Backing our industry

Agriculture support

BY DEAN LAWSON Editor

A

Wimmera changeover from summer to autumn has long been a significant time on the calendar for the region’s farming communities.

It represents a time to leave behind experiences from a summer harvest and productivity, good, bad or indifferent, and prepare for the next season and the sowing of new crops and building livestock assets.

The iconic Wimmera Machinery Field Days at Longerenong north of Horsham, one of the biggest events of its kind in Australia, has traditionally run parallel to the seasonal change.

It is an event that has represented much more than a simple showcase for the latest farming machinery and technology, albeit from around the world.

It has also provided a promotion and snapshot of regional and rural culture and an opportunity for farming communities, leaders, businesses, advocates and families to catch up and generate a sense of solidarity.

Unfortunately, uncertainty about the COVID-19 pandemic

COLLABORATION: From left, radio station 3WM account manager James Davidson, Emmetts Horsham sales manager Derek Reid and integrated sales manager Matt Burns and The Weekly Advertiser account manager Lee Meadows promote this week’s special AgLife edition.

Picture: NICK RIDLEY forced disappointed organisers to make an early call and abandon this year’s event.

But while the event that has held pride of place in March is notable by its absence this year, the region’s bustling farming activity continues in its preparations.

It is a circumstance far from lost on staff at The Weekly Advertiser and Wimmera radio stablemates 3WM, who are again delighting in partnering businesses in spreading the word

about our region of growth and production.

Apart from The Weekly Advertiser expanding a usual monthly AgLife feature to an AgLife Week promotion, 3WM will be broadcasting live from several businesses.

This will provide businesses with the chance to highlight their suppliers, products and services.

Horsham radio content director Adam Roche said the summer-autumn change was an ideal time to celebrate the

Wimmera-Mallee’s farming backbone.

“We’re committed to agriculture and how it makes the region tick,” he said.

“We’re asking listeners as well as readers to support the agricultural industry, its ag firms, farming enterprises and allied businesses.

“We encourage people tuning into to 3WM and following social media to keep an ear and eye out for some of the promotions and special deals on offer.”

BY DR ANNE WEBSTER, Federal Member for Mallee The Wimmera Machinery Field Days has always been a feature on the region’s calendar. It is an iconic gathering that draws farmers, locals, investors and people from across Victoria and Australia.

Sadly, the field days are not going ahead this year. Traditionally it is a time when broadacre growers get together to see new technology, catch up with mates and hear the local news.

It is such a vibrant and exciting gathering, showcasing suppliers who are providing displays and offering discounts.

The event brings more than opportunities for growth and investment, it is also evidence of pride in the region.

The field days support the competitiveness of our agricultural industries by promoting new technologies and high-quality produce, growing the sector even further.

Throughout Australia our agricultural shows and field days generate more than $1-billion in income and are visited by six-million people. About 50,000 people volunteer their time to see them run.

The agriculture sector and our farming community are the lifeblood of Australia. As a proud food and fibre nation, we want to see our industries growing and thriving. This is why the Australian Government has adopted the Ag2030 target to grow agriculture to $100 billion by 2030.

To stride toward this ambition, it is important we get behind our most vital asset – the men and women in agriculture.

Here in regional Australia, when ag is thriving, our towns are thriving and the local economy is healthy.

I was pleased to fight and secure support for our field days, and I’m pleased the Liberal-Nationals government has provided $21-million for round two of the Supporting Agricultural Shows and Field Days program. This support builds on the $34.5-million awarded to 378 grantees under the first round.

These times are difficult, but it is support like this, like AgLife Week, and support of the community that backs our ag industry. Ag2030 is ensuring agricultural producers receive maximum returns for their hard work, which in turn ensures vibrant rural and regional communities.

Science wins in Chloe’s career path A

BY NICK RIDLEY

creative job on stage or screen or a job in science?

That is the decision Chloe Findlay had to make before she decided to move from Melbourne to Horsham.

Ms Findlay, from New Zealand, revealed that an acting career was as much a possibility as working in agricultural science when she pondered her eventual career pathway.

“Ultimately the science side of me won,” she said.

Two years ago, just after turning 21, Ms Findlay took on a job at Agriculture Victoria’s Horsham SmartFarm, where she worked in soil sciences and pulse-breeding programs.

“Food is a massive commodity and it’s not going anywhere,” she said.

“You are going to have a job; even throughout this pandemic, we still had jobs.”

Ms Findlay said she still engaged her creative side with Horsham Arts Council and had performed in some of its productions.

“I was in the Disney concert last year, which was awesome,” she said.

Ms Findlay studied a Bachelor of Agriculture majoring in plant and soil sciences at the University of Melbourne, graduating in 2019.

In 2021 she successfully completed her honours on the impact of temperature on fungal disease of lentils.

Wednesday, February 23, 2022

Ms Findlay now works at Grains Innovation Park as a technical assistant in the labs and glass houses and occassionally supports field technicians in the paddock at Horsham SmartFarm.

Her work investigates disease in barley in Australia to help growers with disease management.

“We are at a time of innovation and productivity and we are providing to billions of people, it’s exciting,” Ms Findlay said.

Grains Research and Development Corporation and Agriculture Victoria invests in her work.

