BRUCE PHILBEY

ROSALIE PEARCE

ADRIAN MASON

Boors Plains Agricultural Bureau Geoff has been an ag bureau member since 1997 and on the field days committee for about 10-12 years. “The field days bring all the latest technology for the farmers to have a look at and compare makes and models in close proximity without having to travel all over the countryside. I enjoy farming in a fairly good area in that we rarely miss out because of drought,” he said.

Bute Agricultural Bureau A member of his local ag bureau for 44 years and on the ﬁeld days committee for six years. Bruce enjoys the social interaction and opportunity for face-to-face communication with representatives of farming products and services at the ﬁeld days. “I enjoy farming on the peninsula because it’s a reliable district well serviced by machinery providers and associated services,” he said.

Cunliffe Women in Agriculture and Business A Cunliffe WAB member for about 25 years and started on the field days committee in 2008-4. “The field days brings the community together with their fundraising efforts for their organisation, whether is a sporting group or church group,” she said. “It’s been a great place for younger people to see how volunteering helps the community.”

Arthurton Agricultural Bureau Adrian has been an ag bureau member for 20 years and on the YP Field Days committee for the past nine years. Adrian enjoys going to the ﬁeld days to look at the latest machinery without pressure from a salesperson. He loves farming on Yorke Peninsula because of its proximity to everything and reliable seasons.

NICK CORRELL

PAUL BROWNING

LUKE GRAHAM

MICHAEL BARKER

Paskeville Agricultural Bureau Ag bureau member for 15 years, ﬁeld days committee for 10. “The ﬁeld days is a great event to showcase the ag industry and the YP region. It’s an important opportunity for farmers and family to socialise and look at modern machinery and goods,” Nick said. “The peninsula is a vibrant and prosperous region to farm in with many young farming families able to continue on the family farm.”

Boors Plains Agricultural Bureau An ag bureau member for 38 years, Paul became involved with the YP Field Days committee in the mid-1980s. “One thing the ﬁeld days does well is involve local schools, sporting clubs, church groups, CFS and SES, et cetera. The event enables them to do some serious fundraising,” he said. As a farmer, Paul enjoys working outdoors in a scenic and productive area.

Petersville Agricultural Bureau An ag bureau member for the past four years, Luke joined the ﬁeld days committee 10 months ago. “As a young farmer, the ﬁeld days are a great way to see new, innovative machinery,” he said. “It’s great to learn by chatting with others who are involved with the ag industry. I enjoy the farming lifestyle and being lucky enough to farm good, reliable country.”

Moonta Agricultural Bureau Member of the Alford then Moonta Ag Bureaus for 26 years, ﬁeld days committee for 10 years. “The ﬁeld days are good for the local economy, inc. eateries and accommodation.

Seeding, harvest and shearing bring back many happy memories. I also enjoyed the grain marketing side of the business.”

Petersville Agricultual Bureau An ag bureau member for 32 years, ﬁeld days committee for 10. “The ﬁeld days is such a great event because you get to look at new technology and products, catch up with people you don’t see often, and it’s a good boost for the area,” Martin said. “YP is a nice place to live with a mild climate, and we’ve got great services available to us.”

Paskeville Agricultural Bureau Brenton has been an ag bureau member since Gary Ablett Senior won the Norm Smith (1989) and on the ﬁeld days committee for 10 years. “The event is great for catching up on the latest machinery and gear in agriculture, but also catching up for a chat and a drink (or a steak sandwich) with others,” he said. “We’re farming on the leg that carries Australia! It’s a great lifestyle, close to everything you need.”

Agricultural/historical coordinator Malve has been on the field days committee for “a couple of decades”. He is a life member of the field days and the Paskeville Ag Bureau. “I’ve been around long enough and seen many new ideas come into the field days; some are adopted, some are not,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity to get a visual and compare machinery, et cetera.”

