There are lots of new innovations happening in cane farming. Join us in Cairns for this practical, hands on 2 day forum. Learn from farmers who are successfully changing their farming system and from the extension specialists supporting them. Visit farms and see cover crops, controlled traffic, permanent beds, soil health, compost and new machinery in action. Identify the key steps to take on your place to make improvements. Learn how soil heath can transform your business and why it is as important to your business as good nutrient management.

Practical Sessions

Regenerative Cane farming covers four key themes. During the practical sessions you will visit and hear from farmers who are implementing changes on their farm (on farm weather permitting) to redesign their whole farm system! Topics we will explore at each farm include:

During the Forum you will break into small groups so you can get time to share and learn with other farmers as you visit the different farms. If you are looking to make practical changes then this event is not to be missed!