Ms Findlay said agriculture was a wide and vast industry that had many aspects.

“In agricultural science you are looking at a global perspective in terms of food security, import and export of products and economics of the industry,” she said.

Ms Findlay said she felt ‘incredibly’ supported during her time in Horsham.

“My family and all my teachers have always said to me ‘do whatever you are interested in, and we will support you’,” she said.

Ms Findlay said the people who gave her the greatest support in pursuing a career in the agricultural industry were her housemate, scientific agricultural researcher Angela Van de Wouw and her mother.

“In agricultural science you are looking at a global perspective in terms of food security, import and export of products and economics of the industry”

CLOSE WATCH: Agriculture Victoria technical assistant Chloe Findlay.

“My housemate has gone through the hard yards and shares her wisdom with me, and my mother, knowing who I am as a person, encouraged me to get into agricultural science,” she said.

“I often second-guess myself and I do have some ‘imposter syndrome’, but they have made me feel important knowing I will do well.”

Ms Findlay said the agricultural in-

dustry was a progressive industry for women.

“In the agriculture science industry there are a large number of women from all backgrounds. It doesn’t matter if you are from a regional or metro background – we don’t discriminate,” she said.

Ms Findlay said her interest in agriculture began in Southeast Asia watching farmers.

– Chloe Findlay

“I have lived in Thailand, Indonesia and South Korea and I’ve always been fascinated by how food is produced and how different it was in Southeast Asia compared with Australia,” she said.

“When I was living there the conversation about food security and having enough for our growing population was very prevalent.”

Ms Findlay said young girls should take any opportunity they could to get into any sort of science field.

“If you think you are interested in science, take on those opportunities.

If your school has a field trip, program or camp, go on them and see if you like it,” she said.

Ms Findlay said she wanted to focus on farming sustainability as well as research into climate change and pulses.

“I would like to work in that part of the industry, producing and adapting these species to survive conditions such as heat or frost, and leading research projects,” she said.

Lack of connection without field days A

BY NICK RIDLEY

Rupanyup farmer and agricultural entrepreneur has spoken of the strong community connection generated by the Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

David Matthews, who also writes a monthly From Left Field column for AgLife, lamented the absence of the important annual social occasion this year, fearing it would diminish opportunities for farming communities to interact and socialise.

He said there was a level of intimacy at events that was hard to get through an online meeting.

“Farmers are missing that from not having the field days,” he said.

Field days traditionally showcase latest developments in farming practices, machinery, equipment, technology and services.

Mr Matthews said Wimmera Machinery Field Days provided a base where farmers could access critical information.

“This showcase is a huge week in western Victoria – it brings people to the region and all the hotels are

“Farming is a complex and demanding business that requires significant investment and knowledge”

– David Matthews

full,” he said. “There is information on new crop varieties, new treatments for seed and pests, and there is new machinery for farmers to look at.”

Mr Matthews said he had experienced the field days from two perspectives – as a farmer and as an exhibitor.

“In some metro regions the agriculture industry isn’t shown for what it really is – a progressive industry,” he said.

Wimmera Machinery Field Days organisers announced in late January they would cancel this year’s event because of uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr Matthews is a third-generation Wimmera farmer, a key instigator in the development of community banking across regional Australia and remains a Bendigo and Adelaide Bank director.

He also founded farmer-owned

agribusiness Farm Trade Australia in 2020 and was a former owner of Wimmera Grain Company He said despite the COVID-19 pandemic he felt confident about the agricultural industry, with ‘bright and new’ talent deciding to work in the industry.

“I am feeling confident about the agricultural sector, everyone is having a good season,” he said.

“We have been lucky to run our businesses normally during the COVID-19 pandemic, compared with hospitality and entertainment businesses.

“But every industry has been impacted by COVID-19.

“In the agricultural industry the pandemic has caused disruptions to shipping schedules and delays with the port disruptions.”

Mr Matthews said the perception of farming from people from nonfarming backgrounds was that it was an easy life.

“Some people I meet say farming is a nice lifestyle,” he said.

“But it is a complex and demanding business that requires significant investment and knowledge.”

KEEPING WATER MOVING: Wimmera Aquatrail manager Luke O’Connor looks over a water pump undergoing a service in Horsham as part of a build-up to a new farming season and a ‘Mini Field Day’ on site on March 2.

Wimmera Aquatrail has been busy providing pump and irrigation support for agricultural and domestic services and will have a variety of specials during the March 2 promotion.

Grant’s finger on the pulse P

BY NICK RIDLEY

lant pathologist Grant Hollaway came to Horsham ‘for only a few weeks of work’ in 1992.

Mr Hollaway this month won recognition for more than 30 years of service to the grains industry.

Grains Research and Development Corporation awarded him a 2022 southern Recognising and Rewarding Excellence Award.

Mr Hollaway, based at Horsham’s Grains Innovation Park, said he was ‘stunned and truly honoured’ to receive the excellence award.

“It’s been a privilege to be able to work in such a progressive industry and to make a contribution where I can,” he said.

“It’s important to recognise the work I have done and the achievements of so many other people.

“They should take a lot of pride in this award, particularly the plant pathology team at Agriculture Victoria.

“One of the great pleasures of working in plant pathology is being among the network of experts across the nation.