President’s message with Bruce Philbey THE 2019 Yorke Peninsula Field Days will be held on the permanent site at Paskeville on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 24, 25 and 26. The organising committee extends a warm welcome to the many exhibitors and site holders as well as the general public to come along and be part of our massive event. Communication has changed immensely in recent years with electronic services and social media platforms. The agricultural sector has embraced these changes, but the YP Field Days provides an important opportunity for all participants to have meaningful face-to-face interaction with others, at a business level and also on a social basis. The YP Field Days displays include a vast array of products and services. Conversing with exhibitors and viewing their offerings is just as, if not more, important for gaining information than from gazing at a smart phone. Social interaction between friends, neighbours and the wider general public is also important for a person’s wellbeing and the YP Field Days is a wonderful opportunity to catch up with like-minded people. Volunteers are a very important component of what makes our event work well and the committee expresses gratitude to all those individuals and members of community bodies who sacrifice some of their time to PRESIDENT… Yorke Peninsula Field help make our event successful. Days president, Bruce Philbey. The committee has also been fortunate to have leadership and professional input from our small team of staff. We are pleased to have the Yorke Peninsula Country Times become our major sponsor and also want all other sponsors to know we very much appreciate their contribution. As president of the organising committee I want to acknowledge the Agricultural Bureau of South Australia and the involvement of the seven local branches whose delegates make up most of the committee. I thank them for their dedication and sacrifice of time and effort that goes toward making our YP Field Days rewarding for everyone who participates.

MARK NORTHCOTT Moonta Agricultural Bureau Mark has been an ag bureau member for 15 years and on the field days committee for 10. “The event showcases the best farming technology and service providers. It also assists local clubs and sporting bodies with fundraising,” he said. Mark works in the banking sector and enjoys his involvement with farmers through that role.

GREG ALLEN Arthurton Agricultural Bureau An ag bureau member for 30-plus years, Greg is a proxy representative for the field days committee. “It’s a great event for Yorke Peninsula and brings a lot of people to the area,” he said. “It’s good for comparing machinery manufacturers.” As a farmer, Greg enjoys the good, mostly reliable area with a great climate.

Potential there but more rain needed

EXCITED... James and Zoe Meier are excited for the Yorke Peninsula Field Days but have also been doing some rain dances in the hope the season will finish well.

PASKEVILLE farmer Brad Meier said the season is not looking too bad thus far but September rain is crucial. “The crops are looking very good for the amount of rain we’ve had. It’s been dry but the rain has come at the right times,” he said. “We have had a similar amount of growing season rainfall to last year, but the subsoil moisture we had last year just hasn’t been there. “We certainly need another big rain and we’ll take it anytime, even if it is during the ﬁeld days. “They say if we get rain during the ﬁeld days, it’s always a pretty good season!” The Meiers have planted wheat, barley and lentils, as well as sheep feed. “The cereals are looking quite good and price wise they seem to be our best bet too,” Brad said. “The pulse has dropped out of pulses but hopefully the prices will

pick up before harvest or we can store our lentils until prices improve.” Brad said the growing season has gone well but the race isn’t over yet. “Fertiliser availability caused a few farmers headaches but we were able to access our supply when we needed it,” he said. “We’ve had some brilliant weather for spraying and the timing of the rain has been good.” Brad looks forward to the field days and is anticipating a busy few days. “I love getting off the farm during field days and seeing other people, checking out new machinery and innovations, doing my bit for the community working in the canteens, and helping out in the history museum as a Pasky Ag Bureau member,” he said. Geoff Lamshed farms near Cunliffe and agrees he would be happy to see some rain during the field days. “Yield will be dramatically reduced if we have hot and dry weather in

City slickers, country bumpkins & beach bums...

September,” he said. “We need good rain during September and early October. “We started with a subsoil moisture profile that was completely dry but got 35mm to start seeding in early May. “Then it’s been week by week accumulating bits here and there. “The crops were starting to wilt before we got the last big rain of 17mm. “When the crops come out in head, we would ideally require 10mm a week at least to fill the head and keep the yield potential.” However, Geoff said this isn’t dry compared with 1959. “I remember that year was the most serious drought I have experienced,” he said. “Some crops only yielded one or two bags per acre in the Cunliffe area. “But we are very lucky that we farm such reliable land and we always get something.”

