Welcome to the 2013 YP Field Days Paul BROWNING PRESIDENT WELCOME to Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest agricultural field days. With the prospect of a bountiful spring, Paskeville is set to shine in 2013. September will see the agriculturally-rich land of Yorke Peninsula at its best. On behalf of the Yorke Peninsula Field Days committee, I invite you to attend our award-winning event which is in its 119th year and continues to provide the community and state the opportunity to excel. The YP Fields Days is an event supported by and supporting the entire community. Without the dedication of the member bureaus and all the volunteers representing preschools, schools, sporting groups and various organisations from within our community, the event would not be such a success. The YP Field Days committee is

proud to be able to work together to achieve this. Our previous event has been honoured by Advantage SA at the 2012 Regional Awards being presented as the state overall winner of the Community Group Award. This is a fantastic achievement of which the whole community can be very proud. We endeavour to provide opportunities for new technology to be presented, new machinery, farming techniques and information. Rural and regional South Australia is highlighted and all businesses are encouraged to participate and grow with the experience of attending and sharing their expertise and products. We encourage the sharing of knowledge that has brought us to where we are today and actively promote the future of this agriculturally-rich area with wonderful displays of technology

for all to view and provided for primary producers to advance their knowledge and skills. All visitors will be delighted with the variety of exhibitors in the general interest pavilions to entice, assist and educate you. Come along and view the amazing fashion parades, be mesmerised by the sheepdog trials, watch Australian blade shearing champion John Dalla demonstrate his skills along with a fantastic program in the Guest Speaker Pavilion covering gardening, cooking and even more fashion parades. We invite you to attend this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yorke Peninsula Field Days, with a bigger variety of food outlets, improved undercover dining areas and more outdoor seating. I know you will enjoy your visit. Gates are open 9am-5pm, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 24, 25 and 26, so come along and be a part of this exciting and prestigious event.

Cooking and THERE will be something for the food lovers as well as the green thumbs in the Guest Speakers Pavilion at this year’s field days with three interesting presenters on the program. Janelle Bloom, an original chef on television show Ready Steady Cook and author of four cookbooks, will share her passion for recipes which not only taste good but are easy to follow and use readily-available ingredients. “Ready Steady Cook is challenging and chaotic, but the most fun I’ve had in a kitchen and the best job I have ever had,” she said. Janelle was also part of the audition team on Masterchef in 2011 and 2012 and Junior Masterchef in 2011. Janelle believes in the importance of serving good, wholesome, delicious food every day to the family. “Forget fad diets, just eat to live and live to eat,” she said. Another special guest to tempt your tastebuds will be Simon Bryant. Simon is a chef and television presenter, beamed into thousands of lounge rooms and kitchens via the ABC program The Cook and the Chef with

gardening to feature in Guest Speaker Pavilion South Australian food icon Maggie Beer. The show aired more than 150 episodes over four years, attracting 600,000-plus viewers nationally each week.

chef’s hat than a business suit. He began his career in several Thai and Indian restaurants in Melbourne, before moving to Adelaide in 1995. Simon was with Hilton Adelaide for more than 10 years, then 18 months as a chef de partie in The Grange with Cheong Liew and rapidly worked his way up to senior sous chef of The Brasserie and later executive chef. He is a champion of using South Australian produce. “One of the greatest things you can do is share this food and respect how and where it came from by making informed, responsible choices,” he said. “More importantly, food should be as natural as when it came from the dirt, with as little harm and interference in its growing and preparation as possible but with a maximum of care.” If you prefer to head outside to the garden rather than be in the kitchen, then don’t miss one of the presentations by horticulturalist Graham Ross. Graham has educated, entertained

and inspired Australia’s gardening community and aspiring green thumbs during a career which has spanned more than 50 years. He has appeared on Channel 7’s Better Homes and Gardens since 1995 and is one of the few personalities who has featured on television every week since 1978. Broadcasting commitments aside, Graham and his wife Sandra share an exhaustive schedule which incorporates 25 garden tours a year in Australia and overseas through their Ross Garden Tours company. Their Garden Clinic Club, launched in 1982, is Australia’s largest garden club and they publish a quarterly, full colour magazine for members. “When I’m at home, there’s nothing more relaxing than pottering around in our garden,” Graham said. “On the weekends we’re often out working in the garden until dark. “Gardening is such a passion for me and I’m very lucky to be able to share it with my family and, at work, with fellow Australians and friends around the world.”

EXPERT... Graham Ross, of Better Homes and Gardens fame, will share spring gardening tips at the YP Field Days.

CELEBRITY CHEF... Janelle Bloom was one of the original chefs on Ready Steady Cook and will be a guest speaker at this year’s field days.

RDAYP this year’s official charity MEMBERS of the Yorke Peninsula branch of Riding for the Disabled are proud and delighted RDA has been chosen as the official charity of the 2013 YP Field Days. RDAYP secretary Lib Bartholomeusz said the centre is in the process of several expensive projects, including building clubrooms. “This is a huge project and, recently, RDAYP heard it will receive a grant from Office of Recreation and Sport towards the development,” she said. “It is hoped the funds raised at the field days will provide the extra capital needed to set up functional clubrooms.” Mrs Bartholomeusz said the clubrooms will be used to display rider photos and awards, store teaching resources and progress records, and hold planning and committee meetings. “The main benefit of having clubrooms is it will allow RDAYP to run unmounted rallies in inclement weather,” she said. “Riders will still be able to attend their weekly session when it is cold and

raining and have indoor games and activities related to horse riding, as well as work through competition routines and maintain riding tack.” Mrs Bartholomeusz said RDAYP is also constructing three more paddocks to enable more horses to join the program and more riders to be matched with suitable horses. “The group needs to purchase materials for horse shelters and water troughs, both costly items, then construct the shelters and connect the water,” she said. Mrs Bartholomeusz said some of the funds raised at the field days will also be distributed amongst the 11 country RDA centres and two metropolitan centres in South Australia. “At the field days, RDAYP will set up in the Cyclone Pavilion with information about RDA, digital displays, and fundraising activities such as selling raffle tickets and RDA merchandise and donation tins,” Mrs Bartholomeusz said. “The RDAYP volunteers are looking forward to providing a bit of fun for all who enter our site at the field days.”

