Evans Petroleum and Farm World: A Proud History

From left: Evans Petroleum general manager Warren Evans, managing director Stuart Evans and sales manager John Schelling.

Evans Petroleum are entering their 26th year of being a major sponsor of Lardner Park Events with the partnership being both fruitful and beneficial in enhancing the growth of both businesses.

The partnership actually began with the Mobil brand some 50 years ago, through the then Gippsland distributors and has evolved over time where distribution companies changed as has the fuel and Lubricants brand to BP.

The BP Australia/Evans Petroleum partnership with Lardner Park is now entering its fifth year. According to Managing Director Stuart Evans, it has been an alignment, which to date has been seamless and easy to maintain.

“We see the benefit of being involved with a progressive partner such as Lardner Park Events, as it allows us to portray our business in the same light, delivering a quality product and meeting our customer

expectation. These attributes has helped Evans Petroleum to grow its footprint on the Gippsland region with depots in Leongatha, Traralgon and Sale providing the infrastructure to service our farm delivery customers.

This is backed with 15 retail sites in strategic locations and a fleet of B-Double and truck and dog combinations for delivering the larger bulk loads of fuel.”

Evans Petroleum Sales Manager John Schelling oversees the delivery of bulk

fuel and lubricant to customers all over the South East region of Victoria, adding that the quality of product also plays a major role.

“Our lubricant business assures quality of product by delivering Castrol Oils to the market as well as the tried and proven BP Lubricants to the agriculture sector. By selling a product that people trust and the service that customers expect we set ourselves apart from our opposition. Our delivery service throughout Gippsland on set days per week allows us to provide products on a regular basis therefore allowing resellers and customers to carry low stock holdings.

This is also very evident in our choice of Ad Blue suppliers that led us to form a partnership with Go Blue Australia for the supply of their product to distribute to our customers and Go Blue’s as well.

Being a new product Evans Petroleum elected to source a top quality product and set up a first class vehicle for our distribution. With the product available in bulk, IBC’s, 200 litre drums and 10 litre containers as well at

the retail pump at selected service stations we are well equipped for the future growth that will occur as more new diesel vehicles come into the market place.”

Evans management and staff pride themselves on being local, distributing quality products to the Gippsland market place at competitive prices, employing some 130 staff who assist with keeping the local economy vibrant and maintaining the best possible service levels that we can.

They believe in putting something back into the local community, which is evident in the large sponsorship base that we currently assist.

“We wish Lardner Park Events all the very best with their 50th anniversary on the current site and look forward to continuing our association with them well into the future. All visitors to Farm World are very welcome to visit our site at the BP Ultimate Pavilion where we would like the opportunity to say hello and provide any assistance that you may need with fuels and lubricants.” said Mr. Evans.

Farm World 2017

This year marks the 50th Anniversary of Farm World at Lardner Park, and Victoria’s premier agricultural event is striding into the future with a strong list of over 900 exhibitors.

Demonstrations and presentations will cover food including native foods, fibre, profile chef cooking, home composting and much more.

A free forum will engage farmers with the Society of Precision Agriculture and Young Farmers Ministerial Advisory Council with very topical industry speakers, focusing on precision technology, social media and how they are driving higher outputs in the farming industry today (no entry fee forum).

This year will see a little nostalgia as Farm World reflects on the journey so far, we will celebrate the long-term loyalty of machinery exhibitors such as Vin Rowe, VC Traders, Gendore, R.E.N. and Alto Motors (to mention just a few) who were present in the founding years of Farm World (formerly known as The Gippsland Field Days).

Still exhibiting today, they join a long list of national and regional farm machinery exhibitors with new model releases, wide ranges of stocks, and on-site experts.

BJ Bearings, a long term exhibitor at Farm World, have increased their association by taking up naming rights for what was previously known as the General Interest Pavilion - now the BJ Bearings Pavilion so make sure you check out the fantastic product range and advice they have available.

This year’s theme is Food & Fibre, and Saturday and Sunday will see a celebratory “Food & Fibre Fiesta” in the main Conference and Exhibition building with presentation sessions, fresh produce stalls and fibre demonstrations and sales.

Learn how to take awesome photographs of food for Facebook and Instagram, cooking with essential oils, native foods, bread and cheese making demonstrations, funky basket weaving, home composting and much more.

Two high profile cooking demonstrations will be conducted by the renowned Alejandro Saravia, Peruvian-born chef and owner of Pastuso in Melbourne.

Women in Agriculture presented by Telstra and supported

by Commonwealth Bank Australia is a much loved luncheon on Thursday (www.lardnerpark.com.au for the fantastic speaker line-up).

On Friday is an early breakfast (and always highly informative) hosted by the Commonwealth Bank as a strategic partner to Farm World, followed by the Official Opening luncheon with regional Food & Fibre expert Paul Ford as the main speaker.

On Friday afternoon a free-entry Forum (seats must be booked on the website) is being hosted by Society of Precision Agriculture Australia and Young Farmers Ministerial Advisory Council, with a focus on “Collaborating to Innovate.” With industry leading panel speakers (refer to website for details), focus is on precision technology in agriculture and social media and how these are driving higher outputs for farmers. Plenty of good tips and insight to be gained from this forum!

The Farm World Equestrian Expo was a huge success in 2016 and this year has show-jumping, dressage, mounted games, a breed village, trade exhibits, heritage draught horses, pony rides and plenty more.

Supporters loved this event last year, lining up again this year including Pakenham and Gippsland Isuzu UTE as the Main Arena partner, the Mitavite Cool Crusada Masterclass Arena, Pakenham Produce Farm World Cup, and Yarragon Rural Supplies Farm World Mini Prix. For all competition and masterclass session details, prizemoney, and sponsors please visit www.lardnerpark.com.au This year will see the introduction of several crowd-pleasing new activations. “Fittest @ Farm World,” is an epic contest pitting Gippsland farmers against Voyage Fitness gymgoers to determine who really is the fittest!

Come along, pick a side and show your support. New to Farm World in 2017 is the BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF challenge, consisting of timed milking challenges with noted regional media and political personalities (1 teat, 1 hand, 1 minute, most milk collected), along with commercial dairy farming education and presentations, the event will be interspersed with engaging panel discussions and theatrics with patrons between daily milk-off sessions.

Plenty of retail shopping exists together with indoor trade exhibitors in the Baw Baw and BJ Bearings Pavilions, with a parcel delivery service available to assist with all those shopping purchases. Don’t forget about the new 2-day extravaganza with the Food & Fibre Fiesta on Saturday and Sunday in the main building – demonstrations and presentations together with dynamic displays and food and fibre products for sale.

Information and ticketing for Farm World and functions are available for the first time, online now at lardnerpark.com.au still at 2016 ticket prices.

Tickets available at the gate on the day at 2017 prices (see website for details).

Lardner Park and Farm World 2017 are proud to be supported by strategic partners Commonwealth Bank of Australia, BP Evans and the Baw Baw Shire Council.

The business now known as Christensen’s Motorcycles was started in 1923 and purchased by the Christensen family in 1937.

The business has had only five owners since 1923.

Christensen’s Motorcycles has been attending Farm World since 1999 and you can be sure to expect the same high level of service and the same familiar faces at the event this year including proprietor Steve Cooper and his locally based staff.

Through Christensen’s Motorcycles, Steve supports a large number of local clubs, charities and community events through donations each year. The business employs local staff and purchases its supplies from local businesses where possible. These local staff and businesses then support other local businesses to create a strong local economy.

Money spent in West Gippsland businesses circulates throughout the region many times, stimulating the economy over and over. In many cases money spent outside West Gippsland never returns to the district.

When considering your motorcycle needs, Steve encourages you to keep your money local and support Christensen’s Motorcycles, based in Warragul.

We are at Farm World for genuine sales.

Sproutwell Greenhouses is a family business that has enjoyed helping gardening enthusiasts and commercial growers achieve their vision.

Based in Victoria you have the choice of visiting two display locations.

Having already supplied thousands of greenhouses to everyday Australians, professional growers, nurseries, landscape gardeners, schools, community gardens and large insurance companies, they have now made it possible for interstate customers to view their greenhouses as they stock their products in a growing number of retail stores across the country.

One of the main things you will experience when dealing with the team at Sproutwell Greenhouses is that you will be given the choice to purchase from three very distinct ranges of greenhouses per your requirements.

Sometimes the range that appeals to you

the most will be determined by size, budget, location (if prone to high winds), style and colour.

Sproutwell Greenhouses is very different from the ‘average’ greenhouse company as they try to keep their designs unique (many of which are patent designs) and they’re very transparent when it comes to showing their customers exactly what makes each range different.

Be sure to visit their website and check out their new range of ShadeHouses, MultiZone Greenhouses (combination of a winter and summer house), stylish outdoor room ranges and the new innovative ‘M Series’ allowing to join any number of Greenhouses together side by side.

Sproutwell Greenhouses will be at Farm World, visit Sites 28 and 29 for some of their super show specials. They can be contacted on 1300 657 174 or sales@sproutwellgreenhouses.com.au

Farm World 2017

A Historical Perspective In 1963, the year that marked the beginning of Beatlemania and the delivery of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s iconic “I have a dream" speech, a group of Gippsland farmers collaborated to exhibit farm machinery and plant the seed that would eventually grow to become Victoria’s premier regional agricultural event – Farm World.

Originally known as The Gippsland Field Days, this iconic event started its life on a property near Longwarry followed by a series of locations in the Warragul region over the next four years.

In 1967 land was contributed by some visionary local farmers to form what is now known as Lardner Park, ultimately giving Farm World a permanent home from which it could flourish - 50 years down the track we are celebrating this gamechanging move.

The local community were passionate about growing the Lardner Park facility, the site gradually expanded as land was purchased or generously bequeathed from neighbouring farmers as

they passed on.

From this brave initiative, back in the 1960s, Lardner Park has grown to 300 acres in size and consists of a modern convention centre capable of hosting up to 1000 delegates, over 5000sqm of undercover pavilion space, an agroforestry plantation, R&D crops and numerous other facilities.

Among the more than 900 exhibitors taking part in Farm World this year, are many of the machinery exhibitors who were involved in the original Gippsland Field Days.

It is an inspiration to see them maintain their involvement, with exhibitors such as Vin Rowe, VC Traders, Gendore, R.E.N. and Alto Motors continuing to exhibit through successive generations. The Tractor & Machinery Association of Australia will again recognise the Best Powered and the Best Unpowered machines with the annual TMA awards presented at Farm World.

Aside from the everexpanding exhibitor list and continual increase in visitor

numbers, Farm World has also experienced highlights throughout its life including visits from Gough Whitlam and Malcolm Turnbull, both of whom have attended to open the event.

Farm World was also proud to welcome Quentin Bryce to speak at the Women in Agriculture Luncheon during her time as Governor General.

Over the course of the last 50 years our farming community has persevered through good seasons and bad, through floods and seemingly endless droughts.

They have seen the rise and fall of wool and beef prices, changes in consumer demands and most recently, the challenge of cuts to milk prices.

Events such as Farm World do more than simply passing on new skills and product knowledge; they also serve to bring the farming community together to support each other in much the same way as that first visionary group of farmers did back in the 1960s. Come along and share the love of Farm World this year with lots of new programs sup-

porting its rich history of exhibits.

One of the most substantial developments in the Farm World program over the past 50 years has been the inclusion of the Women in Agriculture Luncheon and more children’s activities, such as the Animal Nursery and Agrikidz, which represent the reality that a farm is a business that the whole family contributes to.

The BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF So much fun and positivity has been milked out of the dairy industry in the past year, it’s time to put a little back – introducing the BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF at Farm World 2017.

The concept is simple‌ It’s a Hand Milking competition - One hand - One teat One minute. The contestant who can extract the most milk within one minute wins the ‘Milk OFF’ trophy.