Stylish Bird on the catwalk

LOCAL SPECIAL GUEST

FASHION... Owner of Moonta business Stylish Bird Boutique Jo Rodda is looking forward to showcasing the latest spring and summer fashions at the YP Field Days on Tuesday, September 24.

THIS year’s Guest Speaker Pavilion fashion parade will be provided by Moonta business Stylish Bird Boutique. “We are very excited to be showcasing a range of styles from the upcoming spring and summer collections at the field days,” business owner Jo Rodda said. “There’s nothing like seeing clothing on a body, it always looks much different to what it does on a rack. “We will have local models parading the clothing and accessories from varying ages, and fashion from sizes 8 to 22 will be showcased.” Jo is passionate about styling and merchandising and knows her stuff, having worked in the retail industry for more than 40 years. “I got my first job at Robbies (Robertsons) in Kadina when I was 17 and fresh out of high school,” she said. “I worked there for more than 30 years; even when I had our three children and was busy with them, I would still go back to Robbies and do the window displays.” When Jo was needed on the family sheep

station, she stepped back from retail for a couple of years. “Returning to work in the fashion industry in Moonta, I loved the friendly village feel of this seaside town,” she said. “When an opportunity to purchase Frocks came up, we saw it as now or never to own my own boutique. “I renamed it Stylish Bird Boutique and kept all the favourite labels but have put my own style into the store and introduced more than a dozen exciting new labels, which suit a broad range of age groups and lifestyles.” So, what’s going to be in fashion this spring and summer? “Textured linens are still very strong as well as soft, ﬂowing silks which you can dress down with jeans or dress up for a formal function,” Jo said. “Nautical is always popular, large and delicate ﬂorals, animal print is still showing and there are lots of fun, bold, geometric prints. When it comes to colours, there are some beautiful pieces in soft pinks and greens, mustard and earthy colours are still popular, and khaki is the new black!”

Local author launching The Model Wife WELL-known local author Tricia Stringer will share her story and launch her latest book The Model Wife in the Guest Speaker Pavilion on Wednesday, September 25. The field days is the perfect fit for the new book which tells the story of Natalie King — a woman approaching 60 who is very busy with her teaching job, a farm to run, three grown daughters who have not quite got a handle on things, a reserved husband and a demanding mother-in-law. “She’s the glue that holds everything together but then she has a health scare and, when in the doctor’s waiting room, she sees her husband with his arms around the woman he previously had an affair with,” Tricia said. “Her life goes before her eyes and she decides she needs some time out. “This is also prompted by an old book, a gift from her mother-in-law, which gives advice for what a young wife should be doing in the early 1900s. “She ends up escaping to the Dampier Peninsula and Broome.” Tricia said she is excited to be a

special guest at the field days. “I approached Lynn Spurling at the Kadina library to see if I could launch The Model Wife there and she said, it’s the same week of the field days, why don’t you tie that in?” Tricia said. “I’ll talk about my life as writer, as well as the new book, and Meg’s Bookshop will have copies of The Model Wife which I will be more than happy to sign. “The people I will be speaking to are the kind of people the book is aimed at; they will understand where the character in the book is coming from. “I’ll also be appearing at Kadina Newsagency the next day and will sign copies there too as well as an event at Yorketown Community Library on September 22.” Tricia said she can’t wait to see what people think of The Model Wife. “I’m always happy when my books come out but I feel this one is a little bit different again,” she said. “My publisher is making a big deal of it and has given it a bigger print run and is distributing it to more places.” Tricia will appear in the Guest Speaker Pavilion at 3.15pm.

