bring together industry leaders to explore innovative solutions for forage growth, herd management, weather resilience and technology adoption.

Consultant and ruminant nutritionist Laura Tweddle has created this series, bringing in expert colleagues in each region to provide positive and constructive information and advice.

The aim of the series is to give attendees some tools and information to take away that might help in planning for climate variation in their farming business.

The workshops include expert speakers Ms Tweddle, from Aggies without Borders, meteorologist Jane Bunn, and agronomy specialists Damien Adcock and Phil White.

Consultants Steve Ralstan and Donna Woerz will join the Kyabram event, which will be held at Kyabram Fauna Park from 10am on Tuesday, July 22, with the focus on feed value comparison, business planning and seasonal insights..

There will be tailored discussions on region-specific climate drivers, paddock performance and feed strategies.

Topics include weather forecasting, fertility management, digital farming tools, with business planning your takeaway message with Jessica Connor Kennedy to make the most of your time.

Ms Tweddle said the workshops were about turning today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities.

“We’re bridging the gap between traditional practices and the tech-driven future of farming,” she said.

“Understanding local weather drivers is key to resilience, and farmers will leave with actionable strategies for their unique conditions.”

The Kyabram workshop is free to attend in-person or online. Secure your spot via Eventbrite. Questions for Jane Bunn can be submitted during RSVP.