The hook lies with the contestants, as these are not your run-of-the-mill dairy farmers‌ we’re going to see everyone from Councillors and media to baristas and school children fighting it out against their contempo-

raries for the glory of the Milk OFF trophy.

The BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF will kick off at 12:00pm on Thursday 30th March in the historic Rotunda with plenty of colour and interactive displays including Sallie Jones and Steve Ronald’s from Gippsland Jersey in some very eye-catching costumes.

First cab off the rank will be some representatives of the next generation of dairy farmers, who will fight it out in a School Children’s MilkOff at 12:00pm on Thursday.

This will be closely followed by some of the Agricultural Industry’s most proactive female representa-

tives in the Women in Agriculture Milk Off at 2:30pm.

The fun will continue on Friday 31st March with a political stand-off at 10:30am as Gippsland MPs and Councillors test their skill in the second day of the BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF. While the local politicians may have a good understanding of the dairy industry, there are few occupations with more passion for milk than your local barista – but can they extract it themselves?

Some of Gippsland’s best baristas will take the challenge in the Barista Milk Off at 12:00pm on Friday.

There will be two opportunities to see some of your favourite media personalities test whether the gift-ofthe-gab translates to talent in the milk shed in the Media Milk Offs at 1:30pm on Friday and 12:00pm on Saturday.

There will also be plenty of opportunities for Farm World visitors to walk away with a Milk Off trophy, in the weeks leading up to Farm World we will be giving away 12 general public tickets through local media, which include entry to Farm World and the opportunity to compete in the BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF. Alongside the crowdpleasing hilarity of the BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF, there will also be displays educating the crowd on the history of the dairy industry, and the contribution it makes to both the local economy and the Victorian milk supplies.

Flashmate heat detector lights up AI program for South Gippsland dairy farmer Craig and Deb Allott are third-generation dairy farmers who sharefarm with their daughter and son-inlaw on the family property at Hazel Park in South Gippsland. During this autumn’s joining program, they used the Flashmate electronic heat detector from Gallagher for the first time and haven’t looked back yet.

First off - What is Flashmate?

Flashmate is an electronic heat detection device that monitors riding activity in dairy cows to work out when an animal is in standing heat.

It looks for specific patterns of riding/mounting by other cows - such as frequency, amount and duration of activity – and flashes red to indicate when a cow is ready for AI. If the cow doesn’t come back into heat within 25 days of being AI’d, the Flashmate will flash green to indicate a possible conception.

Previous heat detection experience: Craig has used traditional methods for detecting heats before but with mixed results. “In the past we’ve used tail-paint and tried scratchies too, which have not been really successful.

“The cows will find trees across the property that they can have a scratch against – and that’s given us false readings. Likewise tailpaint is ok but sometimes you can’t really tell if the cow is definitely ‘on’ and ready for AI.�

This has meant that someone with Craig’s skill and expertise has always had to be present during milking times – to be able to recognise the patterns of when a cow is in standing heat. “A problem we had before was that cows brought in for milking might have been let go from the shed and put back out into the paddock before we’ve had the chance to properly ID which ones are in heat. “Even then, if someone with the right experience is there to keep an eye on things, an autumn joining period often means that you’re milking in near-darkness – so it’s very hard to accurately pick out the cows that are ready for AI sometimes�.

Why try Flashmate then?

The main reason Craig says they chose Flashmate was greater ease and efficiency in correctly identifying cows that are in heat. “I did consider they’re a bit more expensive than other options out there but

if you’re picking out more cows – and more accurately, more easily and faster too – then that helps to balance the cost out I think.�

Another reason lay in the application of the Flashmates. According to Craig, applying them was also pretty easy. “We just did it during milking while the cows were on the platform. So I just went along and sprayed them with the glue while his wife, daughter and sonin-law were milking. And by the time I’d sprayed them I’d just go back to the start again and pop them on – it was pretty good to apply them and less mess than paint.�

What happened next?

Having applied Flashmates to 150 of his herd, two or three days passed before the first one was activated. “As soon as the Flashmate was on though, it was very easy to see and that made it a bit exciting!

Within about a month, you could look across the farm at a certain paddock at night and there were green and red flashes flickering all over the place – it was like a light show – quite interesting to see.�

Easier and more accurate That same light show enabled Craig and other

Problem solved.

dairy workers to see exactly which cows were responding to the AI program: “The milkers can actually identify the cows without needing someone who’s got a lot of expertise in knowing the cycle patterns to watch out for. “The Flashmate allows anybody to tell what’s going on, so it’s saving us time and effort and cutting out the guesswork from other methods we’ve used in the past�.

Craig notes that Flashmate accurately identified one particularly quiet cow that had never shown any signs of mounting activity in the past seven years. “We’d never seen her bulling, never picked up on a cycle before and actually selected her for AI for the first time ever because of Flashmate. In the past we’d normally have the bull pick her up later on, so that was a big bonus to see happen this time around. “Overall, I’d say Flashmate has definitely made life a lot simpler.

Picking up more cattle the way it’s allowed us to, more accurately and quicker – that’s why I’m looking forward to using it again this spring joining period too.�

3rd Charolais Sale

F07742

Kactus Point Charolais are pleased to be holding their third sale at Farm World this year.

On Saturday, April 1st at 1pm, 12 hand picked young Charolais bulls will be auctioned.

The bulls are a combination of poll and horned bulls which are ready to go straight to work.

We have added to our herd last year two Poll French Stud bulls from ANC in Queensland.

The poll bulls in the sale have low birth weight backgrounds.

Kactus Point Charolais was founded by Bruce and Vera Cook in 2008 when they bought their first registered Charolais cows.

They have constantly improved the genetics over the past years.

The main herd began with the first pick of MixHillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joined and unjoined heifers (27) when they dispersed their herd.

3rd Charolais Bull Sale Farm World - Lardner Park 2017

Breeding information available prior to sale.

F07886

These heifers became the major nucleus of the herd and they have bought from many other sales to constantly improve their herd genetics.

Over 150 stud cattle have blood lines from Boongatti, Rosedale, ANC, Nargoon, Sedalia, AYR, Carabinier, Pinay, SVY, Jay Tees, Tirrikee, Palgrove etc. The herd comprises of both E and F grades in both horned and poll form.

The stud is building up on poll blood lines in both E and F grades.

Bulls which are being used now are from Rosedale, ANC and Boongatti (a son of Pinay). These bulls have been producing some excellent progeny.

Bruce has worked with cattle all of his life having stud cattle in 1972 including a Melbourne Show Grand Champion bull.

He then moved into cross bred Charolais and then progressed into stud Charolais, His family on both sides have been in the cattle industry.

Cattle are situated in Northern Victoria (Kerang / Swan Hill) and Crossover, Victoria (West Gippsland).

Replacement cows are evaluated for temperament, confirmation, fertility and production.

Cows are both white and red factor and they are catering for beef production.

We have just joined some stud heifers of which a limited number will be available for sale later in the year (calving in Sept/Oct) and some unjoined heifers available now.

Visit the Telstra team at Farm World At Telstra we are very proud to be part of a company that is rolling up its sleeves and investing in rural and regional Australia.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve announced plans that could see up to $1 billion of investment and co-investment to grow and enhance our regional mobile network over the next five years.

Mobile Black Spot Program The Federal Government announced Round 2 of the Mobile Black Spot Program late in 2016, with a further 16 Telstra sites to be built in Victoria. This will make a total of 125 locations in rural and regional Victoria, including 16 in the Gippsland region, to be provided new mobile services.

Telstraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rollout of the Mobile Black Spot Program involves more than $486 million worth of co-investment in country Australia with Telstra joining with the Federal and State Governments as well as numerous local councils to deliver state of the art mobile services to major regional transport routes, small communities and in locations prone to natural disasters.

Co-investment such as this is working, and we recently activated our 100th site nationally, with more than one third of these in Victoria.

NBN rollout Around 102,706 homes and businesses in Gippsland are now eligible to connect to the NBN, setting new benchmarks for the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broadband speeds and reliability.

The FluroSat team can look at crop health and identify issues on your farm through wing cameras mounted on drones and satellites.

Telstra is also providing a range of sophisticated, NBN optimised technology for home and the office to ensure customers enjoy high speed connectivity inside their home or business.

These include the Telstra Air network giving people the freedom to get online at thousands of hotspots across Australia; a marketleading Wi-Fi hub; and the free T-VoiceÂŽ app that turns compatible tablets and devices into home phone handsets.

Technology changing the future of farming Over the next 20 years, continued innovation and investment in technology can deliver some exciting opportunities which will change the way we live,

work, and interact.

One such area of interest to regional communities is the Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture. IoT refers to everything from cars, houses, farming equipment and public infrastructure being connected to one another through a network.

In the future, the data collected through IoT will help farmers make smart decisions and reduce or potentially eliminate circumstances which can adversely impact profits and livelihoods.

For example, FluroSat, a Telstra muru-D startup is building tech that could save the Australian agriculture industry millions of dollars in revenue. Using multi and hyper-spectral cameras mounted on

drones and satellites, the FluroSat team can look at crop health and identify issues that may be affecting the fields. This allows them to see problems with crops before a farmer on the ground is able to, and recommend precision fixes.

Come have a chat to us at Farmworld Our local Telstra Team will be at Farmworld again this year. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to discover how technology can help your business, experience the Telstra Smart Home or the try latest 4G mobile devices visit site 202, near the Baw Baw Pavilion.

We look forward to seeing you there, and thank you for your support.

Farming is a family business in the truest sense of the word - and this is exactly what so many farming families love about it.

The opportunity to grow up on a farm and spend time with parents while they work is something that most farming children treasure long into adulthood. So it makes sense that Farm World is an event that caters to the whole family.

As the saying goes, if the kids are happy, the parents are happy. This is a mantra that certainly rings true at Farm World, which offers such a fun-filled family day out that even non-farming families won’t miss it!

And it’s easy to see why, from endless large machinery exhibits to working dog demonstrations and horse riding events, there is so much for the kids to experience. They even have the opportunity to have a first-hand experience with the animals with the ever-popular LION DAIRY animal nursery and pony rides.

The Lion Dairy Animal Nursery and Picnic Area has action all day long with the informing talks from the volunteers, petting and engaging with the animals, and the fabulous Animals of Oz daily show.

In addition to family activities throughout the event, this year Farm World will launch the AgriKidz program. This innovative program focuses on school-aged children from local and peri-urban regions. Over the year, AgriKidz will share information to teach about where foods actually come from and how to grow healthy food at home, farm safety, machinery demonstrations, livestock engagement and much more. They’ll learn about the full life cycle of their produce – from the farm through to what happens behind the supermarket shelf, and on to composting and recycling. The AgriKidz program also includes a colouring competition with some fabulous prizes available.

Farm World has provided some additional areas for a little rest and relaxation

– check out the grassed areas that have been left available for your comfort in front of the Exhibition & Conference Centre and directly behind the main office building.

In 2012, Farm World introduced the Women in Agriculture Luncheon to their program celebrating women in rural and regional Australia.

This year’s luncheon, presented by Telstra, will be held on Thursday 30th March and will feature two guest speakers. Rebel Black, launched her first business at age 22 and has spent the past 16 years creating award winning businesses, while leading development in women’s empowerment, community, tourism, education, business and social, emotional and physical wellbeing.

Emma Germano, a local Gippslander from Mirboo North, boasts a Nuffield Scholarship, international relations studies, a restaurant venture and business strategy consulting under her belt.

Emma works on the family farm (Germano Produce), as the Business Development and Operations Manager, which supplies cauliflower, cabbage and potato crops to the fresh market. She is also the vice president of the Victorian Farmers Federation Horticulture Group.

The Women in Agriculture luncheon, together with Telstra as the Presentation Sponsor and supported by Commonwealth Bank Australia, is a signature event at Farm World and is a unique and relaxed opportunity to listen to some inspirational speakers.