“Many of those people have been so generous with their time to help me develop as a scientist so I can help support the Victorian grains industry.”

Mr Hollaway started from humble beginnings when he graduated from university studies.

HONOURED: Horsham plant pathologist Grant Hollaway is honoured to receive Grains Resarch and Development Corporation’s 2022 southern Recognising and Rewarding Excellence Award.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER After his studies he began working in shearing sheds and travelled throughout Australia before starting with Grains Research and Development Corporation.

“I started at GRDC as a casual, then I moved into a role as a technical as-

sistant, then a scientist, afterwards a group leader and now I lead a group of 10 to 12 people,” he said.

Mr Hollaway said he was ‘very’ fortunate to have been able to stay in his field of research.

“When I started, pulses were quite

a new thing for farmers and now they are an integral part of the cropping system, in particular lentils and chickpeas,” he said “The profitability of farming has changed since I started. It is a much bigger industry now.”

to suit every application

Cash for soil data

A new Australian government program will see farmers and other land managers receive payment in exchange for sharing historical soil test data.

Minister for Agriculture David Littleproud said $21-million would be available to land managers wanting to contribute their soil data to a national database.

“The Historical Soil Data Capture Payments Program is part of a national soil strategy that aims to build knowledge for land managers to benchmark their soil against regional or type averages,” he said.

“We know there is a lot of privately held soil data captured for agricultural management and other purposes. This program aims to gather and preserve soil data and make it centrally and publicly available for others to use.

“Better soil data will lead to improved research, technology and policy outcomes and will benefit all Australians.

“The Australian government is seeking suitably qualified service providers to act as data brokers to help deliver the program.”

Land managers can contribute their data when the program launches by engaging with Data Brokers.

Continued support for ag students S

tudents at a leading agricultural college in the Wimmera accepted scholarships from an Australian agribusiness to support them during their tertiary education.

Longerenong College students Thomas Baird and Melea Mckay each received $5000 from Fox and Lillie Rural, the direct wool-buying and brokerage arm of the Australian wool, aquaculture and seafood trading company, Fox and Lille.

The 2021-22 Fox and Lillie Rural Foundation Scholarships are given to aid student pursuits in the agricultural industry and provide financial assistance for tuition fees and housing throughout a two-year course.

Thomas, originally from Curlwaa in New South Wales, said the scholarship would provide financial stability during his studies.

“It’s been fantastic meeting all these likeminded people at Longerenong College,” he said.

“Undertaking a work placement at Fox and Lillie this year, as part of the scholarship, will provide another perspective into the wool industry to see how it all works. I am really looking forward to the program.”

Fox and Lillie Rural managing director Jonathon Lillie said the company had offered student scholarships

HEAD START: Longerenong College students Melea Mckay, above, and Thomas Baird, centre, received a $5000 scholarship from Fox and Lillie managing director James Lillie, left, and Fox and Lille Rural Mildura store manager Peter Dow. at Longerenong College for five years as part of the business’s ongoing commitment to attract more young people to the wool industry.

“We are excited to be playing our role in supporting the next generation coming into the agribusiness industry,” he said.

“Longerenong College and other agriculture colleges and universities are providing students with excellent training in the rural sector and we are excited to see there is so much growing interest in the industry.”

Longerenong College business development officer Donna Winfield said the college had experienced a booming couple of years with a high number of enrolments for 2022.

“The range of animal, agronomy, business and digital studies offered at Longerenong College has drawn a lot of interest from young people across Australia who are looking to pursue a career in the agricultural industry,” she said.

“We thank companies like Fox and Lillie who have been supporting stu-

dents at the college for several years and continue to do so.

“These scholarships have the ability to change the course of someone’s future, whether it be from the financial contribution or from the experience gained during the work placement offered.”

Due to the agricultural college’s continued attraction to students from across Australia, the college, with support from the State Government’s Agricultural College Modernisation Program, announced a $6.5-million

upgrade to student accommodation, communal buildings and parking facilities.

The upgrades are due for completion at the end of 2023.

Ms Winfield said the project would support the college to meet the increasing demand from students who wished to study agriculture while experiencing the benefits associated with a full-residential education experience.

Lazy days ahead

I

’ve just finished my 45th harvest and it’s been one of the best.

It seemed like a good time to hand over control, so from February 1 the young cousins now manage day-to-day operations of the farm business.

A few things guided us to the decision to merge farms with the cousins.

Firstly, we wanted to keep farming. Selling up and retiring wasn’t attractive.

Secondly, we needed to properly resource the business. Farms are now such complex enterprises and you need highly skilled people to operate them. And you need to work extreme hours through the peak periods of sowing and harvest to get the job done in a timely manner.

We’d found it very difficult to do this with mainly employed labour. Under the merged structure we’ll have six family members contributing to the planning and operations of the business, supported by a further six employees.

Of course, a critical factor is we know each other well. My father and uncle worked together before splitting the farm when the eldest sons came home. There was no animosity between them, they just did what was typical for that generation.

But does that make sense? Build scale only to halve it every 20 to 30 years?

We’re not naive to the potential pitfalls in what we’re doing. But it seems to me the business advantages are clear. Failure of family partnerships is usually caused by personality issues. So if we create a structure that separates personal life from the business – as much as is practicable in a farm business – and put some clear rules around roles and responsibilities, we can remove the most frequent tension points.