Case IH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; new models and old favourites

POPULAR... The Case IH Magnum tractor has long been a customer favourite.

MACHINERY fans who visit the Case IH stand at the Yorke Peninsula Field Days will not be disappointed because, as always, there will be plenty of red equipment on display. One of the highlights will be the Case IH Magnum tractor, a series which has delivered producer-driven, proven technology to Australian farmers since 1988. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Magnum series has been built with customer feedback front of mind, offering more power to handle the most demanding tasks at higher speeds, better fuel efficiency and with the best cab in its class,â&#x20AC;? Case IH product manager â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tractors, John Dreves said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Automatic Productivity Management (APM) you can achieve up to an additional 24 per cent in fuel savings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;APM also makes the Magnum easy to drive, even for the least experienced operators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current model Magnum has the tightest turning radius in its class and delivers more power to the ground with minimal ballast due to its

sculptured surround frame.â&#x20AC;? As well as the Magnum, the 2013 model Axial-Flow combine harvester will be on display. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that during harvest, your combine is your office in the field and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve designed the 2013 model Axial-Flow combine with this front of mind,â&#x20AC;? Case IH product manager _ hay and harvest, Geoff Rendell, said. Features of the new cab include a slim multifunction propulsion handle, redesigned with controls within fingersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reach. The right-hand console in the new cab has been upgraded with simple ergonomic controls and a slide rail that allows for adjustment of the display, placement of a cup holder and office tools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new model also features iPod connectivity and the training seat opens to a portable electric refrigerator to keep food and drinks cool on those hot summer days,â&#x20AC;? Geoff said. Farmers with smaller properties wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss out with models from Case IHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Farmall JX and Farmall B tractor ranges on display as well.

JBG Architects contributing to regional landscapes YORKE Peninsula clients are among more than 500 who have enjoyed the exceptional designs and service of JBG Architects during the past 15 years. When company director Jamie Gladigau launched the business in 1998, he recognised regional clients deserve to celebrate their lifestyle and environment through design as equally as those living in cities and metropolitan areas. This philosophy has stood true, with JBG Architects celebrating more than 500 projects throughout the Yorke Peninsula, Barossa, Riverland, South East, Adelaide Hills and interstate. Working with his wife and business administrator Shannon Turner, Jamie and the JBG Architects team of skilled professionals has grown to offer clients a complete one-stop

architectural service. From family homes and commercial buildings to some of Australia’s most exciting wineries and award-winning cellar doors including Hentley Farm, Murray Street Vineyards, Angove McLaren Vale, Shaw and Smith, Orlando Wines and Yalumba Wines, Jamie has worked with a diverse scope of clients. “I have been privileged to work with Australian winemakers the likes of Robert O’Callaghan, Grant Burge, Brian McGuigan, Martin Shaw, the Angove, Lehmann and Casella families, as well as French winemaker Jacques Lurton,” Jamie said. “Equally as rewarding has been working with families who have made an investment in good home design.” The JBG team has observed changes in the

way people live and work during their 15 years in the industry. “We are experiencing a shift towards environmental principles and life-cycle design,” he said. “Clients today expect sustainable design to be integrated into their project.” Coinciding with the company’s 15th year, JBG Architects has settled into a spacious workplace at 38 Murray Street, Tanunda. “This has allowed for a streamlined approach to architectural services, simplifying the sometimes complicated process of realising a dream build,” Jamie said. “JBG Architects will also travel direct to clients in regional South Australia providing an accessible UNIQUE... JBG Architects, based at Tanunda in the Barossa Valley, approach to regional has been offering unique architectural designs and service for the architecture, regardless of past 15 years. size or budget.”

Farmers seeking solar solutions HOMEOWNERS are not the only ones harnessing the sun’s energy, with more farming properties making the switch to solar power. Gavin Appleton, from AH Electrical, Moonta, said the number of solar installations on farms has been relatively consistent. “Initially, they were all looking at doing it because you could get better feedback and the feed-in tariff was 44c/kWh but now it’s 16 cents until the end of September,” he said. “Despite the reduction, there are still people signing up. “The size of the systems varies depending on the type of power on the farm. “Most farms only have single phase so they can only have a 5kW system but others are lucky enough to have three-phase power which means they can get

up to 30kW.” Mark Schilling recently had a large system installed on his property, Copper Gone Farm, outside Kadina. “We had our system installed in May and one of the reasons we did it was to negate our bill,” Mark said. “Annually, we pay around $1200, so we matched the system to meet our bill. “Because we have threephase power, we can have a larger system than those on single phase. “We’ve split our system into two, so there is a 10kW system on the house and a 30kW system on the shed to cover the farm. “Therefore we also have two meters, one on the house and one for the farm which makes it simpler for claiming things like tax deductions, also the capital costs are lower.”

Mark said they had been considering installing a system for a while and, with the price of systems decreasing, decided the time was right. “Power is not going to get any cheaper and we thought solar was much more efficient,” he said. According to Mark, it wouldn’t be surprising to see more farmers sign up to solar power as power prices increase. “It’s no different to water, you try and catch as much of it as you can so you don’t have to use the mains,” he said. “Obviously, for some people though they are not going to be able to get the larger system because they are not on threephase, but if they talk to their electricians and SA Power Networks they should be able to find out what sort of system would be right for them.”

