Wimmera Machinery Field Days 2015

President’s message I have great pleasure on behalf of the organising committee and staff to welcome you to the 53rd annual Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

Once again we have poured hours of passion and dedication into setting up and presenting the site for our exhibitors to showcase their latest technology and innovation from Australia and abroad together with a blend of business and lifestyle interests. Our three-day event has gained a strong reputation of providing attendees with the finest opportunity to view the best in modern broadacre agriculture while also promoting everything you need to enjoy what the Wimmera has to offer with our ‘can-do’ attitude and relaxed way of life.

While the main purpose of the Wimmera Machinery Field Days is to help farmers investigate machinery and equipment options for their businesses, it is also an informative event where growers and primary producers can participate in select agricultural forums, which will be during the event.

We are proud of our exhibitors who attend and we appreciate our sponsors’ continued support. Combined with the committee’s efforts to constantly improve the site to meet our patrons’ needs, it is great to see it all combine to contribute to a successful event.

With sincere thanks I want to recognise the wives, husbands, patrons and children of the committee, who are as tireless in their support. I would also like to acknowledge all the community organisations that help run the Wimmera Machinery Field Days, which also provide significant fundraising opportunities for their club.

Once more I welcome you all to the 2015 Wimmera Machinery Field Days, I hope your visit to our event drives profitability for your business, provides you with social connections and ideas for enjoying your lifestyle.

Field Days to showcase the latest in agriculture

B

roadacre agricultural machinery firms from across the country have led an exhibitor resurgence at this year’s 53rd Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

Field Days manager Murray Wilson said some machinery firms were either returning to the annual event after lengthy absences while others were consolidating their presence by requesting larger sites to showcase products.

He said the trend reflected confidence that national agricultural businesses had for the region’s rural productivity and long-term future.

“We have to remember that these companies have made the decisions to come here regardless of what was far from a good harvest across the region,” Mr Wilson said.

“The request for sites has remained strong and the outdoor area is full.

“It also shows the strength of the field days that these companies acknowledge the event as one of biggest for broadacre cropping and machinery in the country. It’s just fantastic.”

Mr Wilson said it was also important to note that the Wimmera farming community’s re-

sponse to the field days also underpinned the event’s success.

“The large firms recognise the willingness of our farmers to be associated with the latest technology to get the best out of farming enterprises. It’s because they are good farmers and know

how to run their businesses efficiently.”

The field days continue to evolve and Mr Wilson said the introduction of variety of information forums this year would add a new dimension to the event.

“The main idea behind it is that we always have a lot of things on but there is not always someone available to talk in depth about subjects,” he said.

“We’ve set up a pavilion to allow for this key feature of field days. There will be guests involved as speakers and presenters in forums specifically for farmers and land managers.

“Organisations are pleased they have this opportunity to get information out about everything from programs and funding opportunities to the latest technology available and basically what’s happening now and in the future.

“It will give everyone a chance to have a break, to kick back and listen to the experts. We hope to make it an annual part of the field days so it will be interesting to see how it comes together.”

This year’s field days, apart from the latest in farm machinery, will also feature an eclectic mix of vendors, exhibitions, demonstrations and guest personalities.

The Wimmera Machinery Field Days will be Wimmera Events Centre at Longerenong, north of Horsham, on March 3, 4 and 5.

Farmer forums

A

series of forums at this year’s Wimmera Machinery Field Days will educate farmers on a variety of agricultural topics.

The forums, will be at the Sponsors Pavilion, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Birchip Cropping Group chief executive Chris Souness will kick off the forums at 10am on Tuesday.

Mr Souness will speak about risk management on farms, focusing on the question: Should you try and beat the odds?

At 2pm on Tuesday, Tony Baker and Luke Austin, from Wimmera Catchment Management Authority, will speak about funding for farmers, highlighting financial opportunities and funding available to enhance and protect natural landscapes, native vegetation and on-farm waterways.

Glenn Fitzgerald, from the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources, Horsham, will discuss the AGFACE Project.

Mr Fitzgerald will address ‘future food for thought’ and how Victorian scientists are working to identify and rectify the challenges of growing food crops under higher carbon dioxide levels tipped for 2050.

On Thursday, at 10am, Robert Suter, also from the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources, Horsham, will discuss livestock ‘alive’.

COOKING DEMONSTRATION: 2014 My Kitchen Rules winner Bree May will show off her culinary skills during cooking shows at this year’s Wimmera Machinery Field Days.