From left field with David Matthews

Succession is a challenging issue for many farming families. How do you balance the expectation of family members who don’t have active involvement in the farm, with the need to build scale?

Should you provide equal value to all siblings?

Everyone has a calculator and with the book value of a typical family farm now very high, there’s intense interest from all family members keen to get a piece of the action.

But does the book value truly reflect the productive capacity of the farm – the ability to make a living?

There’s no one answer how best to manage generational change or transition to retirement.

But if you actually like farming and want to continue to be involved, without necessarily crawling around under the air-seeder at 3am on a cold night, there are options.

It could be co-operation with members of your extended family, as in our case. It could be forming a partnership with an aspiring farmer who doesn’t have the capital to enter farming or to expand from a modest base.

Whatever the approach, it has to start with open and honest discussion between the key stakeholders. And the best time to start that discussion is now.

Port regulations ‘insufficient’ A Wimmera farmer is calling for urgent government action to strengthen port regulations and Australia’s port efficiency.

Victorian Farmers Federations infrastructure and transport chair Ryan Milgate said the significant pressures facing the agriculture supply chain were being compounded by high port and stevedore costs, insufficient regulation and low productivity.

“We need both the Victorian and Federal governments to work together to stop Australia becoming a destination of last resort,” he said.

“Even before the pandemic Australia had some of the least efficient ports in the world and this has only gotten worse during COVID-19.

“Not only are we facing massive delays and difficulty accessing ports, but we also continue to face escalating port and stevedore charges.”

Mr Milgate said insufficient port regulations were contributing to the high costs with agWednesday, February 23, 2022

gregate rent-per-square metre at the Port of Melbourne more than double any other port in the country.

“As a critical monopoly infrastructure that is central to the prosperity of Australians, it is imperative that there is greater regulatory oversight of port and stevedore pricing,” he said.

“These high costs and delays across port operations risk long term damage to our vital export markets and makes Australia less attractive for international shipping lines. It makes it incredibly hard for Victorian farmers to maintain access to export markets under these conditions.”

Mr Milgate said farmers needed to take action because they faced the inevitable flow-on costs.

“We are asking the government to act to relieve pressure. The longstanding domestic port inefficiencies act as a real disincentive to visit Australian ports and add more cost to landside costs to shipping services,” he said.

The revolutionised front mounted rake won several awards at last year’s field days. At the Hamilton Sheepvention, Simon was awarded the “Farm Machinery & Technology” Award along with the “Robert F Stewart” – Best Innovation Award”, a highly sort after award.

At Dowerin in Western Australia, the new “Opener Series” Rake won the “Best New Release Machinery Attachments” Award.

Schinckel Hayrakes have had very positive enquiries from Western Australia through to Goondiwindi in Queensland.

On farm demonstrations with the new “Opener Series” Rake have won lots of support from hay growers from the Henty area in New South Wales through to Wycheproof, Jeparit areas in the Victorian Mallee region to the south of Macarthur.

After seeing the demonstrations of the “Opener Series” and the “Next F Series” Hayrakes an extremely impressed South African distributor has expressed interest in the machines for their market.

Simon has just returned from a trip to America where he attended the “World Ag Expo” at Tulare in California which is the

largest annual outside agriculture exposition in the US with 1400 exhibitors.

He also attended the “National Farm Machinery Show” in Louisville, Kentucky.

The show is under 3 stadiums covering 27 acres of roof cover, most machinery sitting on carpeted floors with all machines highly polished. Numbers in excess of 300,000 attend the 4 day show, which has approximately 2000 exhibitors from around the world. It was a real “eye opener.”

Sales of rakes this year have been very encouraging, with machines already sold to go to the Wimmera, Lucindale, Speed and Newdegate, WA Field Days.

Kealy: I’ll continue to fight M

BY NICK RIDLEY

ember for Lowan Emma Kealy is angry the State Government has rejected a request from West Wimmera Shire Council to declare recent fires at Poolaijelo and Langkoop a disaster.

The fire on New Year’s Eve killed thousands of sheep and cattle and destroyed dozens of farm outbuildings, hundreds of kilometres of fencing, plus pastures and vehicles.

Ms Kealy raised the matter in State Parliament, concerned residents impacted by the bushfires were unable to unlock State Government support through Bushfire Recovery Victoria.

Bushfire Recovery Victoria is a new arm of the State Government specifically established to streamline and provide bushfire support to affected families, businesses and councils.

Ms Kealy said Emergency Services Minister Lisa Neville’s response, saying declarations needed to have happened during an emergency and not in a recovery stage, was unacceptable.

She said the minister’s response was a complete ‘cop-out’ given the request for disaster declaration came through on the second day of the fires, and ‘the minister declined to act’.

“This is a catastrophic event for this region, with so much pasture, hundreds of kilometres of fence lines, extensive farm infrastructure and

CATASTROPHIC: Member for Lowan Emma Kealy is throwing her support behind West Wimmera Shire Council to help unlock Bushfire Recovery Victoria money for people affected by fires at Poolaijelo and Langkoop.

Picture: NICK RIDLEY thousands of head of stock destroyed by fire,” Ms Kealy said.