SOLAR POWER... Mark Schilling, from Copper Gone Farm, in front of a solar system installed on the shed. Mark said the opportunity to negate the farm’s power bill was a major reason for installing solar.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road IF you are looking for a different way to view the Yorke Peninsula Field Days, the Yellow Brick Road could be for you. “There are quite a few different places to see this year, that’s part of the fun of it, you get to look at stands you would not normally go to,” organiser Vikki Glasson said. The event will be run by the Kadina Memorial School Parent Club and is its second and final time planning the activity. “Last time, we ran it as the Kadina Primary School Parent Club but this will be the first time we do it as an amalgamated school,” Vikki said. “This year, stops include OPAL, PIRSA, Hood Sweeney, Country

North SA Medicare Local, State Emergency Service and Retravision to name a few.” All the money the parent club makes from the Yellow Brick Road goes back to the school to be used for future projects. “There are a couple of projects we are looking at supporting,” Vikki said. “The Yellow Brick Road is a great activity because it helps the parent club to provide things for the school, it promotes healthy eating as you collect 14 healthy food items and you learn more about the businesses in your area.” Bags are available from the stall on Office Road next to the Hoecker 1 Pavillion for $8 ($10 for a

calico bag); included in that price is the bag, map and 14 healthy food items. “If you bring the finished map to us after you have completed it, you go into the draw to win a prize — last field days it was a digital camera,” Vikki said.

FOLLOW THE ROAD... Kadina Memorial School students Brooklyn March and Ella Bond decorate their own yellow brick road in preparation for the field days. Money raised from the Yellow Brick Road will benefit students.

VF Commodore superior in technology, value JAMES and Melissa Bagshaw, of Weetulta, said they recently purchased a new Holden VF Commodore from Rosewarne’s Kadina for its looks, technology and value for money. Both said it has exceeded expectations so much they now believe it to be Australia’s best ever car. “It’s by far the best car I have driven and owned — it has so much room front and back and has a huge boot space which is always good for women,” Melissa said. “I love the feel of it on the road, the power is amazing and the newer style is sleek.” Melissa scored the car 10 out of 10 for value for money.

“There’s power when you need it, but it is also economical, dropping to four cylinders on long trips,” she said. Melissa said its best features are the Mylink system, particularly Pandora Radio and Stitcher, and the colour of the car which reminds her of the Sandman and Torana days. “I can’t understand why Holden hadn’t put this colour out in earlier models, I’m so happy with our VF,” she said. Melissa said, after seeing her car, many others have been excited by it too. “I’ve had so many people come up to me asking me to have a look inside and I’m smiling like

a Cheshire cat showing them all the technology,” she said. “They walk away saying they want one. “If friends and family wanted a car with everything that was value for money then the VF is one choice I would recommend.” Melissa rated the customer service from Rosewarne’s staff David O’Leary and Tom Rosewarne highly, describing it as “fantastic and friendly”. “David and Tom are great to deal with, if we had any concerns they were only happy to help,” Melissa said. “They certainly go that extra mile to satisfy their customers.”

SOUTH Australia lost an agriculture legend with the passing of Allen William Vater on August 3, 2013, aged 85. The widely-respected businessman turned a single truck into the diverse company AW Vater and Co is today. Outside of work, he was an adored, loyal family man and a generous provider to wife Doris and children Roger, Jill, Kim, Rick and Tania as well as his 14 grandchildren. A. W. grew up on a share farm, Greenhills, and left school at 14 to work as a farmhand and indulge in numerous interests including footy and bull riding. He purchased a secondhand 1937 Oldsmobile truck, and then a Fargo semi which he owned on share, and started a carting business in the late 1940s. In 1952, he purchased a new truck which his father Bill warned would send him broke â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it almost did.

SA loses a farming legend FAMILY BUSINESS... The late Allen A. W. Vater (seated) with his family Jill Oehme, Roger Vater, Doris Vater, Rick Vater, Kim Vater and Tania Nicholls. Bill lent A. W. all the money he had, 300 pounds, for 12 months to help him with the business. Nevertheless, A. W.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank manager caught up with him in Manoora one day to inform him he was overdrawn by one shilling and nine pence. A. W. could only offer him

two bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of duty stamps, which he accepted. More than 60 years later, his name adorns sites at Saddleworth and Kadina which serve customers throughout South Australia and interstate. It started with plenty of hard work.

The railways had a strike in 1952, creating seven weeks straight of 20 hour days for A. W., and allowing him to clear his debt. From there he purchased an International AR180 which he drove for more than a million miles, including for Sydney and

Melbourne stock runs. He met Doris (nee Rowan) at a dance and they married in 1956; it soon also became a business partnership under the name AW Vater and Co. He started trading in grain and then began selling J. I. Case, John Shearer, David Shearer and New Holland farm machinery in 1957. In â&#x20AC;&#x2122;69, he purchased cropping land at Manoora and then in 1972 achieved a dream, buying the Greenhills property he grew up on. All five Vater children joined the business and A. W. continued to work for the rest of his life despite losing much of his sight and experiencing declining health in recent years. He retained his sharp mind, determined personality and cheeky nature to the end, leaving all who knew him with countless memories which, like his business, promise to carry on long into the future.