The new event sure to entertain and inform crowds this year is the BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF. Consisting of timed milking challenges (1 teat, 1 hand, 1 minute, most milk) between local community-leaders, media, and politicians, along with commercial dairy farming education and presentations, the event will be interspersed with engaging panel discussions and theatrics with patrons between the 3 daily milk-off competitions.

Assumption College Kilmore A Catholic Coeducational 7 to 12 Day and Boarding School in the Marist Tradition

347ASS F02352

To arrange a personal appointment to discuss what Assumption College

Assumption College Kilmore, a coeducational day and boarding school, has been educating students in the Catholic and Marist traditions since 1893.

Its co-ed boarding program is an integral component of college life with fulltime and weekday boarding available.

Being co-ed, the sense of family spirit is enhanced where each boy and girl is known, included and encouraged to be involved.

The boarding houses, which are less than three years old, cater for 72 boarders.

Each house accommodates 24 students: senior students have their own rooms and juniors twin share.

The rooms are bright, warm and comfortable and provide each student with a desk, king-single bed, wardrobe, storage area and Wi-Fi access.

Assumption promotes close links between boarding and teaching staff to enable students’ academic progress to be monitored.

Daily supervised study and on-site, after-hours tutoring by teachers from the day school help boarders to reach their

full academic potential.

Academic scholarships are offered to boarders entering years 10 and 11.

The broad curriculum caters for students’ individual needs.

At years 7 and 8 the focus is on subjects that offer breadth and balance, where students study all areas of the Victorian curriculum and are exposed to an array of digital and design technologies.

They begin to make elective choices in years 9 and 10 where the emphasis is on pathways and choice. Students can select up to 16 semester-based electives over these years, providing a highly personalised learning experience and promoting student ownership of their own education.

In the senior years, up to 30 VCE studies are offered, alongside school-based apprenticeships and numerous VCAL and VET courses with hospitality available in the school’s trade training centre.

There are many sporting co-curricular activities including hockey, clay target shooting and lawn bowls as well as equestrianism and popular cultural pursuits: drama, debating, dance and music.

Low Horsepower Gentle on Soils Deep Aeration Incorporates Crop Residue Prepares Seed Beds Improves Soil Health Increases Productivity

See the Fix Rehabilitator Plough at Graham Wood Machinery, site C26.

THE FIX REHABILITATOR

It lifts and cracks, aerates and penetrates like no other implement. Use the Rehabilitator Plough instead of Rippers, chisel ploughs, Discs, Rotary hoes or power Harrows.

The Fix Rehabilitator plough is designed to loosen and lift the soil by allowing the soil to crack along natural lines. The Tusk rollers till the top-soil producing a seed-bed and leaving the soil loose and aerated and able to capture and hold moisture.

Features: ● Relatively Low Horsepower requirement ● Machines are available from 1.5m to 6 metres ● Linkage and trailed ● Extra sturdy frame The parabolic Tines can penetrate up to 500 mm, and are fitted with reversible chisel points. The two rear tusk rollers have a levelling mechanism and height adjustment.

Soil is lifted, the surface is cultivated, and crop residue is partially incorporated to

speed-up decomposition. Often cereal crops, legumes and maize can be re-seeded after a one pass cultivation.

Most beneficial organisms in the soil are aerobic; most detrimental organisms in the soil are anaerobic. Good aeration will inhibit the damaging organisms and encourage the beneficial ones. This will be a healthier soil which will mineralise and recycle nutrients more effectively and provide a more sustainable system.

Healthy soil is the best and cheapest way to produce healthy plants. This won’t happen with toxic inputs. Soils need adequate air.

So to improve your soil and save on costly and often damaging inputs, the FIX Rehabilitator Plough could well be the answer.

EE OUR NEW PRODUCTS ON THE DAY! AT FARM WORLD TO S D N A T S N A V L I VISIT THE S The latest addition to the Silvan Australia range of Nobili vegetation mulchers is the hydraulic offset model TBE series with a working width from 1900 to 2600mm.

The mulcher is an ideal choice behind a 70 to 180 horsepower tractor as a central or offset machine for managing pasture, roadside edges, verges or sloping ground.

Already popular with local government bodies and land managers, the Nobili TBE series is equally at home on a farm.

Nobili, the Italian manufacturer of precision mulchers, has been represented in Australia by Silvan Australia for almost two decades.

Nobili continues to win international markets for its mulchers based on product quality and innovation.

The latest Nobili innovation is the TBE series of mulchers that can be used both centrally behind a tractor offset (left and right hand offset versions available) making them ideal for pasture mulching as well as roadside edges, verges or sloping ground.

The new Nobili TBE Series therefore gives farmers, land managers and especially local government bodies a uniquely effective machine.

With a working width from 1900mm to 2600mm, the TBE Series is an ideal choice for a 70 to 180 horsepower (or 60 to 130kW) tractor.

The rotor blades of the Nobili TBE spin at 2205 revolutions per minute based on a PTO speed of 540 rpm with the choice of

two different blade types depending on the type of vegetation.

With an all up weight from 925 to 1100 kgs, the Nobili TBE series is supplied complete with double skin, durable working skids and guards that ensure the mulched material is deposited safely on to the ground behind the machine.

Silvan Australia’s machinery specialist, Gavin Wheatcroft, says Silvan has sold thousands of Nobili mulchers into all markets and application areas Australia wide and despite a number of copyists they have earned an unparalleled reputation for quality and performance.

“Newly introduced, we will have the Nobili TBE Series of versatile offset mulchers available for demonstration across Australia.”

For more information on the Nobili range contact Silvan Australia on freecall 1300 SILVAN (1300 745 826) or email info@silvanaust.com or see www.silvan. com.au for technical specifications.

More Effective Options to manage Downer Cows

The “RiserTank” assists in the recovery process by reducing the cow’s bodyweight. Standing in warm water invigorates the cows to eat and drink.

Widespread use of Steinfort AgVet’s “Pelvic Lift” & “RiserTank” over the

past 5 years have significantly increased Downer Cow recovery rates.

Developed by Gippsland based veterinarian, Dr John Steinfort, the “Pelvic Lift” & “RiserTanks” can be used together to enable farmers to more humanely & effectively transport & rehabilitate Downer Cows.

The “Pelvic Lift” is designed to lift & transport cows for both short & long distances.

The unique design enables 50% of the weight to be taken by the hips, like traditional hip clamps, with the other 50% taken via the pelvic seat being positioned under the pelvis, well above the udder.

The addition of a webbing strap evenly lifts the brisket.

As the cow is lifted horizontally, the animals back is straight & aligned, unlike using hip clamps where the hind legs are tilted down,

straining the lower back.

Once a cow is lifted she can either walk away or be transported & placed in the RiserTank to further assist the recovery process.

Aided by the buoyancy of water, the “RiserTank” provides a confined space in water to enable the cow to stand & feed for longer than normal.

Up to half of the cow’s body weight is reduced when standing in water.

Standing in warm water invigorates the cows to eat & drink.

Generally a cow stands in warm water for 4 to 12 hours per session with a 2 hour break or a full rest at night.

The cows are continually left in the RiserTank with the majority of water let out at the end of each session to

provide time for the cow to rest.

The RiserTank is again refilled with water for the next session - this process is repeated until the cow can confidently stand without the buoyancy of water.

Research in using the RiserTank has shown an 80% recovery for calving paralysis cases, with all recovered cows returning to milk within 7 days.

According to Xavier Parkinson who milks 900 cows at Koroit in Western Victoria, the RiserTank has doubled their Downer Cow recovery rate & has helped them in developing a standard procedure to better manage downer cows.

The use of the RiserTank has significantly saved on labour with Xavier indicating they cannot devote the

time to conventionally lift cows regularly.

Sharefarmer Andrew Gaul, who milks 360 cows at Bona Vista in West Gippsland, has highlighted that cows are his biggest asset & with a Downer Cow recovery rate of approximately 90% & cows being valued at $2,000 each, the RiserTank has been a really good investment.

Andrew said the key to achieving the best results is to get cows into the RiserTank as soon as possible.

Studies have shown that recovery times are reduced with cows generally requiring between 1 & 3 days for a full recovery.

According to Dr John

Steinfort the RiserTank is also ideal to differentiate the cows that will not recover readily.

You can usually diagnose a cows condition within 10 minutes of placement in water.

If a cow is unable to stand & bear some weight with water in the RiserTank, then recovery times will need to be extended or in some severe cases, euthanasia is recommended, as prognosis is very poor.

For more information, case studies & videos on the “Pelvic Lift” & “RiserTank” please visit the “Steinfort AgVet” website - www.steinfortagvet.com.au

The “Pelvic Lift” is designed to lift and transport cows, enabling 50% of the weight to be taken by the hips and 50% by the pelvic seat whilst keeping the cows back horizontal.

Crump Spreaders: servicing Australian Farmers for a Century

SEE US AT SITE CB36

There is no doubting that farming is not for the faint hearted, and the team at Crump Spreaders Australia pride themselves on doing their small part in assisting our Aussie farmers achieve top results with uncompromised reliability.

Crump Spreaders have been a mainstay in the Australian agricultural scene since before WWI and are now manufactured by Albury Precision Engineering to ensure the product continues to remain an integral part of farming practices.

Based in Albury-Wodonga, the machines are

designed to accurately spread dry free running fertilisers up to 1500 litres/ha. This includes granulated super, urea and potash to name a few.

The introduction of Omya's Calciprill means Crump Spreaders can now be used to apply extremely fine lime in a granular form. Crump and Omya are working together to ensure farmers are achieving the best of both worlds in product and application as Calciprill from Bathurst is low in dust, easy to spread and breaks down rapidly in moisture.

Accu-Spread and AFSA testing shows results within parameters of 5%. This offers confirmation of the integrity of the products tested ensuring that granulated products are dispensed in their intended form.

The Kurrajong trailing fertiliser spreaders range from 1-3 tonnes while the Acacia three-point linkage models range from 1-2 tonnes.

Deluxe models have twin outlets which can be adjusted to compensate for distribution variation.

Customer feedback is an important aspect in the R&D process adopted in-house. From this, galvanised frames, hydraulic options, heavy duty tyre upgrades and road-tow kits are also now available.

30 000 spreaders have been manufactured since 1945, so earlier models are not forgotten with manuals, spare parts, stickers and information still available for many of the earlier models.

WIN this trailer full of great gear

Down on the sunny Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, is a company with a secret. A&A Worm Farm Waste Systems has the key to the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Worm Driven Sewage and Organic Waste Conversion System.

As we become conscious of the damage we have done to our planet, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that we must adopt practises in our daily living which lessen the impact of our lifestyle on the environment. This can be without any inconvenience and at very little cost to which you attain some big bonuses.

All this can be achieved through worms, would you believe? Worms through the good people at A&A Worm Farm Waste System.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it works, the system is simplicity itself. All that happens is that the contents of the toilet, the water from the shower, bath, dishwasher, clothes washer are piped directly to a colony of active compost worms.

The A&A system then constantly introduces fresh air into the worm driven processing tank. This design feature keeps the system aerobic (totally different to a septic tank, which is anaerobic), therefore the system has no smell.

The worms then turn the solid matter in the sewage with the flush water, shower, washing machine etc, to vermicast.

Vermicast is a solution of suspended solid which is broken down into extremely minute particles. It is black and rich in carbon. This is then discharged into the subsurface soil where it will;

- Naturally fertilise the soil - Naturally water and fertilise your garden - Over-time transforms the top layer of soil into an incredibly rich, dark coloured growing medium.

The worms, who have a voracious appetite eating at least half their weight daily, can consume and kill harmful bacteria such as e-coli, salmonella and enteric virus in the sewage, making it safe to use.

If you have an A&A Worm Farm Waste system, all your organic wastes, weeds from the garden, scraps from the kitchen etc - the organic waste which your Council collects - go straight into the processing chamber never to be seen again and cost you and the Council nothing. As of December 2015, there are more than 2000 families in Australia with a trouble-free worm-driven sewage system from A&A Worm Farm, all doing their bit to repair our environment and make it safe for our children.