“The minister now says it’s too late as the communities are in the recovery stage, but her failure to respond in a timely manner over her holidays doesn’t override the fact the request was made by officials on the fireground just two days after the fire broke out.

“While everyone is doing an amazing job in providing support to the families affected by the fire, support services are extremely limited in the region, with many already overwhelmed with increasing numbers of COVID cases in the area.

“The additional State Government support that is provided through Bushfire Recovery Victoria would be

so important over the coming months for families in the Poolaijelo and Langkoop communities to help them recover and rebuild.

“The minister’s response is totally unacceptable and insulting.

“I’ll continue to pursue the bushfire support for this isolated region that they need and deserve.”

Support for new eBook A new climate eBook is designed make life easier for Mallee broadacre farmers for dryland cropping and livestock management.

The ‘Past, Present and Future Climate eBook for the Victorian Mallee’ presents historical rain and temperature data, climate trends and projections.

Agriculture Victoria climate change service development officer Heather Field said Mallee farmers should find the eBook a valuable tool.

“The Mallee is getting warmer and possibly drier and already has a variable climate. This variability will likely continue, with greater extremes,” she said.

“Providing local climate information, data, tools and resources will assist farmers in making informed decisions for their business and increase the resilience of dryland farming.

“The future climate will lead to challenges for both cropping and livestock farm businesses in the Mallee throughout the coming decades and there are many things that can be done to prepare and adapt.”

The eBook is available online at www.agriculture.vic.gov.au/malleeclimate-eBook.

Farmers critical of workforce changes

V

ictoria’s peak farming body fears reports the State Government will cut 145 jobs from its Agriculture Victoria workforce will make it harder for farmers to meet community expectations.

“It’s absolutely preposterous that the government is prepared to walk from that. This is a time when agriculture has absolutely underpinned the economic resilience of Victoria, when other industries have been shattered.

“We try to work constructively with the government of the day, but when they tear the guts of out the ag department, it is further evidence to me the Andrew’s government has no respect for the food and fibre producers of this state.”

The government’s Jobs Precincts and Regions Department responded to the farming group’s fears by stating Agriculture Victoria had a workforce of more than 1200. It added government efforts would focus on issues that mattered to farmers and communities.

It provided information that showed the department had offered some staff access to a government early retirement scheme.

It also revealed 174 people had accepted voluntary early-retirement packages, which included 100 from Agriculture Victoria.

The government offered the

Victorian Farmers Federation president Emma Germano said the decision would be a backward step for Victorian agriculture.

“The move comes at a time when agriculture and regional Victoria are facing significant challenges in the face of a changing climate, supply chain challenges and the ever-present risk of natural disasters,” she said.

Ms Germano added the move had the potential to undermine the progress made to support Victorian farmers.

“So much work has been done to build the research and development capacity of Agriculture Victoria to support the resilience of our farmers,” she said.

“Our soil scientists are world class and essential to support the future of our young farmers as they adapt to climate change.

packages across the department, ‘proportionate to the size of the workforce and the number of eligible applicants’. Departures were ‘staggered to ensure Agriculture Victoria continued to deliver highquality services across the state’.

A Victorian Government spokesperson in response to the issue said: “We are investing more money than ever before in rural and regional Victoria, almost $30billion since 2015, which is four times more than the previous Liberal-National government. As part of the Victorian Budget 2021-22, the Victorian public service was asked to implement a range of cost saving measures. All departments were asked to make changes. We will always support our farmers and communities and high-quality on-ground services will continue as the voluntary packages are rolled out, with more staff in Agriculture Victoria in 2022 than there were four years ago.”

The department statement also included confirmation that it had provided $211-million for Agriculture Victoria in the past two budgets.

SPECIAL GUEST: Warren Davies, also known as The Unbreakable Farmer, will speak about his journey at an Active Farmers night in Warracknabeal on Saturday.

The Unbreakable Farmer visit Warracknabeal Active Farmers group is encouraging all ‘blokes’ attending its social night on Saturday to register for the event.

The open invitation to attend the casual evening with guest speakers and a barbecue and drinks, is also a chance for men to share stories and discuss the challenges of mental health.

Keynote speaker Warren Davies, The Unbreakable Farmer, will share his story of resilience, persistence and determination, that he hopes will resonate with all men, whether they be ‘from the city, the country, a farmer or chief executive of a large corporation’.

Yarriambiack shire

youth impact officer Justin Knorpp said the event was about getting blokes together and sharing stories.

“Warren’s story is incredible and I would love people to hear it,” he said.

“There will be a chance for people to share their own stories if they would like, talk to other men or just get things off their chest.

“It can be hard for guys in the Wimmera, especially farmers who might feel a bit isolated at times, to get together with mates.

“The evening is a casual, social occasion for men of all types to share a meal, have a drink and have a chat.”

Mr Knorpp said Warren was planning on staying the night in his swag and he encouraged others to do the same.

“If guys want to have a couple of drinks, they are welcome to swag it or bunk at the showgrounds for the night. We will be cooking some bacon and eggs for breakfast for everyone who stays,” he said.

Mr Knorpp said people wanting to attend the 7pm event at Warracknabeal Showground could register online at eventbrite. com.au/e/active-farmers blokes-night-tickets246968368037.