AW Vater and Co focusing on customers AW Vater and Co has introduced changes at its recently-acquired Kadina dealership, formerly Agserv, with a focus on looking after customers. Dealer principal Roger Vater said, since taking over the business in late June, many changes have been made including the introduction of branch manager Nigel Phillips and service manager Cory Horsell. “We took over towards the end of June and the first part of the process was assessing the business,” Mr Vater said. “We talked to a lot of customers and have introduced a program to change the operations of the business and our focus at the moment is on customer care.” AW Vater and Co has

also refocused the dealership’s attention on the products it offers, with an added focus on its two major brands, New Holland and Flexi-Coil. The business has introduced the JCB range of products, Croplands RoGator selfpropelled sprayers and retained the popular Stihl brand. “In months to come, we will be rebranding the building and our showroom with our Stihl product,” Mr Vater said. “We are just starting to sell quite a few combines and tillage equipment, and Stihl has continued to be fantastic from day one.” The Vaters plan to bring their family culture to the business, and use their sites at Saddleworth

and Price Street, Kadina, to improve service. The Price Street store has rapidly grown from a small shed focusing on chemicals and some merchandise into a onestop shop for farmers. In the process it has developed a fantastic reputation within the farming community, its staff priding themselves on having stock on hand and at reasonable prices. It offers chemicals, fertilisers, fencing materials, rainwater tanks, animal supplies and much more, backed by an experienced team including two agronomists. “Between Kadina and Saddleworth we have a huge pool of spare parts and enormous technical ability,” Mr Vater said.

Helping farmers and miners get along THE South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy works to promote the mining industry and will have a stall at this year’s Yorke Peninsula Field Days. YP is a hive of mining activity with nine companies exploring for mineralisation, and all know the importance of good relationships with landholders. SACOME is a not-for-profit, nongovernment organisation which provides the companies information about how to best deal with landholders, amongst other things. If landholders are happy with their dealings, and with the compensation they are offered, the mineral explorers can go about their business without fuss. Acting CEO Megan Andrews

said feedback received at events such as the field days helps SACOME provide companies with landholder relations advice. “We help the community, and the economy, by helping our mining companies to get their community relations right,” Ms Andrews said. “On Yorke Peninsula our understanding is the companies and farmers are on good terms. “Rex (Minerals, developing a mine near Ardrossan) has done a lot of work with landholders and as far as we are concerned they have a good reputation, so it will be good to hear from people at the field days if that’s not the case. “Of course we are happy to hear any positive feedback as well. “By being at the field days and

hearing what people say, we can use that to shape our workshops, seminars and our general communication with our members.” Ms Andrews said it is important explorers are able to explore, even on cropping land, with as little hassle as possible. “Companies need to be able to explore, and ultimately need to be able to produce, by accessing land in a timely fashion,” she said. “Being on good terms with the community means small issues can be addressed early and often resolved before they turn big.” Although SACOME welcomes landholder feedback, general complaints should first be made to the company involved, and secondly to the state government.

YP VISIT... SACOME policy analyst Dayne Eckermann and health, safety, environment and community officer Lewis Stoll on a site visit to Hillside near Ardrossan. SACOME will visit YP again for the field days.

Online success for Port Broughton couple SINCE its creation in early 2007, farmclearingsales.com.au has had incredible success, from just listing local sales to now advertising clearing sales and classified adverts nationwide. Behind the website is Port Broughton couple Allan and Marcia Ebsary who said the secret to their success is a farming background and identifying a gap in the market. “I used to go to clearing sales because I was keen buyer of second-hand equipment for the farm and often I would go somewhere and it wouldn’t be what I imagined,” Mr Ebsary said. “People like being able to see photos because they can make a decision about whether it’s what they want or not.” They said the website gives farmers access to information and enables them to reach beyond just the local area. “Years ago we had someone advertising tractor parts and ended up selling it to a farmer

from Pennsylvania who at the time was a war correspondent in Afghanistan,” Mrs Ebsary said. “So he was looking at the website from war-torn Afghanistan on his laptop and purchased it for his farm in Pennsylvania. “There is no limit as to who is able to access the site.” The website didn’t take off immediately but after a few agents starting getting involved its popularity has increased. “I have always been a local farmer in the Wokurna/Barunga Gap area which has really helped because what I want is what other farmers also want,” Mr Ebsary said. “What we did was recognise a need, put the idea forward and ask people in the industry whether it would be accepted and useful.” About four years ago, the couple leased their farm out so they could focus solely on the website and now employ three local farmers’ wives part-time to help with administration.

ONLINE BUSINESS... Port Broughton couple Allan and Marcia Ebsary have gone from strength to strength with their clearing sales website.

Sporting groups catering for the crowds

WORKING BEE... Brad Meier, Jason Bussenschutt, David Koch and Neil Harrop build a new verandah on one of the Paskeville Sporting Bodies canteens ready for this year's field days.

WITH 50,000-plus people expected to attend the 2013 Yorke Peninsula Field Days, keeping everyone fed and watered is no mean feat. Local community groups and sporting clubs are given the opportunity to cater at the event as a fundraiser. The Paskeville Sporting Bodies – composed of Paskeville bowls, cricket, tennis, basketball netball and football clubs – run three canteens and have 120 people volunteering on each of the three days. The volunteers prepare, cook and serve food and drinks including sandwiches, baguettes, fruit salads, salads, pies, pasties, sausage rolls, hot ham and cheese rolls, buns, hot chips, steak sandwiches, hot dogs, egg and bacon rolls, hot cinnamon donuts, cappuccinos, tea/coffee/hot chocolate, hot potatoes, ice-creams and cool drinks. "We also provide teas and a bar facility at the Paskeville Community Centre from Monday to Thursday night inclusive to cater for the site holders staying at the 'mini caravan city' on the town oval," sporting bodies secretary Carrie Ramsey said. It is a big task to coordinate the rosters,

order and deliver the food, organise change, clean and prepare the canteens in the leadup to the field days, not to mention pack up and clean up afterwards. But the hard work pays off with the catering being a significant fundraiser for the clubs. "We don't have a major industry like mining or a large business which employs people in Paskeville, so the field days is the one major opportunity to provide a service and raise funds," Carrie said. "The money raised is divided between the clubs involved and enables them to continue to improve clubrooms and facilities, purchase equipment, and also help cover running costs such as water and electricity." Carrie said, whilst it is challenging to source such a large volume of volunteers, all the clubs have been very supportive. “We try to make it fun when working at the field days, and hope all involved can be proud of the service we offer, what a small community we are, and how our voluntary hours give back to our little thriving community for our children,” she said. “We all work tirelessly but I think all would agree it is worth it in the long run.”