Kathryn to share passion for sustainability LOCAL SPECIAL GUEST

SUSTAINABLE LIVING... Local Kathryn Loveridge will talk about sustainability products and her passion for shopping local at the YP Field Days on Tuesday, September 24.

KATHRYN Loveridge is passionate about making a positive environmental impact on the planet. She is now spreading the message and encouraging others to make an impact by sourcing sustainable products such as those she sells through her business Loveridge & Co. “I love that sustainability is becoming so important to so many people,” she said. “It can be easy to fall into the trap of being wasteful with so many disposable products being available, but I think it’s so important that we try to make small changes where we can. “It’s not about being perfect, it’s about trying — taking your coffee cup to the cafe, reusing paper where possible, learning how to recycle products or finding out who will take boxes for reusing.” Kathryn will speak about the inspiration behind her business at the field days as well as a social networking group she runs called Made in South Australia and why she loves to buy as much as she can locally. “I would have to say the South Australian products I stock are my favourites,” she said.

“For most of these products I speak directly to the person who has designed or made the product and it’s a great feeling supporting a family-owned business. “I love the WRAPPA beeswax wraps, JAMA deodorant, Kindred Self essential oils and That Red House soap berries to name a few.” Kathryn is a born and bred local and has fond memories of attending the ﬁeld days. “Some of my earliest memories as a child are of going to the Yorke Peninsula Field Days with my dad,” she said. “He would help transport sheep to the event for the sheepdog trials, so it was always a long day when I went with him, but a lot of fun. “I loved looking at the farm machinery with Dad and seeing all of the beautiful things in the pavilions. “It is lovely to take my own kids along now and watch them look at machinery with my parents; it’s grown a lot since I was a child and there are so many things for the kids to look at. “I am very excited, but also nervous to now be attending such an amazing event as a special guest!”

Mel making kokedamas IN making the move from Tasmania to South Australia, Mel Rosenthal has been able to turn a hobby, making kokedamas, into a small business. Mel is based in Owen but frequently travels to the Copper Coast and attends the Kadina Rotary Markets. “I have always been a keen gardener and had a love for plants,” Mel said. “Unfortunately, while in Tasmania, I wasn’t able to work with plants as much as I would have liked due to very cold weather, so once I had moved, I found my love for plants could be fulﬁlled. “I started making kokedamas about two and half years ago as the technique and look interested me for something diﬀerent.” Kokedama is a centuries-old Japanese bonsai garden form which has been making a comeback. “The word kokedama translates to moss ball in English but was also known as the poor man’s bonsai,” Mel said. “Kokedamas have become more popular recently as something unique to have in your home compared with the normal plant in a pot.” Mel said the technique is not easy.

LOCAL SPECIAL GUEST

“Making kokedamas is a process by which you use moss and twine to create a pot for your plant,” Mel explained. “You start with your choice of plant; most indoor plants are best suited. “You then add a good soil mix to the root ball of the plant depending on the size you wish to achieve, then wrap the ball of soil in moss and while holding it all together you then begin to wrap or bind with twine.” Mel said her kokedamas are unique in that she uses extra twine. “Most traditional kokedamas will have a minimal amount of twine but I have always used a large amount as this is what holds your kokedama together,” she said. “Kokedamas are easy to care for as they don’t require watering as often or as much as a regular pot plant.” Mel will demonstrate how to make a kokedama at the ﬁeld days and also have some for sale. “I’m looking forward to attending the Yorke Peninsula Field Days to demonstrate and share a gardening technique that can be challenging to create but well worth it for the ﬁnal product,” she said.

CHALLENGING TECHNIQUE... Mel Rosenthal has been making kokedamas for the past two and a half years and will demonstrate the technique at the field days on Thursday, September 26.

Buzz of activity in the wool and sheep pavilion

COMMUNITY-MINDED... Former Copper Coast Council mayor Paul Thomas AM is the oﬃcial guest of the 2019 Yorke Peninsula Field Days.