The A&A Worm Farm Waste System is the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Practice, Fit, Flush and Forget sewage system. Operational cost fitted up to a four bedroom family home is around $20 per year, unless you include a small solar panel, in which case, it costs nothing and is all benefit.

Installation is about the same as any other system. To find out more, phone A&A Worm Farm Waste Systems on (03) 5979 1877, or visit them at Farm World. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look after you!

EXTENSIVE RANGE AVAILABLE

Polaris has long been the leader in all-terrain utility vehicles and in 2016 more people have chosen Polaris than any other brand.

Leongatha dealer, Marriotts has announced the hard-working range now extends to 23 models with certified RollOver Protection Structures (ROPS) to satisfy OHS concerns.

Combined with seat-belts with an interlock device that limits speed when the seat belt is unsecured, plus additional occupant restraints, there is a Polaris for every task and with safety front of mind.

With this massive range, Polaris dominated the Side x Side market in 2015 and again in 2016 accounting for around half of all Side x Sides sold.

Seating configurations start with the unique single-seat ACE which is rated to carry 261kg and towing capacity 680kg.

The ACE provides a compact and narrow footprint, for extraordinary access and manoeuvrability and features ROPS and car like controls.

It really is the starting point for Polaris Safety Technologies which underpin the entire Polaris Side x Side range.

The Ranger series of Side x Side utility vehicles provides a vast selection of models to satisfy virtually every imaginable requirement with seating from two to six seats,

petrol, diesel and electric, 2 wheel-drive and All-Wheel-Drive plus unlocking rear diffs for turf friendly performance.

With innovations such as All-WheelDescent-Control (ADC) Polaris has eliminated some of the criticisms from owners operating in hilly terrain levelled at some other Side x Side brands.

Also a leader in the familiar ATV segment, Polaris provides an extensive line-up with Heavy Duty suspension construction on many models with grease nipples to extend the working life of vehicles in the harsher commercial applications such as dairy.

Accessory choices are abundant and can be found in the 192 page accessories catalogue or on-line.

A truly customisable package with multiple roof, door and windscreen variations means the vehicle can be adapted to suit any work environment and escape from the elements.

The US company has now become the largest supplier of Side x Side utility vehicles in Australia, indeed worldwide.

Not all models have all features so it is a matter of selecting the model that best satisfies your needs.

The Food & Fibre Fiesta promises a festive ambience of exhibitor sales, demonstrations and workshops running free-of-charge throughout the weekend.

The program of demonstrations and workshops will roll over throughout the day, so visitors can stop and listen as they wish.

You can learn the wonder of simple, handmade food with a Pasta Making demonstration, a Bread and Cheese Making demonstration from inspirational entrepreneur, author and advisor, Rebel Black.

Then watch as acclaimed Peruvian-born chef, Alejandro Saravia from Pastuso restaurant in Melbourne, inspires the crowd, bringing the strong flavours and variety of Peruvian cuisine to life in his two beef cooking demonstrations on Saturday.

tricks behind taking mouth-watering sharable food images on an iPhone.

Health and sustainability are both enduring trends shaping how our agricultural produce interacts with our bodies and our environment.

Julie Weatherhead from Peppermint Ridge will hold a demonstration showcasing the flavour and diversity of Australian native foods, and Doterra Essential Oils will illustrate how cooking with essential oils can harness the power of nature to revolutionise the way many families are managing their health.

The Farm World Equestrian Expo will return to Lardner Park from March 30 to April 2, 2017. Some of Australia’s finest competitors will travel to Gippsland to compete in dressage, show jumping and games events across a four-day program, which kicks off on Thursday with an HRCAV Dressage event for all levels of riders.

Friday and Saturday will see Equestrian Australia show jumping events take place in the Isuzu UTE Main Arena on a course designed by Sydney Olympian and Gippsland local, Gavin Chester.

The course promises to be a challenge, with jumps ranging from 90 to 140cm, with $10,000 in prize money up for grabs in events including Friday's Yarragon Rural Supplies Mini Prix and Saturday's iconic Pakenham Produce Farm World Cup. Other competition class sponsors include Drouin Vet Clinic, EFO and Denholm and Christian Fencing.

Several riders of note will be competing in Saturday’s show jumping events including Jasmine Dennison (2015 National Junior Champion, from Mt Eliza), Russell Johnstone (1996 Olympian, and competitor at the Nation Cup Shows in Finland, Norway and Sweden, from Whittlesea), Ally and Andrew Lamb (both successful World Cup competitors, from Dennison), Paul Brent (successful World Cup competitor, has been listed on the Elite Squad, from

Coldstream), and finally Brook Dobbin who will be defending his title as the 2016 Pakenham Produce Farm World Cup winner and is also a successful World Cup competitor (from Yarra Glen).

The Farm World Equestrian Expo debuted at Farm World in 2016, during which a Games Masterclass demonstrated various tests of skill for the crowd.

This year the program has been extended to include a full day of Games Championships on Sunday.

There will be several top-performing Games riders including Alice Greig. Alice rode on the winning Australian team at Nation Championships in 2015, and continued her success in 2016 placing 8th in the Australian Individual Championships, 2nd in the Australian Teams Championships, 5th in the Australian Pairs Championships, and competing at the World Pairs Championships in Denmark. Quite an impressive riding resume considering she is not yet 21 years old!

Stunning trophy rugs for the competitions are provided by Arch and Alex with further support sponsorship for the event from Gippsland Premium Quarries and Yaraandoo Park Concepts.

Healthy soils need plenty of air visual inspection. With a spade, dig out a block of soil to the dimensions of 20cm x 20cm x 25cm deep. If there is a clear line between a profusion of roots at the top of the soil block in a dark crumbly soil, and then a lower layer of hard, dense packed looking soil, the soil structure is poor.

A good soil structure and a healthy worm population go hand in hand. Earthworms are a good indicator of the soils biological status. In a well structured, healthy and fertile soil there should be more than 20 worms in every spade sample. If there is less than 10, there is a good chance there is a problem with the soil structure and the quickest and easiest solution is likely to be mechanical aeration or tined rippers to improve this soil structure.

During the late winter and early spring months is the best time for aeration. When there is enough moisture in the soil to allow aerators to penetrate and break up the hard pan of sub soil below the root system, lift and loosen the top soil and allow spring rains to absorb and retain into the soil.

James Engineering in New Zealand has been developing, testing and working with farmers for over 30 years in the development of aerators to improve soil structure. Their new series of aerators feature fine shank tines with individual coulters fitted for minimal top surface disturbance. Tyne spacing and shape, designed to break up and loosen the hard pan and compacted soils underneath. Two types of models are available with both shear bolt protection or new style auto reset tines are available for grounds with rocks or stumpy conditions.

Mike Keys from James Engineering says it is more ever important to get the most out of your pastures. With the ever increasing costs of fertilisers and the costs of renovating your pasture, aeration can be a more cost effective alterative. Aeration can improve soil structure, assist in unlocking soil fertility and improve root development of pastures for greater ability to produce grass.

TracMac Farm Equipment will be displaying the range of James aerator on their stand CB126 at Farm World 2017 or you can contact us on 5625 1522 or 0418 515510.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep putting good fertilizer on compacted soils that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t absorb it.

Aeration can improve moisture retention and allow the roots to penetrate deeper to absorb the moisture.

Aeration will also promote healthy worm and micro organism development that improves soil fertility.

SOIL fertility is generally held to be the most significant factor in maximising pasture and crop growth.

For years we have done tests that are designed to establish the PH levels and if there are any deficiencies in essential mineral levels in the soil, and if so, apply the appropriate fertilisers to correct these. But with the recent increase in fertiliser prices and lack of availability, alternative methods may be needed to keep improving soil fertility.

One way can be the use of aerators to loosen compacted soils, allowing oxygen to enter the soil and can unlock these nutrients that are retained in the soils.

The limitation of the oxygen supply to soils has a direct effect on plants and a severe effect on the myriad of micro and macro soil organisms that are essential in establishing and maintaining a healthy and productive soils. A sure sign of compaction is the root system of the plants. In compacted soils the plant roots tend to grow sideways, so growth will be limited by intensive competition for and less availability of soil moisture and nutrients. Plants will also tend to have their crowns higher out of the ground, so they are more susceptible to damage from grazing and treading. Autumn â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pullingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of rye grass will also be more of a problem. Greater depth of root structure will give a greater ability to produce grass growth during dry times and will unlock nutrients retained in the soil.

Also aeration can be good to improve pastures that are starting to drop their growth rates but still have a good grass base to work with. Aeration can release lock-up nutrients and allow the root system to redevelop without the expensive and time out of action of a full pasture renovation.

Another sign of compacted soils is the inner ability of the soil to absorb moisture from the recent rains. If the ground is showing signs of water logging with water remaining to the top of the surface, aeration will greatly benefit the soils ability to absorb moisture and then allow the plants root system to utilise this moisture during the summer months.

Soil structure can easily be checked by

Big year for a Big Bale feeder.

Other features like heavy duty chassis, walking beam axles with floatation tyres, large storage bins and 2 remote operation are all designed to make feeding bales quick and easier.

With now several units out in operation, they are proving to be more than living up to our expectations.

Some owners have now fed out thousands of bales and have found them easy to use and able to handle all types of bales, some weighting over 1200kg.

Farmers like the ability to go into a large herd of cows and feed out up to 3 bales without getting out of the tractor seat.

This is a great safety feature as anyone who has experienced trying to get the plastic and nett off the second bale in a mob of hungry cows.

For more information and details about the range of McIntosh Bale Feeders including the new Multi Bale Feeder please visit Trac Mac Farm Equipment on site CB126 or phone on 03 5625 1522.

2016 has certainly been a big year for McIntosh with their new Multi Bale Feeder.

At the machines release at Farm World 2016 the Multi Bale Feeder won the TMA (Tractor & Machinery Association) Best NonPowered Machine of the year.

Then at the 2016 Elmore field days, they were proud to receive the Weekly Times Best Imported Machine of the Year award for its innovative design, unique features and the ability to improve farming efficiency.

This has been a great result for McIntosh Brothers from New Zealand together with their Australian partner Trac Mac Farm Equipment.

Listening to customer’s needs, they have been working closely together over the past 18 months to develop this brand new design.

The new Multi Bale Feeder is designed to load, carry and feed out up to four round bales of silage or hay in one load.

This will greatly improve the efficiently and feed out times for farmers that feed larger herds.

The unique twin ram bale loading system allows the operator to lift and hold the bales above the platform to allow easy removal of the nett and wrap. This is especially suitable for roto-cut silage bales that can fall apart once the nett has been removed.

The bale transfer system pushes each bale up into the feeding cradle. The specially designed feeder slats allows the easy transfer of the bales, but ensuring plenty of aggression for consistent feeding.

The dual sided cradle allows accurate control of feeding out the fodder, no matter which way the bale is placed into the cradle.

The new style vertical drop side feeder chains assist in the prevention of the wheels running over the material.

Claas Harvest Centre is the Gippsland home of Duncan Ag seed drills Claas Harvest Centre Gippsland (Warragul) and South Gippsland (Leongatha) are your local Duncan Ag seed drill dealers.

With over 14 seed drills in its range, plus the ability to customise, Duncan Ag has a product to suit, no matter what your requirements.

The Duncan seed drill is an economic long-term commitment.By sowing now you can plan to have more grass over winter and with the correct seed you will see the long term benefit of having more silage and hay in future harvests.

Direct drilling avoids the delay in paddock rotation and with the optional covering harrows attached it allows the seeding process to be finished off successfully.

There are many satisfied Duncan seed drill owners.

Here’s what some of them had to say. A fifth-generation farmer made his decision to buy a Renovator Classic only after quite a bit of market research.

“I liked the overall machine despite it being a little dearer, and appreciate its potential resale value.

I knew it to be a versatile machine although I did think I’d reached its limits with the faba beans.

