WMG Seasonal Updates Event
On Tuesday, 21 March the most topical and challenging conversations will be discussed at the West Midlands Group (WMG) Seasonal Updates event. This event focuses on agriculture's future horizon, delivering information that is likely to impact farming businesses in the coming three to five years.
A wide range of speakers will provide local farmers with key industry insights, emerging trends, and new opportunities relevant to the region.
The expansive list of key industry representatives planned for the day will cover topics such as profitability of cropping and livestock enterprises, in-depth soil testing, grains industry carbon benchmarking and more. The WMG team has been listening to members across the region in designing the event to ensure the issues for discussion are timely and relevant.
WMG is focused on what will help farmers remain profitable and sustainable well into the future, so planning for this event has meant focusing on speakers who can help move the west midlands region forward. With a focus on new opportunities to boost farm profitability, keynote speaker and Managing Director of Wide Open Agriculture Ben Cole will give a bird's eye view of their progress in value-adding agricultural products, particularly lupin.
In the move towards more sustainable agricultural practices across the region, WMG has reached out to Blythe Calnan, now with Resource Consulting Services, to discuss the integration of Regenerative Agriculture practices into her own property at Harvey (WA). Her insights and knowledge in this space and how it links with creating a more resilient farming business will allow attendees to think more deeply about the application to their business.
Expanding further on the topics of both profitability and sustainability in the rapidly emerging carbon emissions and sequestration space will be Richard Brake of Richard Brake Consulting, Larissa Taylor from Saviour Consulting, and Ben White from Kondinin Group. These speakers have been involved in the first grain pilot carbon benchmarking program with WA grain producers and their knowledge on the intricacies of carbon benchmarking are second to none.
A full agenda will be released closer to the date, but in the meantime, more information on this and other WMG events can be found at the WMG website www.wmgroup.org.au
The WMG Seasonal Updates event will be held at the Badgingarra Community Centre on Tuesday, 21 March. This event is free for members, fully catered on the day and will close with a sundowner.