Paul Thomas AM official guest of 2019 field days FORMER Copper Coast Council mayor Paul Thomas AM is the official guest of the 2019 Yorke Peninsula Field Days. Mr Thomas was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia for significant service to local government, the northern Yorke Peninsula community, tourism and cultural events in 2017. After 28 years, Mr Thomas retired from council last year. He started on local government as a councillor in 1990 and was elected mayor in 2000. Major projects under his leadership included relocation of the Wallaroo Bowling Club and establishment of the Wallaroo Shopping Centre; cruise ship visits booked; redevelopment of the Copper Coast Sport and Leisure Centre; Splash Town at Moonta Bay; Port Hughes boat ramp; Kadina CBD upgrade; Community Wastewater Management Scheme at Moonta, Moonta Bay and Port Hughes; rail trail between Kadina and Wallaroo; and the OPAL program. During his time in public service, he was a delegate to committees including The Farm Shed and Tourism Centre, Yorke Peninsula Tourism and Yorke Regional Development Board. He also chaired the Northern Yorke Peninsula Hospital Board and NYP Health Service Board. Mr Thomas was part of the organising committee for the Kernewek Lowender for about 33 years, including as president from 1997 until 2013, and has been a member of the Rotary Club of Northern Yorke Peninsula for more than 25 years. He has a strong rural knowledge and his involvement with various boards, including regional development, has provided varying levels of expertise as a consultant. He has been involved in finance and small business, particularly taxation services, for more than 30 years. Mr Thomas always acknowledges the support of his wife Kathryn in his community endeavours and they look forward to catching up with people at the field days.

THE Murray Allen Wool and Sheep Pavilion will again be abuzz with activity during the 2019 Yorke Peninsula Field Days. There will be shearing demonstrations, static displays so you can learn more about wool, trade sites, virtual reality demonstrations and the famous, high-class fashion parades. “With record prices for wool and lamb, there is no better time to learn more about management practices to improve proﬁtability and celebrate the end-point of woolen fashion on the catwalk,” pavilion coordinator Carolyn Johnson said. “Embracing the full story of sheep production in Australia, from the beginning on farm to the consumer, the pavilion will be showcasing shearing demonstrations by TAFE SA, virtual reality by Think Digital, proudly sponsored by Australian Wool Innovation, various AWI producer resources and woollen fashion. “Visitors will be able to enjoy shearing demonstrations, with valuable information about shearer and wool handling training presented by TAFE SA. “With the wool industry currently enjoying lucrative returns, there are plenty of job opportunities for those who are willing to learn and reﬁne their skills associated with wool harvesting, so make sure you take

the opportunity to get information about TAFE SA training courses held throughout the state. “Technology is evolving at a rapid pace, and this year we have an exciting opportunity for people of all ages to experience paddock to plate through FarmVR. “Tim Gentle has being spreading the word about FarmVR by using immersive technologies to enhance agricultural education. “Make sure you come and experience FarmVR for yourself and complete the whole journey from paddock to plate.” Australian Wool Network will showcase its MerinoSnug products in the fashion parades. “With MerinoSnug, you’re able to trace the full provenance of your beautiful garments, right from our approved wool growers through to ethical and sustainable processing and manufacture,” a spokesperson said. “That’s because Hysport is now part of Australia’s largest wool marketing company, Australian Wool Network, with its vision of linking wool growers, wool processors and consumers. “AWN’s unique wool supply program, DNA with its QR code enabled swing tags, allows you to meet the particular wool grower and ﬂock your garment came from.” Younger sheep enthusiasts are

encouraged to get involved with the junior judging competition. “Accurate animal and wool assessments are the key to maintaining and improving profits for primary producers in the wool and sheep industry,” Carolyn said. “There is no better way to refine these skills than through junior judging on Wednesday, September 27. “This is an invaluable experience for those wanting to be confident in animal selection for breeding or accurately classing wool in the shearing shed. “With two age groups — 12-15 years and 16-25 years — it gives young enthusiasts the opportunity to get their hands on wool and sheep to help equip themselves for future job opportunities. “Australian Wool Network, YP Field Days, AWI, Merino SA, Orrie Cowie Merino and Poll Merino Stud, and Carcuma North Poll Merino Stud are all key sponsors of this competition. “For those wanting to learn more detail about wool processing and the chain of production, there will be various interactive displays to engage with. “Make sure you don’t miss out on practical resources that will help to improve production and profitability on farm.” The Murray Allen Wool and Sheep Pavilion is located on Alford Road.