However, I now know that Duncan Ag produces a bean wheel that easily adapts the drill for such large seeds.”

He makes the point that calibration for each job is essential.

“Seed size may differ from year-to-year and it would be unreliable to simply reset the seeder to last year’s calibration figure.

The Duncan calibration system is far and away the

“It is the Duncan Renovator Classic that has enabled us to build up good supplies of winter feed and stable grazing for our stock.

I reckon the Renovator Classic will stand up against any drill for pasture and a wide range of seeds” “I’ve had no problems with it, and before purchasing it, I spoke with several farmers and my brother.

He had purchased a Duncan seed drill and was very satisfied and I’ve got to say the robust construction, reliability, and ease of setting up has satisfied me too.”

“We have learned the importance of pasture renovation and the need for this to be completed at the appropriate time.

This was never more apparent than after the Black Saturday bushfires which destroyed much of our grasslands. Our community witnessed the incredible regeneration achieved through the collaborative use of a Duncan Eco Seeder kindly loaned to us by Duncan Ag, and that imple-

ment has become the seed drill of choice for a good number of farmers in our region. We see direct seeding as the most important activity on farms today.”

“Growing good quality grass is of vital importance.

Direct seeding offers the opportunity to get seed in the ground without having to withstand the time and expense of conventional cultivation, but with the grass harvested it will be imperative a replacement pasture or crop be quickly established to maintain bottom-line profit.

This is where a quick spray off and direct seeding meets those time constraints and does so in a cost-efficient manner.

The importance of getting seed into the ground at the right time is often the difference between success and failure in terms of bottomline profit.”

LEVEL, HARROW, SOW and ROLL in one FAST PASS to Pasture Renovate or Total Re-sow The natural way for pasture seed to germinate is near the surface, in firm contact with the soil.

Bury the seed, it dies.

Sowing in lines or rows doesn’t make any sense either, as the empty spaces between the rows will allow weeds to grow with obvious loss of production.

The 4 in 1 Seeder for fast pasture establishment and earlier production.

This machine is designed for sowing pastures into either worked ground or more importantly into existing pastures, either to rejuvenate or totally re-sow without the need to cultivate.

The versatile Fix 4 in 1 Seeder effectively sows from rough rocky hill country to river flats and is excellent for both pasture management and renovation as it is for sowing summer fodder crops such as lucerne, brassicas, millet etc. into cultivated soil.

Available in a full 2m and 3m working width, and for the really large operators 2x2m coupled for 4m coverage.

The FIX seed-boxes are ground-driven through cassettes with several ratios and the seed drops on to a metal deflector plate which fans out the seed to give an even distribution over the entire paddock.

Gerard and Debbie can be found at N-10a at Farm World this year.

Sulphation build-up is a major problem with lead acid and calcium acid batteries and Recharge Battery Conditioning Program can as much as double battery life, according to Gerard Anselmi of RECHARGE Battery Revitalizer & Conditioner.

How Recharge works: As batteries age, more and more of the sulphur ions in the sulphuric acid electrolyte that should be holding the electrons or charge build up on the internal lead plates as lead sulphate or sulphation.

This build-up does two things. Firstly it reduces the battery’s charge holding capacity by removing the sulphur ions from the electrolyte, and secondly it acts

like rust on steel and corrodes the lead until the plates collapse and cause premature battery failure.

“Every battery you buy has already started to sulphate and they just get worse until they die”, says Anselmi.

A RECHARGE treatment will dissolve the lead sulphate build-up turning those sulphur ions back into sulphuric acid holding electrons. “We are chemically reversing the sulphation build-up process, one chemical reaction to counter another,” says Anselmi.

“Once treated, a battery is is essentially running at full capacity, provided the lead plates are still in good condition and prevention is the key.

“Dead batteries are dead, so forget about them,” says Anselmi. “Treat batteries early, repeat every 2 to 3 years for starting batteries or every 3 to 4 years for bigger traction batteries like inde-

pendent power supplies, fork lifts, golf carts and scissor hoists.”

Gerard and Debbie will be at the Farm World Field Days 2017 on site N-10a.

The 500ml farmer pack works out at around $4.50 per car battery.

A more cost effective 2 litre commercial pack is also available and that pack can also be purchased on line at www.recharge.net.nz.

However, as RECHARGE is acid based, it is dangerous goods and expensive to freight; the 2 litre bottle is therefore the only one that we sell directly and it is far cheaper at the field days.

And yes, you can treat sealed batteries simply by drilling into each cell, treating and resealing with silicone, sika-flex or a plastic bung.

Recharge is also great for deep cycle batteries like forklifts, golf carts, scissor hoists and lighting system batteries.

The Farm World Equestrian Expo will return to Lardner Park from 30th March to 2nd April 2017.

Back by popular demand for its second year, the Farm World Equestrian Expo is a must-see for anyone with a passion for horses.

Some of Australia’s finest competitors will travel to Gippsland to compete in dressage, show jumping and games events across a four-day program, which kicks off on Thursday with an HRCAV Dressage event for all levels of riders.

Friday and Saturday will see Equestrian Australia show jumping events take place in the Isuzu UTE Main Arena on a course designed by Sydney Olympian and Gippsland local, Gavin Chester.

The course promises to be a challenge, with jumps ranging from 90 to 140cm, with $10,000 in prize money up for grabs in events including Friday's Yarragon Rural Supplies Mini Prix and Saturday's iconic Pakenham Produce Farm World Cup. Other competition class sponsors include Drouin Vet Clinic, EFO and Denholm and Christian Fencing.

The Equestrian Expo debuted at Farm World in 2016, during which a Games Masterclass demonstrated various tests of skill for the crowd. This year the program has been extended to include a full day of Games Championships on Sunday.

Alongside the Isuzu UTE Main Arena, there will be a variety of Masterclasses held over course of the four-day Expo providing specialist advice from the best in the industry, along with the opportunity to ask questions and seek advice relating to your own horses.

The Mitavite Cool Crusada Arena will feature demonstrations and larger scale Masterclasses, while the second Masterclass Arena will offer the opportunity to hear tips from the best and ask questions.

Masterclasses are supported in sponsorship by International Horse Breeders (IHB) and Racing Victoria’s Off The Track. Some highlights include Sandi Simons’ strategies for overcoming loss of confidence and advice on training problem horses, Adam Wootten’s techniques for developing successful show jumping horses developed from training some of Australia’s most successful horses, and Nicole Magoffin on how to correctly follow the German Training Scale and identify your horse’s strengths and weaknesses in regard to the scale.

Farm World Equestrian Expo will encompass a range of general interest horse exhibits and displays including the increasingly popular Western Riders demonstrations, Heritage Draught Horses, pony rides and the Foal App Breed Village will showcase various breeds including local studs and unique breed societies. The trade exhibit area includes an extensive array of equestrian-related exhibitors providing all the latest products, feed supplies and equine related resources.

Stunning trophy rugs for the competitions are provided by Arch & Alex with further support sponsorship for the event from Gippsland Premium Quarries and Yaraandoo Park Concepts.

The German Tillage Specialist’s Australian launch at Farm World

Burder AgAttachments, one of Australia’s largest manufacturers of Front End Loaders, ForkLifts and Agricultural attachments has recently been appointed as the exclusive distributor for Rabe tillage equipment from Germany, which are part of the Gregoirre Besson group, one of Europe’s premier manufacturers of cultivation equipment.

With a passion for Excellence – Rabe’s pedigree of more than 125 years of experience in developing and manufacturing highly innovative technologies for tillage and cultivation provides the foundation for a successful partnership with Burder AgAttachments for ‘both’ today and tomorrow.

“Passion for Excellence is Rabe’s motivation driver in any step of the delivery process.”

Starting with the design, innovation and robustness of the products, the quality of production, the expertise in sales, service and parts support.

Excellence is the final result and a sign of the overall commitment from the employees in Rabe’s European factories.

Mr Mark Francis, Rabe’s manager for the Asian region said “We at Rabe feel that the knowledge and experience Burder has in the Australian market, coupled with their excellent technical support will serve the Rabe product well. With a wide range of cultivation equipment ‘and the evolving nature of the Australian agri-business sector we are certain Burder will be able to provide the Australian farmer with technologies to meet the new environment that Australian agriculture is facing. Having an existing manufacturer distributing our products gives both companies a unique, independent selling point, and a great position in the Australian market.”

“After months developing this deal and mapping a rollout plan, it’s great to get our collaboration underway” said Adam Fendyk, Burder Group General Manager.

“We are very pleased to have our own Burder Brand associated with Rabe.” Adam states “having already manufactured agricultural equipment locally, it just makes sense to join forces with one of Europe’s largest and best known cultivation equipment brands. This is a great addition to our existing suite of products and complements our existing range of products well.”

Burder is anticipating that the new business generated will create several new positions in the company. Adam states “to make deals even easier to complete, Burder will be employing skilled staff to deliver the service dealers expect for the new products.”

Added to the 60-strong manufacturing, design and sales team based in Wangaratta Victoria, Burder is well placed to meet the needs of the Australian rural sector.

With the first inventory, due to land in Australia towards the end of February, Burder is set for a big year with a great range of cultivation equipment for the Australian farmer.

The collaboration between Burder and Rabe will be officially launched at Farm World, Lardner Park, Warragul March 30 – April 2. You can view the new range at site CB13-CB15.

Massey Ferguson expands utility range with the new MF5700 Series cab tractors manufacturing tools and techniques, they still retain our traditional straightforward operation, dependability and value for money,” says Paul.

MF5700 Series features: • MF5709 (92hp), MF5710 (102hp) AGCO POWER 4.4 litre, four cylinder turbocharged, mechanical fuel injected engine Most modern straightforward transmission Massey Ferguson engineers at Beauvais, France developed a completely new transmission with hydraulic reverse shuttle and 12 synchronised forward/reverse speeds which are engaged with two straightforward levers mounted on either side of the driver’s seat.

The levers act directly on the selector rails, which offer simple, easy and reliable operation - one lever shifts the gears, while the other selects high or low range.

Operator Platform Both models are available with comfortable, flat floor platform operator environments with logical and easy to use controls that are operated manually and thanks to good, ergonomic design all fall to hand easily.

An analogue instrument panel provides information on engine speed, fuel level and temperature as well as housing the warning lights for 4WD, PTO, diff-lock and other functions.

A digital display shows PTO speed, engine hours and forward speed. A fully approved ROPS frame is fitted as standard on both

models with an optional sun canopy.

Rear Axle The modern, heavy duty, structural casting rear axle design contains new inboard reduction units and oil-immersed brakes.

Responsive electronic hitch control combines with straightforward operation of the lever. Maximum rear lift capacity is 3,300kg.

Completely new hydraulic power Massey Ferguson has developed a completely new open-centre hydraulic system for the Global Series, which exceeds the flow and pressure demands of most modern applications and implements.

This employs a responsive, high pressure gear pump to supply the main services including rear linkage and auxiliary spool valves, while another pump provides lower pressure for the auxiliary hydraulic circuits including the steering, 4WD and diff-lock engagement as well as PTO control.

This dual circuit system ensures there is always sufficient flow for continuous, efficient operations.

Centre drive four-wheel drive The modern gearbox design provides an additional output shaft to provide drive to the front axle. The drive shaft is tucked neatly underneath the centre of the gearbox and engine and is fully guarded for protection.

Four-wheel drive is engaged electro-hydraulically on the move, through a simple, robust ‘dog-tooth’

clutch. It is permanently engaged by spring pressure and released by hydraulic pressure.

The purpose-built 4WD front axles with hydrostatic steering, offer excellent maneuverability and enhanced traction.

For more information about the MF5700 Global Series please contact your local dealer or visit www.masseyferguson.com.au or call into site B21-23 & C24 at Farm World.

Massey Ferguson has announced the addition of a cab model to the MF5700 series range.

Massey Ferguson, a worldwide brand of AGCO, has announced an extension to its Global Series utility tractor range with the addition of a cab model on the MF5700 Series range.