St Peter's creating an inspiring environment “SUCCESSFUL boarding is built on the strength of the partnership between boys, their parents and staff — the open communication and clear expectations each has of the other.” This is a key philosophy of Paul Brown, head of boarding at St Peter’s College in Adelaide, who ensures the Saints’ boarding house is a home away from home, a place where each boy is safe to be himself. “It is a privilege to be entrusted with the wellbeing of other people’s children, to help them navigate some of the difficulties when they first arrive and to be rewarded as they develop into contributors to, or even mainstays of, a pleasant and productive life away from their families,” Mr Brown said. Importantly, the family of each boy is a part of the boarding house community,

INSPIRING SUCCESS... St Peter’s College, Adelaide, offers country students an inspiring social and emotional environment to ensure they get the most out of the next stage in their education. as parents and the residential staff work collaboratively to support each boy through his time at Saints.

As a father himself, Paul is keen to ensure the boys under his care have an enjoyable, safe and fulfilling

time as a Saints’ boarder. Life as a boarder at St Peter’s College provides boys from years 7 to 12 with much

more than a place to sleep; it delivers access to countless opportunities to achieve their best in all aspects of schooling at Saints. “The boys who become part of the Saints’ boarding community enjoy taking up the challenge and uncovering the many possibilities open to them academically, in sport, in the arts and spiritually,” Mr Brown said. “The boys can make the most of the school’s diverse co-curricular and curricular programs — whether they are playing sport or rehearsing for a musical performance, life as a boarder is rewarding and enriching.” For more information, visit Mr Brown or one of the other staff at the St Peter’s College stand during the Yorke Peninsula Field Days or visit www.stpeters.sa.edu.au.

Smooth transition for Glencore

STILL VITERRA... Despite Swiss grain trader Glencore taking over Viterra last December, the branding has remained the same.

GLENCORE is preparing for its first full harvest since taking over Viterra in December 2012. The Swiss grain traders paid approximately $6million for the Canadian agribusiness but have not changed the brand name in South Australia. “We’ve kept the Viterra branding and head office here,” a spokesperson said. “The transition has gone very smoothly and as a business we are now focused on preparing for harvest. “All of our storage and handling information for this year is now on our website and gives growers, carriers and commercial carriers all the information they need in terms of our harvest operations for this year.” Viterra have more than 100 grain receival sites in South Australia, including Wallaroo,

Ardrossan and Port Giles. In the first year of new operations, an estimated 6.7 million tonnes of crop were harvested across the state, above the state average of 6.28 million tonnes. General manager of storage and handling Tim Krause said the company is preparing for another above-average harvest. “We recently met with the strategic site committee chairs from across the state to discuss our operational plans for the coming harvest and to seek their input and feedback as grower representatives,” Mr Krause said. “The detail now available on our website provides growers, carriers and marketers with comprehensive information in preparation for harvest, including grain delivery arrangements, receival standards, segregation

plans, site safety and Viterra’s up-country and port service fees for the 2013-14 season. “We have provided this information well before harvest to assist with decision-making around grain storage, handling and delivery activities and encourage people to visit our website. “We are very focused on ensuring smooth harvest operations for our grower and commercial customers as we prepare for a large crop, including recruiting approximately 1500 harvest casuals. “With a strong shipping program in the past year, we are expecting carry-over stocks to be very low and with approximately one million tonnes of shipping already booked for the harvest period, we are well positioned to receive the crop.”

Field days fashions with a vintage twist ICONIC Adelaide brands with a vintage twist will grace the catwalk at this year’s field days fashion parades in the Murray Allen Wool and Sheep Pavilion. “This season, it’s all about a classic vintage look and how to incorporate those favourite vintage pieces we all have in our wardrobes with current fashion,” parade coordinator Nadia Stamp, from Rachel’s Modelling Agency, said. “At the end of each parade, Brisbane-based stylist Kate Miller will hold styling sessions, following the concept of bringing those vintage pieces into the now.” Featured brands this year include Review Australia, with its classic 1950s inspired romantic florals and

candy coloured hues, and Adelaide’s iconic Rundle Street store Miss Gladys Sym Choon. High fashion and formal wear has been the hallmark of the Miss Gladys Sym Choon name for 90 years, a trend continued by designer Razak since taking over the store in 1985. “The parades will feature Razak’s stunning formal wear, women’s and men’s fashions,” Ms Stamp said. “For the more mature lady we have the resort wear range from Aqua Boutique, including their beautiful caftans.” For the men, it’s all about Ivy League, a brand inspired by North Eastern American universities, with a blend of classic button down shirts and jackets, and

modern Merino knits. “Of course we’ll also feature country favourites such as RM Williams,” Ms Stamp said. Eight models from Adelaide agency RMT Management will bring the fashions to life on the catwalk. “Look out for local lad from Kadina Luke Naylor who will be modelling in this year’s parade,” Nadia said. “He has just signed with RMT and has a bright future ahead as a model. “This year, every parade will be different with more fashions on show as the days progress and I’m really excited by what we are going to be presenting,” Ms Stamp said. “It’s going to be entertaining and lots of fun.”