Field day food and fashion LIVE FROM THE FIELD DAYS: WIN News weather presenter Britt Ditterich will host the weather from the field days on Tuesday. Britt’s weather report will be broadcast across the WIN television network.

Mr Suter will discuss five years of data on crucial factors for a healthy Victorian sheep flock and what can be applied at the farm level to achieve a more productive and healthy flock.

Andrew Newell, of Newag Consulting, and Darren Jones, of Agritech Rural, will present

the final forum at the field days with a 2pm discussion on new generation of super weeds.

The pair will investigate the types of hard-to-kill weeds that are appearing in broadacre farming, why they are occurring and management options to control the weeds before they control farmers.

Imagine impressing your guests with buttermilk pana cotta and spice pairs or Indonesian satay lamb shoulder with wombok noodle.

People can learn all this and more from 2014 My Kitchen Rules winner Bree May, who will exhibit her cooking expertise at this year’s field days auditorium.

Bree will show the most amateur cooks how to impress with their meals, with shows at 10am, noon and 3pm on Tuesday and Wednesday, and 10am and noon on Thursday.

She will excite the senses with daily demonstrations of easy-to-make gourmet food, ranging from entrées to deserts and side dishes.

Demonstrations include meals like rabbit pumpkin and pea risotto, Thai red duck curry, fish tacos with corm and tomato salsa and much more.

College runway Forget about Melbourne Fashion Week, the talented year 9, 11 and 12 students from Horsham College are sure to give Yves Saint Lauren a run for his money.

Students from the college

will hit the runway each day at 2pm to showcase their talents in design and textiles as part of the anticipated fashion show Time to Shine.

During the runway spectacular, students from Horsham College production ‘Alice in Wonderland’ will perform, showcasing a wide range of vocal talents.

‘Time to Shine’ will also feature a special display of dresses from the 2014 Horsham College Debutant Ball.

Be sure to drop by the auditorium each day at 2pm to watch students strut their stuff.

300 trillion reasons to visit science site

V

isitors have literally trillions of reasons to visit the Department of Economic Development Jobs Transport and Resources Wimmera Machinery Field Days site.

With 2015 the International Year of Soil, there will be plenty of opportunities to get the dirt on soils in the marquee at sites D1-4.

Just one teaspoon of soil can host about one billion living microbes, which means the 10m by 15m DEDJTR site will be home to roughly 300 trillion microbes in the top 10cm of soil.

That is a lot of little bugs and microbes in one spot.

Visitors won’t be asked to count them, but they can see and learn about different types of soil microbes, and what role they play in helping grow crops to feed the world.

People will also be able to get a worm’s eye view of the soil that grows our crops in the form of large intact soil cores taken from the Western District, Wimmera and Mallee regions.

These 120-150kg cores, which were used in trials investigating the impacts of higher carbon dioxide levels on crops, will be featured in the tent, pro-

viding a fascinating comparison from different soils and a history lesson on how different soils form.

While volcanic activity and

higher rain has influenced the more acid soils in southern Victoria, an inland sea bed and wind erosion helped create the Wimmera’s grey cracking clays

and dunes from this sea are the basis of the Mallee’s sandy soil.

Scientist believe careful management of soils, backed up by research and development, is the bedrock of our agricultural production, profitability and exports.

The department’s soil science research expertise extends across chemistry, physics and biology and skilled extension staff help translate science into practical on-farm management recommendations.

Staff are also involved in improving knowledge and mapping of soil types and associated soil properties relevant to

agricultural production.

Visitors to the site will see how the department remains at the forefront of soil science and is engaged in a range of cutting-edge activities, including remote sensing and digital soil mapping, improving nutrient management and fertiliser efficiencies, maximising soil water availability, understanding soil biological functions, and overcoming physical and chemical constraints to plant growth.

Science is also on the agenda at the site, with information about the Australian Grains Genebank, which houses 150 million seeds at Horsham.

Sky high imagery

immera business Emmetts has joined forces with US company Agribotix to provide dronebased aerial crop-imagery ser-

vices to farmers throughout the Wimmera-Mallee.

Emmetts Agribotix Hornets will collect true colour, RGB, and near infrared, NIR, imagery at three-centimetre ground resolution, providing a detailed view of the field from above.

Used to measure relative vegetation health within-field and in combination with historical field data, imagery captured from the drones provides information which can be used in generating prescription maps and management zones.

Other applications include whole-field crop inspections, weed identification, and yield estimations.

Additionally, Emmetts can now complete advanced analytics on historical yield data collected in previous seasons, to provide Spatial Yield Trends and Yield Stability Maps, which highlight areas within paddocks that require different management strategies.