Two new larger and more powerful models at 92hp and 102hp continue on from the successful MF4700 Series (74hp - 82hp) that was released in Australia and New Zealand in 2014.

“The release of the new MF4700 Series in 2014 was an exciting initiative as it allowed us to offer customers a new concept in utility tractors with a choice of build-specifications, options and accessories at exceptional value,” says Paul Morris, Product Manager for Massey Ferguson.

“The new MF5700 Series further increases the offering and provides added flexibility for customers wishing to tackle heavier tasks with a straightforward and dependable tractor.”

Massey Ferguson’s Global Series is the result of a $350 million investment in a completely new, clean sheet design with more than 90% of the parts and components being engineered specifically for the tractors.

“Unlike the majority of other tractors in the sector, which are based on earlier designs and components, the Massey Ferguson Global Series has been designed and built in the 21st Century and is purposebuilt for modern applications.

WARRAGUL

Vin Rowe Farm Machinery Celebrates 50 years The Vin Rowe Farm Machinery success story began in 1961 when Vin Rowe, after working for Laceys of Sale (General engineers and agricultural machinery retails), moved to Warragul to open and manage a new branch for the company. The business was established as a New Holland Machinery and David Brown Tractor dealer.

In the early 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, West Gippsland was a booming dairy area and one of the most productive in the country. Vin, together with local agricultural machinery dealers John Woods and Earl French, founded the Warragul Field Days (now known as Farm World) which quickly outgrew its home on a property near Longwarry and other temporary homes, before setting up residence at Lardner Park in 1967. From the innovation of these three local operators, Farm World has grown to be one of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest farm machinery exhibitions.

In 1970, Vin took over the business in Warragul himself and formed Vin Rowe Pty Ltd. Soon after, the company took on the Datsun Car Franchise and moved to its current Endeavour Street premises. However, in the mid 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, with the discontinuance of milk contracts and a general downturn in dairy farming, it became obvious that the company needed to diversify its product line. During the same period, Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban sprawl was increasing and as a result many vegetable growers moved from the outskirts of the city to Gippsland.

Whilst still involved with the dairy farming industry, Vin sought out involvements with suppliers of equipment compatible with vegetable growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs. Around this time the company became the Australian Importer and Distributor for the Danish carrot machinery manufacturer Asa-Lift. By bringing the Faun 1600 harvester into the country Vin was part of something of a revolution in the Australian Potato Industry with the advent of automated harvesting. This helped to establish a sound foundation for the development of the company.

In 1983, Vinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Graham Rowe took over the running of the business. Further realising the need for diversity, Graham expanded the import and distribution section which is today a very important part of the business.

Vin Rowe Farm Machinery has continued its family tradition by appointing Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Nick Rowe as a Director.

Nick is now the 3rd generation of the Rowe family to join the company, Graham and Nick are joined by Stephen Pike as Director.

Graham Rowe said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My father taught me honesty and dependability, and I strongly encourage these principles to remain as the company continues to grow today. The brief of the company today is to import and sell the most innovative machinery available, to offer the best possible service after the sale and to treat and respect our customers as friends.â&#x20AC;?

Vin Rowe are the Australian Importer and distributor of an extensive range of European equipment including AVR Potato Equipment, Asa-Lift Vegetable harvesting Equipment, Baselier and Struit tillage equipment, the complete range of Valentini Tillage and Stone Crusher equipment, and the Pasquali BCS range of walking tractors. In addition, they also import and distribute the Artsway feed mixer machines from the USA. They will be exhibiting at Farm World from Thursday 30th of March until Sunday 2nd of April 2017, showcasing their range of Kubota/Krone tractors and equipment, Kuhn Agricultural Equipment and general farm machinery.

Big year for a Big Bale feeder.

Other features like heavy duty chassis, walking beam axles with floatation tyres, large storage bins and 2 remote operation are all designed to make feeding bales quick and easier.

With now several units out in operation, they are proving to be more than living up to our expectations.

Some owners have now fed out thousands of bales and have found them easy to use and able to handle all types of bales, some weighting over 1200kg.

Farmers like the ability to go into a large herd of cows and feed out up to 3 bales without getting out of the tractor seat.

This is a great safety feature as anyone who has experienced trying to get the plastic and nett off the second bale in a mob of hungry cows.

For more information and details about the range of McIntosh Bale Feeders including the new Multi Bale Feeder please visit Trac Mac Farm Equipment on site CB126 or phone on 03 5625 1522.

2016 has certainly been a big year for McIntosh with their new Multi Bale Feeder.

At the machines release at Farm World 2016 the Multi Bale Feeder won the TMA (Tractor & Machinery Association) Best NonPowered Machine of the year.

Then at the 2016 Elmore field days, they were proud to receive the Weekly Times Best Imported Machine of the Year award for its innovative design, unique features and the ability to improve farming efficiency.

This has been a great result for McIntosh Brothers from New Zealand together with their Australian partner Trac Mac Farm Equipment.

Listening to customer’s needs, they have been working closely together over the past 18 months to develop this brand new design.

The new Multi Bale Feeder is designed to load, carry and feed out up to four round bales of silage or hay in one load.

This will greatly improve the efficiently and feed out times for farmers that feed larger herds.

The unique twin ram bale loading system allows the operator to lift and hold the bales above the platform to allow easy removal of the nett and wrap. This is especially suitable for roto-cut silage bales that can fall apart once the nett has been removed.

The bale transfer system pushes each bale up into the feeding cradle. The specially designed feeder slats allows the easy transfer of the bales, but ensuring plenty of aggression for consistent feeding.

The dual sided cradle allows accurate control of feeding out the fodder, no matter which way the bale is placed into the cradle.

The new style vertical drop side feeder chains assist in the prevention of the wheels running over the material.

The courage and determination of owner builders who tackle challenging projects single-handed is admirable.

Brendon of Lilydale, Victoria, built Paal Kit Homesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; large Castlereagh design on a deeply sloping block and made a magnificent job of it.

As well, he saved at least a quarter of a million dollars by tackling as much as possible of the work himself.

The commanding outlook was achieved by positioning the house and deck on 88 steel piers that were nearly three metres high at the deck edge.

Fascinated by the engineering side of the project and never daunted by challenges, Brendon taught himself new skills, including pier placement and support for the elevated timber flooring.

He combined his long-service and annual leave to make a strong start on the house, later employing a professional plasterer to save time.

He used the mandatory tradespeople for roofing, plumbing and electricals.

Kanga Farm Equipment has a new name Farm Implements P/L is an Australian owned and run company that specialises in tractor implements. It is the new name after the

merger of Kanga Farm Equipment (the manufacturing company) and Caroni Implements (the importing company).

The new entity is still owned and run by the Alcott family and their focus remains on supplying high quality 3-Point Linkage

BJ’S STUD CATTLE

Implements for Australian farmers to use in Australian conditions.

With the merger, KANGA FARM EQUIPMENT became the ‘house brand’ of Farm Implements.

The implements are designed and engineered based on the data and feedback they have received from 35 years in the Australian Agricultural Implement industry.

The KANGA FARM EQUIPMENT range consists of Rotary Cutters (slashers), Grader Blades, Post Hole Diggers, Rippers, Carryalls and Cultivators.

There are multiple product

ranges which means they can offer an implement to suit the majority of tractor makes and models available in Australia.

As well as KANGA, Farm Implements are the Australian distributors of CARONI IMPLEMENTS, COSMO and SICMA. CARONI IMPLEMENTS are importers of components and parts (genuine and non-genuine) for agricultural implements with the majority of parts sourced from Europe.

COSMO is an Italian company which has specialised in fertilizer spreaders and spreading technology for

over 25 years. The range includes trailer and linkage fertiliser spreaders from 180ltr to 1900ltr, with either disc or pendulum spreading solutions.

SICMA is an Italian manufacturer of Rotary Hoes, Flail Mulchers and Finishing Mowers of the highest quality. The range included Rotary Hoes from 1.0m – 3.0m (15-160hp), Flail Mowers (15-30hp Series), Flail Mulchers (30-100hp) and Finishing Mowers.

Over 35 years you witness a lot of change, but at the end of the day you won’t last long in the industry unless the products you offer are

reliable, designed/engineered for Australian conditions and supported locally.

All the implements offered

by Farm Implements come with a 12 month warranty, are supported through an extensive national dealer network and backed by an extensive parts inventory.

A wide range of KANGA, COSMO and SICMA products will be on display at site C32 during Farm World, so please feel free to stop and talk to the staff.

Alternatively, please visit our website www.farmimplements.com.au or talk to one of the sales team by calling 03 9706 5166.

Chippers/Mulchers for domestic and commercial use, both PTO and engine powered.

On Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd April, the Lardner Park Conference Centre will be converted into a Food & Fibre Fiesta showcasing produce, products and information sessions in inspiring ways.

The Food & Fibre Fiesta promises a festive ambience of exhibitor sales, demonstrations and workshops running free-of-charge throughout the weekend.

The program of demonstrations and workshops will roll over throughout the day, so visitors can stop and listen as they wish.

You can learn the wonder of simple, handmade food with a Pasta Making demonstration, a Bread and Cheese Making demonstration from inspirational entrepreneur, author and advisor, Rebel Black.

Then watch as acclaimed Peruvian-born chef, Alejandro Saravia from Pastuso restaurant in Melbourne, inspires the crowd, bringing the strong flavours and variety of Peruvian cuisine to life in his two beef cooking demonstrations on Saturday.

And of course, these days a good meal does not exist until it’s shared on social media.

We have the very talented Michelle Cann from String + Salt on hand to teach us the

tricks behind taking mouth-watering sharable food images on an iPhone.

Health and sustainability are both enduring trends shaping how our agricultural produce interacts with our bodies and our environment.

Julie Weatherhead from Peppermint Ridge will hold a demonstration showcasing the flavour and diversity of Australian native foods, and Doterra Essential Oils will illustrate how cooking with essential oils can harness the power of nature to revolutionise the way many families are managing their health.

The Food & Fibre Fiesta will be decorated with bountiful produce from the Baw Baw Food Hub, East Gippsland Food Cluster, Tarago Cheese, Ripplebrook Winery (and many more) opening our eyes to the abundance of fresh, organic produce available in our own backyard… and if growing your very own fresh produce is your passion, be sure not to miss the comprehensive Home Composting presentation.

With all this inspiration, you’re likely to need a good, strong coffee to get you started – luckily there will also be a barista-led demonstration to help you pick up all the tips on pouring the perfect brew.

Down on the sunny Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, is a company with a secret. A&A Worm Farm Waste Systems has the key to the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Worm Driven Sewage and Organic Waste Conversion System.

As we become conscious of the damage we have done to our planet, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that we must adopt practises in our daily living which lessen the impact of our lifestyle on the environment. This can be without any inconvenience and at very little cost to which you attain some big bonuses.

All this can be achieved through worms, would you believe? Worms through the good people at A&A Worm Farm Waste System.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it works, the system is simplicity itself. All that happens is that the contents of the toilet, the water from the shower, bath, dishwasher, clothes washer are piped directly to a colony of active compost worms.

The A&A system then constantly introduces fresh air into the worm driven processing tank. This design feature keeps the system aerobic (totally different to a septic tank, which is anaerobic), therefore the system has no smell.

The worms then turn the solid matter in the sewage with the flush water, shower, washing machine etc, to vermicast.

Vermicast is a solution of suspended solid which is broken down into extremely minute particles. It is black and rich in carbon. This is then discharged into the subsurface soil where it will;

- Naturally fertilise the soil - Naturally water and fertilise your garden - Over-time transforms the top layer of soil into an incredibly rich, dark coloured growing medium.

The worms, who have a voracious appetite eating at least half their weight daily, can consume and kill harmful bacteria such as e-coli, salmonella and enteric virus in the sewage, making it safe to use.