Wet winter brings season forward

WET WINTER... YP AG Agronomist Chris Davey said crops are about three weeks ahead of schedule as a result of a milder winter.

A WETTER-than-average and milder winter has brought crop stages about three weeks ahead of schedule. According to Weatherzone senior meteorologist Brett Dutschke, the number of rainy days this winter has been just above average; however, higher moisture from warmer waters has led to heavier bursts of rain. “Looking ahead to spring, the season is looking fairly normal and overall spring is likely to be near-or-wetter than average and near-or-slightly-warmer than average,” he said. “However, unlike winter, it looks like rainfall and night-time temperatures will trend nearer to average due to a reduction in atmospheric moisture and a reduction in strong fronts. “This would lead to longer dry periods and a higher likelihood

of frost compared with winter which is a bit of a concern for farmers.” YP AG Agronomist Chris Davey said, overall, most of Yorke Peninsula has had one of its wettest growing seasons; however, this comes with a few disadvantages. “In the heavier soil types, crops experience water logging and in sandier soils, the higher rainfall means a lot of nutrients leach,” Mr Davey said. “The crops are more advanced and have bigger canopies in 2013, which means diseases come in earlier and there is a higher disease pressure. “The early, warm start has benefited diseases like Net Form of Net Blotch in barley, whereas Yellow Leaf Spot has thrived during winter in the wet, windy conditions.”

Despite the disadvantages, Mr Davey said farmers are optimistic and hoping to harvest double their normal yields. “With the amount of moisture in the soil at the moment we only really need below-average to average rainfall in spring with a mild finish to achieve this,” Mr Davey said. “The only things that will stop us from obtaining above average yields will be extreme weather events like frosts, very hot days and drying northerly winds “Ideally, the farmers would like the rain to shut off in early October to allow them to have a stress-free harvest. “At this stage though, the forecast is for above-average rain throughout spring which could mean more disease and a lot more fungicides needing to be used.”

Median age of Australian farmers increasing THE profile of Australian farmers is changing with the Australian Bureau of Statistics finding the median age of farmers in 2011 to be 53 — nine years older than in 1981. Since then, the proportion of farmers younger than 35 has more than halved to just 13 per cent, with the proportion of farmers over 55 increasing by 21 per cent to 47 per cent. In 2011, almost a quarter (23 per cent) of farmers were aged 65 years or over, compared with just three per cent of people in other occupations. Curramulka farmer John Stone will turn 53 in October and said farming at his age is sometimes a mental challenge. “In the end I’m still doing what I did 20 to 30 years ago but we deal with a lot more chemicals and

government red tape, which I think really takes away from the farming,” John said. “There’s just a lot more paperwork to do and even the amount of mail we get now is so much more than we used to get.” John said farming is also becoming more physically challenging, particularly sheep work. “Mucking around with sheep is a challenge because you have to be physically quite capable,” he said. “My son Matthew enjoys sheep work and for that reason I am happy to stay with sheep for a while longer. “Also having rock in the land like we have here, having sheep and crops is a good combination and the sheep do well on it, and some years you can make as much out of sheep as you can with crops.”

John and wife Sally had their two children when they were in their 40s and John thinks he will be farming for at least another 10 years before Matthew will take over. “I will probably farm until I am 65 if my health hasn’t given out before then,” he said. “There are more and more health issues going forward, so you shouldn’t leave it too late to go and do what you want to do. “If Matthew can manage and maintain the farm then I’ll be off!” John’s father still helps on the farm and John said he would also be happy to continue helping his son on the farm after his retirement. In the meantime, John is still enjoying farming. “Farming is great for keeping you stimulated — there is so much variety and it is always changing,” he said.

IN ACTION... The Cropstalker in action. The shielded sprayer matches the row spacing of the airseeder and sprays the weeds in the inter-row with non-selective knockdown herbicides. KOCH Ag Services, Maitland, is an authorised Trimble dealer and sells all Trimble products including cameras and Cropstalker shielded sprayers. It offers services in yield mapping, NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index) and data management for variable rate applications. “Our RTK (Real Time Kinematic) network covers more than a quarter of a million acres from Crystal Brook to Marion Bay and we can offer people precision technology packages from the most advanced systems to the most basic,” Darryl Koch said. “Precision ag is an ever-growing part of the farming business and our knowledge base and attention to detail makes sure it really works for the farmer.” One of the latest pieces of precision ag technology on the market is the Cropstalker shielded sprayer. “The Cropstalker matches the row spacing of your airseeder and sprays the weeds in the inter-row with nonselective knockdown herbicides,”

Aaron Jak explained. “It uses robocrop side shift technology to follow the rows and the camera mounted to the tool bar identifies the green rows of the crop and shifts the shields with hydraulics left or right to make sure it is always in the correct position. “The shields are designed for 10,12 or 15 inch crop rows and spray the entire inter-row, leaving a three-inch gap between for the crop to go through. “The Cropstalker allows farmers to kill weeds in crops which they normally wouldn’t have a good option for with selective herbicides. “Weeds like ryegrass and brome grass in cereals and bifora or medic in lentils can be sprayed with Gramoxone or Sprayseed for a good kill. “Farmers don’t have to use chemicals which can knock the crop around or stunt its growth because nothing is being sprayed on the crop.” To find out more, visit the team from Koch Ag Services at the field days.