“The more guys, the merrier,” he said.

New opportunity with stewardship A

“We’re making sure there are clear definitions in place on what eligible projects are, through biodiversity protocols, which will enable farmers to be rewarded for their land stewardship”

Bill to create a legal framework for a national voluntary agriculture biodiversity stewardship market has gone to Fed-

eral Parliament.

Member for Mallee Anne Webster said the Agriculture Biodiversity Stewardship Market Bill presented a new opportunity for Wimmera-Mallee farmers to use their land-management expertise to create new income streams.

“This Bill will allow farmers to use less-productive agricultural land to improve biodiversity and provides a robust national legal framework to back it up,” she said.

“We’re making sure there are clear definitions in place on what eligible projects are, through biodiversity protocols, which will enable farmers to be rewarded for their land stewardship.”

Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said the Bill would create a biodiversity certificate, which would be tradeable.

“This will mean biodiversity outcomes can be purchased, transferred, claimed, or used,” he said.

“We’ll establish a single public register for the market. This will enable tracking of certificates, provide evidence for claims made by buyers and, over time, provide information to inform the market.

“We’ll have an independent expert advisory

– Anne Webster

committee, who will be there to provide advice on biodiversity protocols.

“My Agriculture Biodiversity Stewardship Package is demonstrating that a market can deliver financial returns to farmers, by piloting projects that deliver biodiversity outcomes alongside carbon and enhance remnant vegetation.

“We are building on the success of these pilots to deliver a long-term pathway to market for farmers – a market that is world-leading and informed by science.

“Australian farmers are amongst our most important caretakers of the land. They manage 58 percent of Australia’s landscape.

“This is a chance to reward our farmers for the work they do and continue to build Australia’s reputation as a sustainable supplier of agricultural products to the world.”

Biosecurity reference group Helping to strengthen Victoria’s biosecurity system for the future will be the key focus of an inaugural Victorian Biosecurity Reference Group when it meets for the first time next month.

Eleven members with vast experience, knowledge and skills in biosecurity operations, agriculture policy, citizen expertise, community engagement, biosecurity science and managing biosecurity risks have been appointed to the new group, which has been established as part of a Victorian Government $28-million program to strengthen Victoria’s biosecurity system.

Agriculture Victoria’s Biosecurity Services executive director Katherine Clift said it was Wednesday, February 23, 2022

encouraging to see the response to the call for reference group nominees.

Dr Clift said it demonstrated how invested industry and community members were in their desire to help contribute to a stronger biosecurity system for Victoria, and to be part of the process.

“Biosecurity is key to not only protecting our agriculture sector, but also our environment, biodiversity, cultural heritage, economy and way of life,” she said.

The first meeting of the biosecurity reference group will be on March 28.

A carbon story...

W

ith most of Australia’s agricultural sectors agreeing to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, scientists are now working against the clock to work out how best to decarbonise farming.

Grain growing is a tricky one as the carbon doesn’t stay in soil like it does with permanent plantings. So, the CSIRO was commissioned by the grains industry to look at how this most difficult of sectors can be decarbonised.

Senior research scientist and project lead Dr Maartje Sevenster told Country Today the good news was the report showed Australia’s grain industry produced fewer emissions per tonne of grain than its major competitors.

“We have found a way to potentially increase grain production by up to 40 percent, while reducing the carbon footprint per tonne of grain by up to 15 percent. The key is improving our use of fertiliser,” she said.

To produce the world’s grains with as few greenhouse gas emissions as possible, all countries, including Australia, need to play their part.

The carbon footprint – greenhouse gas intensity – of Australian grain is lower than elsewhere, so on a global scale we have some room to increase production to help meet the demands of a growing population, ensuring Australian grains remain competitive in the global market.

The most emissions are from using nitrogen fertilisers. However, the answer isn’t to stop fertilising as the crops will remove what carbon there is in the soil without it. It’s fertilising more efficiently and using crop rotations of nitrogen fixing plants like legumes.

With the EU regulations toughing on carbon

emissions, we really need to sell this message that our benchmarking, not that done by someone else in another country, puts our grains ahead of the pack. Similarly, the beef industry must sell the carbon-reduction story better.

The great hope is that the seaweed feed additive will reduce methane emissions, and just to be clear, it’s the burps from ruminants, not the farts, that are the major problem.

The seaweed that weaves its magic is asparagopsis and most of it is being grown off the coast of Tasmania. It is now being grown in Port Phillip Bay and should be commercially available to beef and dairy industries within the year.

Immersion Group director Scott Elliott told Country Today, “Asparagopsis armata and its sister species taxiformis produce high doses of a compound known as bromoform. Bromoform blocks an enzyme that produces gut methane in livestock, particularly cattle and sheep.”

A recent US study found livestock that consumes asparagopsis supplement excrete up to 80 percent less methane.

Mr Elliott is hopeful the feed additive will also reduce methane emissions from sheep.

We just must get the message out that Australia is coming up with real solutions that will drastically reduce our agricultural emissions.

THANK YOU: Willaura Health Care Auxiliary president Heather Fleming and East Grampians Health Service chief executive Nick Bush with Mount William Charolais principal Rob Abbott who donated proceeds from the sale of a heifer.