DEMONSTRATION... TAFE SA shearer trainer Glen Haines demonstrates how to shear a sheep at the 2017 Yorke Peninsula Field Days. There will again be shearing demonstrations, as well as fashion parades, static displays, trade sites and more inside the Murray Allen Wool and Sheep Pavilion across the three days.

Take a trip into virtual reality WHAT would you do if you won a bus? This is exactly what happened to Tim Gentle, founder of Think Digital and FarmVR four years ago. He entered a Facebook competition to win a bus and said, if he won, he would convert it to a hi-tech mobile classroom and deliver digital education to rural, regional and remote Australia. That’s exactly what he did, naming it Rocky, the Think Digital Coach. From here, Tim started to explore and pioneer using immersive technology such as virtual reality and augmented reality to specifically help businesses focused on the ag sector to better tell their stories. He has filmed 360-degree experiences all around Australia and now has more than 200 available on the free FarmVR app, including dairy, wool, lamb, beef, aquaculture, pork and grains categories. “Recently we partnered with Meat and Livestock Australia to create a 360º immersive experience about Australian lamb production,” Tim said. “We then took this story, as well as a beef paddock-to-plate experience, to

more than 50,000 people throughout South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Queensland. “Think Digital, through FarmVR, is excited to bring these experiences to the Yorke Peninsula Field Days in 2019. “Using technology like VR and AR, we help to teach the next generation about where their food comes from and inspire career pathways in food and fibre. “We are also now using this technology for training applications — think chemical handling, sheep shearing, tractor maintenance and a raft of other applications where time, location or safety present training challenges. “At the YP Field Days you will be able to come and put on a VR headset for free and see for yourself how this immersive technology is helping to communicate to people around Australia and the world.” FarmVR is proudly sponsored to attend the YP Field Days by Wool Innovation and will be set up inside the Murray Allen Wool and Sheep Pavilion.

She is returning to the Yorke Peninsula Field Days to coordinate fashion parades in the Murray Allen Wool and Sheep Pavilion for the sixth time. Nadia’s fashion parades have become a feature at the field days as she continues to make her mark by showcasing a variety of Australian labels on the catwalk sponsored by Southern Cross Austereo. From Australian-grown wool garments to glamour gowns, there is always something for everyone. This year, Nadia is bringing fresh fashion inspiration with a focus on sustainability. “I’m thrilled to bring Australian-made labels including MerinoSnug, IO Merino and Kangaroo Island Wool to the runway,” she said. “I am a massive advocate for promoting Australian wool in fashion and have visited the factories for Merino and Co in Victoria. “Seeing how garments are made from Australian wool is very exciting as the quality keeps advancing and is something we should be promoting and celebrating as part of our heritage. “Ringers Western, a very popular country brand, will be showcased on the runway amongst other amazing Australian fashion labels including Review

Walford’s Innovation Boom Girls at Walford School are all set for a strong STEM future following the opening of the new Science Centre at the School. Named in honour of the second Principal, Ellen Benham, who introduced the study of science in 1912, the students are inspired by the science pioneer, as well as the accomplished alumnae in STEM fields who have followed in her footsteps. Ellen Benham is considered to be South Australia’s first woman of science and education achieving her Bachelor of Science from Adelaide University in 1892 and the first female academic at the University lecturing in Botany from 1902.