Olympic supplying SA since the 1960s Olympic Industries is a family-owned and operated business in Adelaide. Formed more than 50 years ago, Olympic Industries has combined the know-how of architectural designers, the skills of the manufacturer and experience in construction to become a multi-award winning and leading company in the Australian market. A significant initiative was taken in 1978 when Olympic Industries purchased a roll-forming machine and started rolling its own steel sections. Olympic Industries, which initially produced roofing and wall cladding, has since expanded its range, but continues to manufacture high-tensile steel C sections from 75mm up to 150mm in various gauges along with a variety of flashings and other goods. Right from its earliest days, the company committed itself to research and development, one of its notable successes being 75C10, a C section made from high-tensile steel 1mm thick. This section was proved under load testing conditions by the Department

of Engineering at the University of Adelaide. The testing proved the section could span greater distances, it could be supplied in far longer lengths and would be lighter to handle and to cart. These benefits, plus the inbuilt qualities of not being affected by termites, splitting or shrinkage, ensured its acceptance. Consequently, in spite of the decline in building and constructional activity in South Australia during the early ’80s, Olympic Industries doubled its factory space to keep pace with increasing demand for its products. Since the advent of the do-it-yourself trend, the company has developed systems and corrections for structures the handyman can erect with minimum fuss and the standard range of tools. Today, the primary supplier of materials is BlueScope Steel and extensive use is made of Colorbond Steel. Olympic Industries’ many awards include the BHP Trophy for the Best Use of Australian Steel and the ANZ Bank Award of Excellence.

DEMAND... There is such demand for Olympic Industries’ products, the company has had to continually increase its factory space in South Australia.

Double your battery life with Recharge THE humble battery is an often-overlooked keystone of modern technology. Your car, truck or tractor wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start without one, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an endless list of toys, games, appliances and emergency items which rely on a lead-acid â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to keep pumping. The battery may very well have been invented in ancient Mesopotamia, but its modern form goes back more than 100 years.

Electrical pioneers like Edison would easily recognise even the most modern car battery of today â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to tell you about their biggest problem too. All lead-acid batteries suffer from sulphation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the buildup of the element sulphur inside from regular use. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unavoidable and batteries new off the shelf already have the beginnings of sulphation. In fact, this is

the process which will finally finish off many batteries at the end of their lifespan. However, there is an answer which can extend your battery life up to eight or even 10 years! Recharge battery technology is designed to dissolve the sulphur ions back into the electrolyte, stopping the corrosion of the batteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead plate and allowing it to hold a charge again. The results have to be seen

The Stack

to be believed, Recharge literally breathes new life into ailing batteries. Even sealed batteries can be successfully treated and restored with this easy-to-use method. Recharge is no longer available from CRT, but stock will be available at the Yorke Peninsula Field Days. You can also check out www.recharge.net.nz for more information about the science involved.

The Bra Lady making lingerie fit MICHELLE Turner, aka the Bra Lady, will once again be attending the field days and will bring with her a range of lingerie by brands such as Berlei, Triumph, Bellissima. Michelle invites women to visit her and experience a bra fitting she said will change their life and make them feel like a new woman. “It is so important to have confidence in the way you look and feel, and something that is so simple, yet so often forgotten, can make you feel like a new woman,” Michelle said. “That’s having your bra fitted properly.” Michelle said eight out of 10 ladies do not wear the correct size bra or the right undergarments to suit their body shape. “Bras are too small and too tight and undergarments just not the right choice, and this issue is so easy to fix and can change confidence levels

Get connected with transport

CONNECTED... Transport Connection general manager David Rees with sales team members Gary Lines, Kym Penhall and Mike Bass.

ADELAIDE trailer dealership Transport Connection has expanded its product range by adding prominent brands Freighter, Maxi-CUBE, Lusty EMS, Peki and AZMEB to its portfolio. After the recent majority acquisition of the dealership by MaxiTRANS, Transport Connection now offers a significantly wider variety of products, making it a onestop shop for almost every type of transport equipment. “From tautliners to skels, semis, refrigerated vans, tippers and side tippers, we’re now set up to assist with just about any enquiry,” Transport Connection general manager David Rees said. Mr Rees, himself a veteran of 34 years in the trailer

industry, is proud of the team the dealership has put together. “Transport Connection has managed to assemble an unrivalled team of productspecific experts from around the state,” he said. “While each of them will be selling all products into different parts of the state, they’ll be able to feed off each other’s knowledge and work together to form an expert team.” With B-double access and its existing industry-leading service and parts division, Mr Rees believes the dealership, situated in Adelaide’s transport hub of Wingfield, can further build on its already strong reputation. “We really think we can

assist with just about any enquiry now,” Mr Rees said. “It’s a great position to be in.” Although he doesn’t believe in fate, Transport Connection’s new products do have a degree of destiny attached to them, considering Mr Rees started his career working for Freighter Industries (as it was then known) in Ballarat. “It’s certainly come full circle, but fate doesn’t come into my calculations,” he said. “We want to sell the best trailer brands and remain the best trailer dealership in South Australia. “If we continue to work hard to achieve and maintain that, then that’s the most I could hope for.” Page 1

Local produce in Larwood Pavilion

DELICIOUS... Lyall Schulz and Janine Smith, from Barley Stacks Wines, will be amongst members of the Y3P group promoting their products in the Larwood Pavilion.