Heifer sale benefits Willaura centre Willaura Health Care Auxiliary has benefited from a cattle sale through the donation of proceeds from the sale of a heifer.

Mount William Charolais principal Rob Abbott and his family donated $3750.

The auxiliary regularly provides catering services for the annual sale on their property.

Auxiliary president Heather Fleming thanked Mr Abbott and his family for their support.

“The auxiliary is delighted with the generosity displayed

by the Abbott family,” she said.

“We value the opportunity to cater at the sale every year, and to receive the proceeds of the heifer is a tremendous bonus.”

The auxiliary raises money for Willaura Health Care, a campus of East Grampians Health Service.

Health group chief executive Nick Bush thanked auxiliary members for their many years of ‘tireless’ work.

“The auxiliary is a wonderful supporter of Willaura

Health Care,” he said. “I also thank the Abbott family for their generous donation to the auxiliary and Willaura Health Care, with the donation going towards improving the lives of residents.”

Mrs Fleming said the auxiliary was still receiving money through a grain drive and reminded farmers they could still donate to the cause.

The next auxiliary event is the Willaura Outdoor Market on Sunday, March 6.

Breaking tracing records

H

amilton Regional Livestock Exchange created an Australian record when it scanned 59,487 electronic National Livestock Identification System tags on sheep sold at a sale late last year.

Agriculture Victoria has used the figure, as well as the fact that one-million sheep-tag details entered an NLIS database in December, to demonstrate widespread success of the system.

Agriculture Victoria’s livestock traceability manager Ben Fahy said electronic identification tagging and movement recording allowed accurate ‘whole of life’ tracking of sheep and goats for food-safety, disease-control and market-access purposes.

“Electronic tagging is an important tool in ensuring that Victorian sheep and goats can be quickly tracked in the event of a disease outbreak or food safety issue,” he said.

“Victorian saleyards have become world leaders in this area. They have demonstrated repeatedly, and over a long time now, the ability to efficiently scan thousands of sheep on a daily basis.”

Electronic tagging, EID, has been required in the United Kingdom for several years because of the role sheep can play in the spread of

SYSTEM SUCCESS: More than one-million sheep-tag details were entered in a National Livestock Identification System database in December.

infectious diseases such as foot-andmouth.

But unlike the situation in Victoria, saleyards in the UK typically only sell and scan fewer than 10,000 head at a sale.

Mr Fahy said the excellent traceability of Victoria’s system was demonstrated by the SAFEMEAT sheep traceability evaluation, which showed Victorian-EID tagged sheep were 99 percent traceable, compared with 70 percent traceability for interstate sheep that did not require electronic tags.

“The automatic verification of the

presence of a sheep or goat at a saleyard following the scanning of its tag enables reliable traceback and facilitates prompt contact tracing in a disease emergency,” he said.

“Contact tracing where saleyards are involved in the recent movement history of sheep can only be done successfully with electronic tagging.

“The entire livestock supply chain should be congratulated for their efforts during Victoria’s implementation of an electronic NLIS sheep and goats system.”

Since 2017, producers have bought more than 51-million electronic

NLIS sheep tags, and almost 35-million sheep and goat movements have entered the NLIS database.

From January 1, 2022, all sheep and non-exempt goats need to be identified with an electronic NLIS sheep tag before leaving a Victorian farm.

Victorian sheep and goat producers can access electronic tags from 77 cents per tag.

More information is available on an Agriculture Victoria website or by calling an NLIS Helpline on 1800 678779 during business hours.

Prospering from change Australian grain growers are producing low-emissions intensity, high-quality cereals, pulses and oilseeds.

A new report released by the Grains Research and Development Corporation, Australian Grains Baseline and Mitigation Assessment, found the Australian grains industry exhibited low greenhouse gas emissions for each tonne of grain produced compared with other grain producing regions and countries, including the EU, USA, Canada, Russia and Ukraine.

Grains Research and Development Corporation chair John Woods said Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, was commissioned to prepare the report, to establish a detailed and robust greenhouse gas emissions baseline for the Australian grains sector and explore mitigation opportunities that maintained or increased profitability.

“The risks of climate change and climate variability including low rainfall and increased temperatures to the Australian grains sector are significant,” he said.

“Yet climate challenge creates new opportunities for innovation and growth for the agricultural sector, and with the right approach, Australia’s grain sector can prosper in a changing environment.

“Grain growers manage about four percent of the Australian continent with 22,300 grain farms covering an estimated 31 million hectares, so they play an important part in delivering economic and environmental outcomes on behalf of the broader community.”

Exotic pests warning after wet year

F

“Thankfully, very few cane toads make it into Victoria – less than 10 a year on average – and community reporting has played a big role in protecting our state”

oxes, rabbits, weeds! But cane toads?

For Wimmera land managers, cane toads are probably the last introduced pest to immediately come to mind – especially considering the region’s dry, temperate climate.

But heavy rain across parts of Victoria and subsequent frog activity has prompted Agriculture Victoria to warn of the dangers of the destructive South American native, which has wrought havoc in northern parts of the country.

The agency is also using circumstances to reaffirm a need for the community to report potential risks as part of efforts to protect the state.

Leading biosecurity officer Emily Hill said the community had reported potential cane-toad sightings in Victoria after latest rain, adding that this community response was critical.