The data, in addition to realtime information captured from the drone, gives the grower and their advisor an important insight into their crops health and paddock performance, over multiple seasons.

This allows more accurate and insightful agronomic decisions during the growing sea-

SMOOTH: Wimmera Uniting Care staff Melissa Maybery, Jenni Miller, Adele Rohde, RARE worker Mal Coutts, Claire Hewson, Michelle Freeman, Phoebe Weier at the field days last year.

Below, Mal Coutts and Claire Hewson are pictured making a smoothie by cycling to power a blender.

O’Connors has opened western Victoria’s newest truck parts and service outlet.

Backed by Iveco and servicing brands like Mack, Kenworth and International, the new venture will operate out of O’Connors’ Horsham and Birchip dealerships.

O’Connors group after sales manager Gareth Webb said many of the firm’s existing clients had trucks as part of their machinery fleet.

“The Horsham and Birchip dealerships have a strong legacy of providing outstanding service and technical support over many years,” he said.

“They play an integral role in assisting our customers to achieve maximum yields and efficiencies.

“This new venture will only improve these efficiencies while expanding our ability to support them.”

Though backed by Iveco, O’Connors will source and stock parts for majority of major truck brands.

“Regardless of the make and model, your truck is in good hands with our team of service technicians and parts staff,” Mr Webb said.

Organiser Adele Rohde said for $5, field days patrons were invited to pick a smoothie flavour and then hop on the bike to mix it up by pedalling for about 30 seconds.

“We’ll also have our RARE worker and a number of other staff on hand to blend it for you for a gold coin donation,” she said.

and at least seven yummy flavours to choose from, the event shouldn’t be missed.

The community service organisation has also added iced coffee to its menu for the first time.

Coles Horsham, the event’s major sponsor, will provide all the ingredients, and the Wimmera Machinery Field Days committee has donated the hire of the Bike ‘N Blend bikes.

“Not only is that a fantastic fundraiser for RARE but it’s a great way to engage with the community,” Ms Rohde said.

“We had so much fun last year and we’re hoping to make it even bigger and better in 2015.”

Herbicide resistant

L

ake Bolac farmer Neil Vallance is tackling the growing herbicide-resistance problem by implementing new Integrated Weed

Management technology onto his 3900 hectare mixed farming enterprise.

Mr Vallance said high levels of herbicideresistant weeds in Victoria’s western districts, brought on by an over reliance on Group A chemicals, meant landholders had to find innovative ways to combat weeds.

“We’ve seen increasing resistance to Select through seed testing, with levels up to 30 percent,” he said.

“It’s not about relying on one herbicide; it’s about using a range of everything.”

Vallance said that Roundup-Triazine, RT, hybrid canola, provided a tool for control on a wide range of weeds including ryegrass and wild radish.

According to developers Pacific Seeds and Monsanto, it combines the broad spectrum knockdown control of Roundup Ready with the residual activity of triazine herbicides.

“RT provides the option of TT and Roundup Ready if you need it, so that’s where its strength lies. It’s going to find a place in the herbicide resistance model,” Mr Vallance said.

Vallance runs 3900-hectare mixed-farming enterprise ‘Braebrook’ with his wife Helen, brothers Max and Graeme, and their wives Jane and Rachel.

Their operation consists of 2500 hectares of cropping – mainly canola, wheat, barley and oats – 3000 sheep consisting of Merino and Coopworth ewes, and a piggery of 450 Landrace-cross sows.

Last year they grew open pollinated triazine tolerant varieties, Thumper TT and Wahoo ATR, Roundup Ready, Cargill Victory and Hyola 525RT. They began sowing canola late April at a rate of 3kg/ha to provide some defence against slugs.

“In general, GM hybrid canola shows improved early vigour and higher yields here compared to conventional varieties, and it gets cold

Neil Vallance quickly in this area which brings out the slugs, so we need as much ground cover as quickly as we can,” he said.

Zinc MAP sulphur was applied at 90kg/ha plus 200kg urea, with 80kg at sowing and the balance top dressed in July.

All the canola received 3L/ha of trifluralin preemergent, with Roundup Ready herbicide and Atrazine applied onto the RT technology.

All RT was direct headed around December 18.

Mr Vallance said the family’s 2014 winter crop season was the driest in almost a decade, with rainfall reaching 373mm; well short of their annual 525mm average.

“Rain was down last season by about 150mm and we haven’t had a season that bad since 2006.”

Despite this, their newest addition of IWM technology yielded 1.8t/ha.

“It was still a top result given the poor season,” Mr Vallance said.