Digital televisions are placed in each lab, along with projectors and whiteboards. The chemistry lab is fitted with six moveable fume extractors, VR goggles, 3D printers and drones which are all learning tools available for students. This is certainly a far cry from Miss Benham’s first lessons with a microscope, sides and test tubes. Walford Principal, Rebecca Clarke, commented, “Walford is committed to providing the best teaching facilities in our new science centre to build the capabilities and engagement of our girls, so that they are able to continue to lead in STEM subjects and careers.” This year 60% of Walford’s Year 12 graduates from the class of 2018 are pursuing study at University in a STEM related field. This is testament to the exceptional teaching and learning experiences delivered by our Walford teachers, who are specialists in their fields. Walford’s Head of Science, last year provided the students with an experience they will never forget - a live call to Astronaut, Ricky Arnold through a NASA link, to the International Space Station. Last term 24 Walford Girls headed to the NASA Space Camp in the United States for Walford’s second STEM tour. Other projects underway at the School include the building of a dedicated Design & Technology Centre and a spectacular pavilion at the Parks Playing Field. Walford has a vision for the future and the facilities that are going to take student learning further into the 21st century.

The Premier of South Australia, the Hon Steven Marshall MP, donned a lab coat and safety glasses to perform the opening, not with the traditional ribbon cutting, but by igniting an experiment! Students then performed various experiments and demonstrations to showcase the facilities and advanced technology of the centre, much to the delight of parents and visitors. The Ellen Benham Science Centre consists of five outstanding laboratories which combine aesthetics with practical workspaces. The light, bright and modern flexible design inspires innovation, critical thinking and collaboration.

Kerslake Foundation chosen as official field days charity THE Kerslake Foundation has been chosen as the official charity for the 2019 Yorke Peninsula Field Days. The foundation was set up by Ben Kerslake to support melanoma awareness and research, and educate cancer sufferers about the highly positive effects of taking a holistic approach to healing. "In November 2014, at age 32, I was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma, for which the prognosis was dire – just four to six months to live," Ben said. "Right away I had surgery and radiotherapy on my head to remove a tumour, and following that we started immunotherapy. "I was eager to learn additional ways to tackle my diagnosis over and above conventional treatment when we came across the Gawler Cancer Foundation's retreat programs in the Yarra Valley. "The impact a plant-based diet has had on my recovery from treatments and general vitality is remarkable. I also started meditation and that has become an important part of my day. "By July 2015, the tumours were reducing a lot from my combined treatments, and I feel those dietary changes and returning my body to an alkaline state had a lot to do with that. "Since then, it has been my sole mission to share what I have learned and how I beat a terminal illness. "We are educating people about how important nutrition, meditation, exercise and regular skin checks are to regaining health. "By creating an environment in the body where cancer cannot thrive, we are helping to save lives. "I would not be here today if I did not adopt these fundamental changes in my lifestyle." Ben is excited the foundation has been chosen as the official charity for the field days and to spread the word with the 30,000-plus people who will attend the event. "Far too many people are unaware of melanoma and how dangerous getting sunburned is," he said. "Many of the attendees would have outdoor jobs such as farming so there will be a highlyrelevant audience at this event.

"You can come and visit us at site 5 in the Bussenschutt Pavilion and we will offer a free skin check. "During the past three years, we have held melanoma awareness games of football covering all six teams in the Mallee Football League. "Free skin checks were available on – Ben Kerslake these days and an average of 80 people saw our team of specialists from Molechecks Australia. "Last year, of the 80 people that had a check, eight had to have follow-up appointments and three turned out to be melanoma – scary numbers! "I want to educate as many people as possible about the importance of having regular skin checks as prevention is better than cure." Additionally, Ben has organised a promotional bike ride around the Copper Coast with local podiatrist Richard Crosby on Saturday, September 21. "We will ride about 120 kilometres through the surrounding local towns to promote what we are providing at the field days and talk about melanoma awareness/prevention," Ben said. "I love to keep active and I have also planned a major fundraising and awareness event called Kayak 4 Cure in which I will kayak the length of the Murray River in April and May next year. All funds raised will go towards melanoma research. "One of my board members is Dr Brendon Coventry, a surgical oncologist (general cancer surgeon) and PhD immunologist with many years of experience in cancer research, vaccine therapies and the role of the immune system in cancer control. "I have seen firsthand the amazing work that Brendon and his team conduct and how critical funding is for melanoma research."

