Getting the dirt on soil carbon

We are running a soil carbon field day as part of the Making Good Better project.
It will be held on Tuesday 1 November from 9.15am to 4.15pm at "Kinburn" 918 Cressy Main Rd Cressy
Cone along if you're interested in learning more about:
  • the basics of soil carbon
  • how to measure it
  • how to manage it
The day will be a practical day with both expert and farmer speakers, and will include a farm tour (and a Melbourne Cup sweep!). Morning and afternoon tea will be provided and lunch will be available for purchase from Longford Rotary Club.
Our main speaker will be Bill Cotching from TIAR. Bill is a preeminent soil scientist, and also has a wealth of practical experience after working with Tasmanian farmers for many years. Other speakers will include Sam Rees (Macquarie Franklin), Craig Newman (Agvita), Bill Chilvers (Oakdene), Ian Smith (Crystal Brook), Rob Bradley (Bradley Agriculture) and Peter Aird (Serve-Ag).
The day is being sponsored by Agvita Analytical, in addition to the Australian Government through their Caring for our Country initiative.