“So far all of the reports we’ve received have been native frogs and not cane toads,” she said.

“Exotic toads such as cane toads pose an extreme threat to Victoria’s native species because they compete for food, can carry disease and pathogens, poison with their toxic glands and can rapidly expand and colonise new areas,” she said.

“Thankfully, very few cane toads make it into Victoria – less than 10 a year on average – and community

reporting has played a big role in protecting our state.

“These are usually entering the state as sneaky stowaways, accidentally transported on vehicles, camping gear, caravans and in the luggage of returning travellers from northern Australia or via commercial goods such as potted plants imported for the plant nursery trade.”

Ms Hill said people could easily confuse exotic toads with native frog species – such as the eastern banjo frog or pobblebonk.

“Therefore, Agriculture Victoria has developed several quick reference guides to help people identify what is a native frog and what is a cane toad,” she said.

“We encourage people to use these

guides and of course if they believe they have found a cane road report it to us immediately.”

Ms Hill said prominent identification characteristics that set natives apart from exotic species could be indentified by using online guide agriculture. vic.gov.au/biosecurity/pest-animals/ priority-pest-animals/cane-toad/ native-frog-or-exotic-toad.

– Emily Hill

“If people are still unsure about the animal’s identity, people can email photographs to highrisk.invasive animals@agriculture.vic.gov.au or call a customer service centre on 136 186, with details,” she said.

Ecologists often consider native frogs, because they are so susceptible to environment change and contamination, reliable bio-indicators.

The Wimmera is home to variety of native frogs, some of them endangered and some that resemble juvenile cane toads.

The south American cane toad, Rinella marina, came to Queensland from Hawaii in 1935 in what proved an ineffective effort to control the cane beetle in sugar-cane fields.

The toxic toads have established themselves across northern Australia where they have devastated eco-systems.

Populations of this enemy amphibian have been creeping south.

Fond memories of early ag shows The Weekly Advertiser, in partnership with Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society, is presenting a series of stories that explore some of the history of Natimuk Show and its volunteers. The 130th Natimuk Show will be part of combined 150th Back to Natimuk celebrations on March 26.

This week Natimuk Show secretary Judith Bysouth reflects on her lifetime involvement with agricultural shows.

M

y grandfather would always turn up at show time with a suitcase full of goodies for his grandchildren.

It was like Christmas at show time with boxes of White Knight and Redskin lollies. I remember getting a beautiful porcelain doll one year.

On reflection his visit was possibly his annual holidays from working in the Port Kembla steel works were he worked when returning from the Second World War. This was where his family had settled while he was away at war and I understood his ancestors arrived in Australia via New Zealand by a boat that transported circus people.

So, there was a strong connection with circus showmen.

We always got new clothes for show day. This was special because mum made most of our clothes.

There was one particular dress I just

loved. It was a pale blue with lace top with a sunray pleated hipster skirt.

I remember my mum giving it away when I had outgrown it, something I was not happy about.

Show day was always special as it often fell on mum’s birthday.

Dad was born in Hay and returned to work on a sheep station.

He was a renown horseman and always assisted in the arena on show day at Hay. He was awarded a life-membership for his contribution.

Mum taught us all to cook and sew and of course we had pet dogs to show off.

I won a scone-baking competition in an electric oven at the show and my little brother got his photo in the local paper removing his batch from the electric display oven.

This was an achievement because we had a wood stove at home. A far cry from the microwave and induction stove I have today.

Another memory was winning first prize in the art section with my drawing of a platypus.

I was asked if I would be secretary of Natimuk Show by Keith Mackley.

Coming from a devoted show family from Hay in NSW of course I did not say no.

My father’s advice was it would take three years to fully understand all facets of showing.

FAMILY SHOW DAY: Natimuk Show secretary Judith Bysouth, centre, is pictured with fellow members of the McGrath family at Hay Show in 1962.

Twenty years on I am still learning.

The Natimuk Show office was in the Arapiles Shire Office leading up to show day and people placed their entries and paid their membership.

We would pack up the office and move to the showground the night before the show.

A khaki tent borrowed from Hor-

sham City Rowing Club was used as the office before Marlene McCredden suggested to the committee that we needed a permanent show office.

Many options were explored before settling on a two-room self-contained portable container from the then Wimmera Container Line at a cost of $45,000.

The much-needed funds were raised from selling an 18-month nude calendar depicting each section of the show from 2009-2010 The Natimuk calendar as a fund-raising project always put a smile on the face of Max Laurie’s past president of the Victorian Showman’s Guild.

He would mention it whenever we met at the annual Victorian Agricultural Show Convention.

A proud and humble moment was being awarded a Life Membership of Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society.

I encourage anyone interested in assisting with the Natimuk Show Society to do so because it is rewarding.

The Natimuk society is always looking for interested and committed helpers.

We need additional volunteers, particularly this year as there are many tasks to do. If you are available to help, call 0429 328 600.

Anyone planning to attend the 130th show and combined 150th Back to Natimuk celebrations on March 26 can contact the show office and get their gate ticket early.

There will be an early-bird ticket prize draw for people who buy a ticket before the show.

The prize is valued between $600 and $900. The Natimuk Show office will open on March 1.