If you have an A&A Worm Farm Waste system, all your organic wastes, weeds from the garden, scraps from the kitchen etc - the organic waste which your Council collects - go straight into the processing chamber never to be seen again and cost you and the Council nothing. As of December 2015, there are more than 2000 families in Australia with a trouble-free worm-driven sewage system from A&A Worm Farm, all doing their bit to repair our environment and make it safe for our children.

The A&A Worm Farm Waste System is the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Practice, Fit, Flush and Forget sewage system. Operational cost fitted up to a four bedroom family home is around $20 per year, unless you include a small solar panel, in which case, it costs nothing and is all benefit.

Installation is about the same as any other system. To find out more, phone A&A Worm Farm Waste Systems on (03) 5979 1877, or visit them at Farm World. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look after you!

It really is the starting point for Polaris Safety Technologies which underpin the entire Polaris Side x Side range.

The Ranger series of Side x Side utility vehicles provides a vast selection of models to satisfy virtually every imaginable requirement with seating from two to six seats,

petrol, diesel and electric, 2 wheel-drive and All-Wheel-Drive plus unlocking rear diffs for turf friendly performance.

With innovations such as All-WheelDescent-Control (ADC) Polaris has eliminated some of the criticisms from owners operating in hilly terrain levelled at some other Side x Side brands.

Also a leader in the familiar ATV segment, Polaris provides an extensive line-up with Heavy Duty suspension construction on many models with grease nipples to extend the working life of vehicles in the harsher commercial applications such as dairy.

Accessory choices are abundant and can be found in the 192 page accessories catalogue or on-line.

A truly customisable package with multiple roof, door and windscreen variations means the vehicle can be adapted to suit any work environment and escape from the elements.

The US company has now become the largest supplier of Side x Side utility vehicles in Australia, indeed worldwide.

Not all models have all features so it is a matter of selecting the model that best satisfies your needs.

Oringi Protection Wear changed hands mid last year and are now Australian owned - they are dedicated to maintaining the high standard of service and support their customers are used to.

For people who work on the land, who are fed up with having to endure heavy, uncomfortable, and restrictive rainwear and workwear.

Oringi Protection Wear is a mail order company based in Victoria for approximately 20 years providing garments that are 100 per cent waterproof and windproof, lightweight, strong and machine washable.

These garments have been designed by farmers for farmers and they are manufactured for Oringi in Belgium by a company that was established in the 1950s to produce protective clothing for the workers on the North Sea oil rigs. That this company is now a major supplier of industrial clothing in the Northern Hemisphere is an indication of the quality and durability of its products.

With an extensive range of waterproofs that include non-split pants and bib overalls, raincoats, vests, aprons, dairy sleeves, dairy smocks and more. Some of the Oringi range has been especially designed for horse riders, farmers – including dairy and general wear.

Oringi have a good selection of woollen jumpers in 80 per cent wool 20 per cent nylon mix, in two styles. The jumpers are made in New Zealand to Oringi specifications and offer very good value.

Also available is a line of Possum/Merino knitwear.

LARGE VOLUME WIDE BODY SPREADERS

The latest offerings from some of Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading farm machinery manufacturers, including CLAAS and AMAZONE, will be on show at the CLAAS Harvest Centre display at Farm World Field Days.

Hosted by the CLAAS Harvest Centre dealerships in Warragul and Leongatha, the display will feature the complete range of AXION, ARION and AXOS advanced technology tractors and SCORPION telehandlers from CLAAS. CLAAS Harvest Centre, South Gippsland Dealer Principal, Anthony Blackshaw, says the iconic German manufacturer now markets more than 30 different models from 75 to 524 hp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each model features the same exacting levels of performance, efficiency, versatility, reliability and comfort that have made CLAAS the best in the business,â&#x20AC;? he says.

A comprehensive line-up of CLAAS green harvesting equipment, including frontmounted, rear-mounted and trailed DISCO mowers; single, dual or four-rotor LINER rakes and high performance VARIANT round balers, will also be on display.

The revamped DISCO series of mowers and mower-conditioners now boasts 28 new models with operating widths from 2.6 to 10.7 m.

All models incorporate the new CLAAS MAX CUT cutterbar, whose innovative onepiece, wave-shaped design offers optimal cutting quality, efficiency and durability under all conditions.

The CLAAS Harvest Centre site will also feature the latest spreading technology from AMAZONE, including the award-winning AMAZONE ZA-TS and the new ZA-V series.

CLAAS Harvest Centre, Gippsland Branch Manager, Luke Sibson, says the ZA-TS establishes new industry benchmarks for precision, efficiency and operational ease.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every component has been designed to ensure fast, even and precise spreading over wide areas,â&#x20AC;? Luke says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Productivity aside, improved accuracy has an important role to play in quality assurance, environment sustainability and risk management.â&#x20AC;?

The latest models incorporate integrated weigh-cell and tilt sensor technology, electronically-controlled hydraulics, GPS automated part-width section control and headland systems and easy-to-use ISOBUS-compatible terminals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re incredibly easy to operate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you simply enter the desired spreading rate and drive off,â&#x20AC;? Luke says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The two weighing cells detect any deviation between the desired application rate and the amount being discharged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition, the on-board tilt sensor measures any deviation in the centre of gravity, both front to back and left to right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The processor then automatically adjusts the electric metering shutter slides to ensure an even spreading pattern.â&#x20AC;?

The new ZA-V linkage-mounted spreaders, available in a range of hopper sizes from 1700 litres to 4200 L, deliver the same precision and innovation, but in a more â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;everydayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; size.

All AMAZONE spreaders feature AMAZONEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proven â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;soft ballistic proâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; technology, which ensures all components of the agitation, metering and spreading system are optimally matched to protect the integrity of the fertiliser granules.

A range of other AMAZONE equipment, including front and rear linkage-mounted and trailed sprayers, cultivation equipment and integrated power harrows and drill combinations, will also be on display.

The Claas Harvest Centre site will feature the award-winning AMAZONE ZA-TS Spreader.

ensuring quality is matched with value-formoney.

Special emphasis is put into the engineering of their designs, ensuring they will withstand anything the Australian climate throws at them.

While the Dorset range is the perfect residential greenhouse, their Stately and Windsor ranges are designed for acreage and high wind areas. They don’t use any click systems and shortcuts (which will often fail in adverse weather), it’s true nuts and bolts construction only for their ranges.

2017 is shaping up as a big year with the upcoming launch of some new designs.

Grow-Fresh Greenhouses are thrilled to be exhibiting at Farm World for the 4th year in a row. They have a great display of greenhouses planned and some fan-

Dumac Distributors P/L a 100% Australian owned and operated company, manufacturing and selling our own brand of waste disposal pumps since 1963.

We manufacture with a maximum of Australian made materials.

The first model was the “Filter-Cut” pump which is still manufactured and has been updated over the years but with the important key features retained in today’s model.

Originally, it was a hori-

zontal unit with the body cast into the pit wall and the motor mounted above the pit, which had problems.

These were overcome by our first vertical column waste pump, the first in Australia and possibly the world for this application.

The “Filter-Cut” pump worked well, but like all other pumps it was subject to excessive wear. A decision was made to go in a different direction with the wet end, it would not have the cutting action and agitation of the “Filter-Cut” but be tough enough to handle abrasive and large solids.

The “Ruffy” pump model was released September 1974 with great success and did so well it still retains the main features of the original and has only had 2 modifications in that time and they were both done within the first year after its release.

The “Filter-Cut” pump comes in 2 outlet sizes, 11/2” and 2” BSP and in column lengths to suit pit depths from 2’6” (760mm) to 12’ (4.57m) all have an external agitator blade that is attached to a 75mm extended impeller nut which are both made from case hardened steel.

This, together with replaceable hardened steel tips, fitted to the faces of the impellor vanes and a

hardened steel perforated plate with a clearance of approximately .020”, combine to agitate and cut up solids; it is a true cutting action not just bashing.

The 11/2” model can have motors from 2Hp – 7.5Hp (1.5kW - 5.5kW) with a maximum of 28m shut off head or 680l/min open discharge.

The 2” model can have motors from 5.5Hp – 25Hp (4kW – 18.5kW) with a maximum of 73m shut off head or 1450l/min open discharge.

The “Ruffy” pump at present has a 2” BSP outlet with column lengths to suit pit depths from 2’6” (760mm) to 6’ (1.83m), it has a large open steel impellor with a heavy walled cast iron casing.

Suction is unique, in that it is from above the casing and when in operation there is negative pressure in the column and therefore does not require any seals.

Standard operation for the “Ruffy” is direct coupled with a 3Hp (2.2kW) 1440 rpm motor, depending on the distance or liquid being pumped may need a 4Hp (3kW) motor, where higher output is required it can be belt driven with a 5.5Hp – 7.5Hp (4kW – 5.5kW) motor, also becoming popular is in 3phase operation, it is direct coupled with the larger Hp and a variable speed drive.

The output is from 24m – 35m shut off head or from 980l/min – 1200/min open discharge.

The “Filter – Cut” range of pumps are most suitable where there are softer solids in suspension, heavy sediment or high heads.

The most common applications are in Piggeries, Abattoirs, Wineries and food processing plants or similar operations.

The “Ruffy” range of pumps are most suitable where there are hard or abrasive solids or very high volumes over shorter distances with low power requirements and minimal maintenance.

The most common applications are in Dairies, Abattoirs, Wineries and in recent years some mining applications.

None of the pumps will pump plastic bags or bailing twine, but at the same time under normal circumstances they will not damage the pumps and both the “Filter – Cut” and “Ruffy” pumps can be run dry without damage.

Dumac Pumps are also agents for the Teco range of electric motors and variable speed drives and the Ebara range of pumps which have everything from domestic systems, borehole, submersibles and mining pumps.

The BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF So much fun and positivity has been milked out of the dairy industry in the past year, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to put a little back â&#x20AC;&#x201C; introducing the BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF at Farm World 2017.

The concept is simpleâ&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Hand Milking competition - One hand - One teat One minute. The contestant who can extract the most milk within one minute wins the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Milk OFFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; trophy.

The hook lies with the contestants, as these are not your run-of-the-mill dairy farmersâ&#x20AC;Ś weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see everyone from Councillors and media to baristas and school children fighting it out against their contempo-

raries for the glory of the Milk OFF trophy.

The BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF will kick off at 12:00pm on Thursday 30th March in the historic Rotunda with plenty of colour and interactive displays including Sallie Jones and Steve Ronaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from Gippsland Jersey in some very eye-catching costumes.

First cab off the rank will be some representatives of the next generation of dairy farmers, who will fight it out in a School Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MilkOff at 12:00pm on Thursday.

This will be closely followed by some of the Agricultural Industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most proactive female representa-

tives in the Women in Agriculture Milk Off at 2:30pm.

The fun will continue on Friday 31st March with a political stand-off at 10:30am as Gippsland MPs and Councillors test their skill in the second day of the BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF. While the local politicians may have a good understanding of the dairy industry, there are few occupations with more passion for milk than your local barista â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but can they extract it themselves?

Some of Gippslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best baristas will take the challenge in the Barista Milk Off at 12:00pm on Friday.

There will be two opportunities to see some of your favourite media personalities test whether the gift-ofthe-gab translates to talent in the milk shed in the Media Milk Offs at 1:30pm on Friday and 12:00pm on Saturday.

There will also be plenty of opportunities for Farm World visitors to walk away with a Milk Off trophy, in the weeks leading up to Farm World we will be giving away 12 general public tickets through local media, which include entry to Farm World and the opportunity to compete in the BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF. Alongside the crowdpleasing hilarity of the BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF, there will also be displays educating the crowd on the history of the dairy industry, and the contribution it makes to both the local economy and the Victorian milk supplies.

Flashmate heat detector lights up AI program for South Gippsland dairy farmer Craig and Deb Allott are third-generation dairy farmers who sharefarm with their daughter and son-inlaw on the family property at Hazel Park in South Gippsland. During this autumnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joining program, they used the Flashmate electronic heat detector from Gallagher for the first time and havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked back yet.

