Tarcutta Valley Landcare Group Member, Rebecca Gorman, is hosting Colin Seis and Graeme Hand for a cover & forage cropping workshop at Yabtree West. This short course in multi-species cover cropping is designed for managers of all farming operations.

- Achieving good crop yields
- Measuring changes in nutrient cycling, water infiltration and stability of your soil
- Managing key soil health pro-cesses to improve soil condition and increase farm resilience
- Increasing profitability while lowering risk