THE Yorke Peninsula Producers group was last year rebranded as Y3P (Yorke Peninsula People, Products and Places) and group members will be showcasing their products at this year’s field days. Y3P member Lyall Schulz said it will be the first big step for the group. “Through the encouragement of the field days committee, we were offered the opportunity to showcase Yorke Peninsula produce in the Larwood Pavilion,” Lyall said. “The Central and Southern Yorke Peninsula Tourism Association was very generous in assisting and subsidising the site costs to allow this to happen.” Lyall said the mission statement of Y3P is “putting Australia’s best foot forward” which is what the group intends to do at the field days. “Our intention is to give people visiting the field days the opportunity to see what produce we have here on the

peninsula,” he said. “It is somewhere for people to come and experience a number of YP products and see it all in one place — it is really all about promoting Yorke Peninsula. “I don’t think a lot of people on YP even realise what we make here.” Lyall said there will be tastings and demonstrations from a number of Y3P members in the pavilion. “Exhibitors will include Barley Stacks Wine, Paper Nymph, Alpacas Chaparral, MBC Foods, the Inland Sea, Geraldton Hill, the Marion Bay Tavern, The Boardwalk Accommodation as well as other YP tourist information,” he said. Lyall said Y3P is a positive venture for YP businesses. “As an individual, a lot of people can’t get leverage to promote their products and services, so we are hoping Y3P can bring these people together,” he said. “Yorke Peninsula needs something like this.”

Ag bureaus still serving farming community THE Bute Ag Bureau has been running for more than 100 years and is still proud to be serving the farming community. Branch secretary Milton Green said the group of about 18 to 20 members meets four times a year and offers services on an asneeds basis. “Recently, we held an information night at the Bute Bowling Club concerning oversize vehicles which was hosted by the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure and we had more than 50 people roll up,” Mr Green said. “Earlier, we had a study tour on the West Coast where we looked at the flour mills at Cummins and tuna fishing at Port Lincoln.” “As a bureau we run a wheat crop competition, which has been going for a long time, where members put in a crop which is judged by an independent person and the winner gets a prize and their name on a shield. “Last year, there was a chainsaw accreditation course through TAFE where we had about 20 and through the bureau we were able

to subsidise it.” Mr Green said the branch was boosted with more members when the Alford bureau folded several years ago but is now looking for younger members. “We are always looking for more members because we are a vehicle for local issues so we try to cover them as much as we can,” Mr Green said. “We would love to get some younger farmers involved because our youngest member is in his 40s, but having said that we got a good number of young farmers to our information evening earlier this year. “There are less and less farmers because they sell out and retire so therefore there are less people in the country.” Mr Green said nowadays the branch’s main focus is assisting with the Yorke Peninsula Field Days, including planning and working bees. Other Ag Bureaus on Yorke Peninsula include Arthurton, Boors Plains, Moonta, Paskeville, Petersville, South Hummocks and Snowtown.

Conserving and revegetating YP TREES For Life has been integral in many revegetation and conservation projects in the Yorke Peninsula region during recent years. One of its latest projects on southern Yorke Peninsula aims to revegetate 131 hectares of marginal agricultural land and restore 61 hectares of bushland. The work, funded through a biodiversity grant from the federal government, is on two adjoining properties at Point Yorke. Trees For Life’s direct seeding team has already completed seed collection expeditions, invasive species weed and vermin control in the area and also some revegetation on previously cropped areas. The team also recently direct seeded a diverse seed mix into a 33 hectare area (or 75 kilometres of rows) using its v-blade machine, taking advantage of moist soil conditions — even on some of the more sandy areas. Trees For Life has also done a small hand direct seeding trial, using 0.4 grams (large and fine) of seed per spot over 78 spots. The purpose of the trial is to see how the seed spots will germinate compared with the normal method of

If the results are successful, it is planned to modify Trees For Life’s direct seeding machines to be able to sow intermittently. This will result in a large reduction in seed usage and many different options in plant spacing. If you have any revegetation or conservation queries, visit Trees For Life in the PIRSA marquee at this year’s Yorke Peninsula Field Days. Direct seeding expert Dennis Hayles will also be available on September 25 and 26 to discuss any direct seeding queries you might have.

20I3

Kicking goals to success at PAC THE boarding house at Prince Alfred College has a sustained reputation for inspiring academic and sporting excellence. In what would be a college record, four PAC students, all boarders, have captured the eyes of AFL scouts and are being considered for the national draft in November. In 2013, year 12 students George Hewett (Port Broughton), Cameron Giles (Armagh Valley) and Campbell Combe (Crystal Brook), and 2012 graduate Jake Pitt (Lucindale), hope to follow in the footsteps of recent graduates Jack Trengove, Luke Tapscott and Jack Viney (all Melbourne Football Club) and Sam Day (Gold Coast Suns). “This is a particularly bright group of students, not only in terms of their intelligence but also their lust for life,” PAC’s First XVIII coach, and 2012 State Schoolboys (Secondary) Coach of the Year, Troy McKinnon said. “I doubt there has been a more talented group of boys go through a South Australian school in the

past 20 years. “Not only are the boys a force to be reckoned with on the football field, but also in the classroom, with 10 of the First XVIII recently awarded academic honours and colours.” Troy believes the key to PAC’s student successes in sport, in the classroom and in life is the same. He said the commitment to educating the whole boy at Princes should never be underestimated. Sport and co-curricular pursuits give boys the opportunity to practise the same aspects of learning as the academic programs in the college. “The IB learner profile looks to develop each boy’s ability to think deeply, problem solve, act with principle, reflect, take risks, stick to the task and show courage —- sport and cultural pursuits do exactly this,” he said. He said the boarders are a particularly talented group of boys. “Boarders often come from small rural areas and they really appreciate the sense of community that sport brings,” he said.

TALENTED... PAC’s First XVIII coach Troy McKinnon with team members George Hewett (Port Broughton), Campbell Combe (Crystal Brook), Cameron Giles (Armagh Valley) and 2012 graduate Jake Pitt (Lucindale) are all smiles after the boys are tipped to make South Australian history at the National AFL Draft in November.