First off - What is Flashmate?

Flashmate is an electronic heat detection device that monitors riding activity in dairy cows to work out when an animal is in standing heat.

It looks for specific patterns of riding/mounting by other cows - such as frequency, amount and duration of activity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and flashes red to indicate when a cow is ready for AI. If the cow doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come back into heat within 25 days of being AIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d, the Flashmate will flash green to indicate a possible conception.

Previous heat detection experience: Craig has used traditional methods for detecting heats before but with mixed results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used tail-paint and tried scratchies too, which have not been really successful.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cows will find trees across the property that they can have a scratch against â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s given us false readings. Likewise tailpaint is ok but sometimes you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really tell if the cow is definitely â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;onâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and ready for AI.â&#x20AC;?

This has meant that someone with Craigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skill and expertise has always had to be present during milking times â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to be able to recognise the patterns of when a cow is in standing heat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A problem we had before was that cows brought in for milking might have been let go from the shed and put back out into the paddock before weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the chance to properly ID which ones are in heat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even then, if someone with the right experience is there to keep an eye on things, an autumn joining period often means that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re milking in near-darkness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very hard to accurately pick out the cows that are ready for AI sometimesâ&#x20AC;?.

Why try Flashmate then?

The main reason Craig says they chose Flashmate was greater ease and efficiency in correctly identifying cows that are in heat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did consider theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a bit more expensive than other options out there but

if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re picking out more cows â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and more accurately, more easily and faster too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then that helps to balance the cost out I think.â&#x20AC;?

Another reason lay in the application of the Flashmates. According to Craig, applying them was also pretty easy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just did it during milking while the cows were on the platform. So I just went along and sprayed them with the glue while his wife, daughter and sonin-law were milking. And by the time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d sprayed them Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just go back to the start again and pop them on â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was pretty good to apply them and less mess than paint.â&#x20AC;?

What happened next?

Having applied Flashmates to 150 of his herd, two or three days passed before the first one was activated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as the Flashmate was on though, it was very easy to see and that made it a bit exciting!

Within about a month, you could look across the farm at a certain paddock at night and there were green and red flashes flickering all over the place â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was like a light show â&#x20AC;&#x201C; quite interesting to see.â&#x20AC;?

Easier and more accurate That same light show enabled Craig and other

dairy workers to see exactly which cows were responding to the AI program: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The milkers can actually identify the cows without needing someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a lot of expertise in knowing the cycle patterns to watch out for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Flashmate allows anybody to tell whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saving us time and effort and cutting out the guesswork from other methods weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used in the pastâ&#x20AC;?.

Craig notes that Flashmate accurately identified one particularly quiet cow that had never shown any signs of mounting activity in the past seven years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never seen her bulling, never picked up on a cycle before and actually selected her for AI for the first time ever because of Flashmate. In the past weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d normally have the bull pick her up later on, so that was a big bonus to see happen this time around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say Flashmate has definitely made life a lot simpler.

Picking up more cattle the way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allowed us to, more accurately and quicker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to using it again this spring joining period too.â&#x20AC;?

easily managed, learn routine quickly, not too big, generally easy on fencing, inquisitive and alert, bond with other livestock and require minimal infrastructure.

A Farming Tool Alpacas are used for protection in sheep flocks, free range poultry enterprises and goat herds to name a few areas.

Most alpacas naturally have a protective instinct and bond well with other livestock.

Their ‘alarm call’ - a high pitched squeal - is one of their big assets.

The other animals soon learn to recognise this, look up and around and cluster together with the alpaca or head for where they know it is safe.

Alpacas have been regularly seen chasing predators, herding animals to safety

and protecting young animals.

At Merungle they have observed the reaction to their dog to pick the most suitable ‘herd protectors’.

A Commercial Enterprise The end product is developing into a viable fleece industry with side lines being developed with meat and hide.

A lot is happening in this area.

In Victoria we have AFN (Australian Fleece Network) which is breeders pooling fleece so there are marketable quantities within narrow parameters to suit manufacturers’ requirements in Australia and internationally.

AAFL (Australian Alpaca Fleece Ltd) buys the fleece and a lot of that fleece goes to Peru and comes back to Australia as ‘Australian Alpaca - made in Peru’.

Weenlings from the Merungle Alpaca Stud.

The Peruvians have a lot of expertise with alpaca fleece.

Some fleece is also processed in Australia and some in New Zealand.

Lakeside Pavilion will once again be bustling with alpacas and some fabulous products.

There will be felting demonstrations each day and the Alpaca Paraders will demostrate alpaca handling skills.

The ‘free entry’ raffle, with numerous chances to win some alpaca products will again be available to everyone who visits Lakeside Pavilion.

We look forward to welcoming you and answering your questions and providng you with alpaca experience and information.

Farming has changed dramatically over the past century

NOW WITH WIDE GROOVES

Dairy farmers are thrilled with the results

The agricultural sector has overcome many challenges, including drought, flood, fire, salinity and changing commodity prices.

What hasn’t changed is the importance of agriculture as a $58 billion driver of Australia’s economy.

Nor have our farmers

changed: they remain resilient, innovative and committed to the land.

Nationals’ Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said The Nationals were champions of regional Australia.

“As part of the Federal Coalition, we are imple-

menting policies and practical actions, and investing to ensure the agricultural sector prospers,” Mr Chester said.

“Dairy farmers were in turmoil last year when two processors announced retrospective cuts to milk prices.

“The Federal Coalition announced a $579 dairy

FARM WORLD 2017

assistance package and held a national inquiry to examine the industry’s competitiveness, trading practices, milk prices and supply chain. One hearing was held in Traralgon for Gippsland farmers.”

The Federal Coalition also committed $20 million to upgrade the Macalister Irrigation District. With matching funding from the State Government and Southern Rural Water, the $60 million Phase 1B Southern Tinamba Pipeline upgrade will improve productivity and reduce water loss.

The $4 billion Agricultural Competitiveness White Paper has also benefitted the industry.

“The white paper foreshadowed changes to farm management deposits to allow farmers to reduce interest on their debt; and delivered sweeping changes to country of origin food labelling to give consumers clearer, more meaningful information about the products they buy,” Mr Chester said.

“While we can’t predict the future, The Nationals are working to ensure the agricultural sector and our communities can weather whatever challenges lie ahead.”

Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath said that access to water will always be crucial for Gippsland’s agricultural sector.

“Next to people and land, water is the most important commodity in our state,” Ms Bath said. “Not only will the MID project provide stability and water security for dairy farmers in the region, but the long awaited upgrade will also generate jobs for the region.”

The $60 million MID upgrade will provide water efficiencies and ongoing reliable water supply. The project will enable best practice in the region through the conversion of 85 kilometres of open channels to HDPE pipeline with an added benefit of reduced network flow into Gippsland waterways.

“This all leads to increased productivity and much needed security within our farming communities.” Ms Bath said.

Member for Gippsland South Danny O’Brien said water and better infrastructure, such as roads, were critical to the success of local farmers, especially the dairy industry.

“It’s been a tough year for the region’s dairy farmers, especially those coming off a record dry 2015/16 season - price cuts last year rocked the industry and The Nationals were active in lobbying the State Government for better support for affected dairy farmers,” Mr O’Brien said.

“Thankfully, we’ve had a good wet year and the conditions have meant farmers could focus on doing what Gippslanders do best – growing good grass for their herds. We’ve had great silage and hay harvests and that has made life a lot easier for many farmers. Cash flow is still a problem for many, but hopefully we are now over the worst and will see some price step-ups in coming months.

“We’ll continue to fight for the infrastructure and policy settings local farmers need to thrive.”

Dairy hasn’t been the only industry facing tough times recently.

In the Latrobe Valley, Labor’s increase in taxes on energy generators has forced Hazelwood Power Station to close.

“Victorian household electricity bills have skyrocketed this year as Daniel Andrews steers our state on the path to an energy security crisis,” Member for Morwell Russell Northe said.

“From 1 January, many Victorian households have been hit by a 10 per cent rise in their power bills because of Daniel Andrews’ policy to increase the tax on coal which forced Hazelwood to close.

“It will also cost a lot more for businesses which will pay up to 16.6 per cent more for electricity, an increase that will ultimately be passed onto consumers.”

Meanwhile, timber mills in East Gippsland and the Latrobe Valley were not guaranteed adequate timber supply by the Andrews Government in early 2017, threatening hundreds of local jobs at a time when unemployment in LatrobeGippsland was the highest in country Victoria.

Member for Gippsland East Tim Bull said it was devastating to watch the uncertainty and stress on our East Gippsland communities in recent months.

“Daniel Andrews has refused to support East Gippsland’s forestry industry for two years,” Mr Bull Said.

“It put a huge amount of stress on local families that rely on employment opportunities at Heyfield and other mills to pay the bills.

“Although we still have some challenges ahead in parts of our region, there are also plenty of things for us to be proud of.

“Gippsland is a great place to live, work and raise a family and we have important industries that really kick the tin when it comes to our national economy, including horticulture, livestock, dairy, timber, mining, tourism, fishing and others.

“These are all industries we need as a nation and should be proud to have here.”

Study and recreation combine at Scotch College Melbourne There are up to 160 Year 7 to 12 boarders, mostly from country Victoria and southern New South Wales, resident in the three boarding houses at Scotch College Melbourne.

Boarding at Scotch places boys close to the heart of Melbourne, with the campus a short train or tram ride from the city and some of Melbourne’s major landmarks.

In any one day, boys can go from rowing training on the Yarra River at the rear of the school, or playing tennis on one of the

college’s 26 courts, or playing music in the James Forbes Academy (a purpose-built centre for music and drama, with a theatre, auditorium and dozens of rehearsal and practice spaces), or investigating biology, chemistry, physics or psychology in the recently opened Sir Zelman Cowen Centre for Science.

With construction of a new facility for Design and Technology due for completion at the end of 2017, boys have access to electives across a broad range of academic and co-curricular programs.

Supervised by school staff, study sessions are conducted every weeknight in the boarding school, as well as twice-weekly tutorial sessions in English and mathematics.

Each year boys participate in dozens of different extension activities with the school always strongly represented amongst the high achievers in the VCE results and internationally recognised competitions.

Boys can also choose from many competitive and recreational activities having access to seven sports fields and an indoor sports centre.

An extensive co-curricular program develops confidence and leadership skills through courses that include cadets, cycling, kayaking, hiking, sailing, scuba diving and fly fishing, to name but a few.

Parents wishing to obtain further details about boarding at Scotch College should contact the Admissions Office (Tel. 9810 4203).

It’s good for your hip pocket but it is good for the environment because there’s less smoke and you’re burning less fuel.”

Mr Stride said the business strived to achieve the best warranty and the most efficient product on the market with its clean burning fireplaces.

The business stocks three brands of wood fires from

the largest fireplace companies in the world, including Australia’s most efficient slow combustion wood fire, which boasts up to 86 per cent efficiency.

Mr Stride said the business had taken on knowledge and expertise from the brands it sells, including Kemlan, which has a range of modern Australian-made wood fires.

To get your house winter ready visit the Jetmaster Heat and Glo team at site number 208 at the Farm World exhibition.

There’s no better way to warm up this winter than with a wood burning fireplace, and Jetmaster Heat & Glo’s impressive range is a great place to start when looking for a fireplace.

Operating in Australia for nearly 40 years, Jetmaster Heat & Glo offers a wide variety of gas and wood heaters to suit the needs of any household.

Sales director Ashley Stride said he expected the company’s wood fires to be popular among regional consumers at the Warragul Farm World.

“If they’re off-the-grid, no availability of gas they (wood fires) are certainly the cheaper way to heat the home,” he said.

Jetmaster Heat and Glo will have staff on hand to assist consumers with their search for the perfect wood heater to suit their needs.

Mr Stride said the business would have about 15 models of wood fires from its wood fire brands on display during the event.