"I was eager to learn additional ways to tackle my diagnosis over and above conventional treatment.”

Preserving field days history A devAstAting fire at the YP Field days site in February destroyed a lot of important information and historical data. thankfully, most of the historical photos were not affected as they were stored in a different location. However, it prompted volunteers to think, what if? if the photos had been in the administration building, they would have been burned and history lost forever. Paskeville Ag Bureau, which is responsible for the field days museum and photos, decided to approach Kadina business Copy King to create an electronic version of all images. “Owner Kym gregory has generously donated his time to scan in hundreds of our photos and upload them all onto an electronic database,” member graham Correll said. “i have had the job of bringing the photos from the field days site into Copy King. some of them are big images in old frames but he has still been able to scan them in. “there are so many photos of different field days over the years going right back to the turn of the century.” Kym said he was compelled to help as he is passionate about preserving history. “History is so important and what happened with the fire was such an important

reminder that history and memorabilia can literally go up in smoke,” he said. “We love it when people bring old photos into the shop for us to scan and upload digitally or reproduce. “scanning the field days photos has been an enormous job but now the history will be there forever and if anyone ever needs a photo from the field days it will be easy to access. “if anyone else wants to bring in their photos from the field days we will scan them in and add them to the field days database for free.” graham said he has enjoyed looking back at the old photos, one of his favourites being old cars parked at the Bute Field day in 1936. “History is important, it’s hard to go back and see what it used to be like without photos,” he said. “it only happens once and the photos show just how much things have changed. every time you look at old photos you can pick up something different or notice new things.” graham said the Paskeville Ag Bureau, and wider field days committee appreciates the support of Copy King. “it’s been a big job for Kym and we are very grateful,” he said. “it might not happen for this year’s event, but we plan to have a tv set up in the museum and have a slideshow of all the photos.”

BIG PLANS… An artist’s impression of the Wallaroo port development proposed by T-Ports which could be operational by 2021.

T-PORTS is excited about soon being able to offer growers on Yorke Peninsula and in the Mid North an alternative grain supply chain through the development of its port project at Wallaroo. T-Ports chief executive officer Kieran Carvill said, while the company was gearing up for its first harvest on Eyre Peninsula with the new Lucky Bay and Lock facilities, work was ongoing for the Wallaroo project. “We are looking forward to meeting growers at the upcoming Yorke Peninsula Field Days and learning from them what they might be looking for in a supply chain at Wallaroo,” he said. “On Eyre Peninsula, we are excited to be able to open Lock and Lucky Bay bunker sites in October for grain receivals.” The plans for the port at Wallaroo are now progressing through the

development application process, although planning has been underway for several years. Work to date has included signiﬁcant scoping studies of the coastal environment, shoreline, inland freight networks and economic feasibility to ensure the port’s long-term sustainability. The initial design is ﬁnalised and planning negotiations are underway with Crown development approval required for the project now at an advanced stage, with support from Copper Coast Council and the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure. “The port at Wallaroo is the logical next step in the T-Ports journey and we are at a point now where we are seeking the next stage of approvals with the relevant state government agencies and the Copper Coast Council,” Mr Carvill said. “The feedback we’ve received to date

has been very positive with growers looking forward to competition in the market. “Growers appreciate the need to increase competition in the state’s supply chains which will ultimately benefit them. “There are efficiencies and cost savings in building this port on the opposite side of the Spencer Gulf to Lucky Bay as we will utilise the same transhipment vessel, the Lucky Eyre. “She is currently having material handling systems installed in China ahead of arrival in Australian waters later this year. “When the approval process is finalised, we will be speaking with growers and offering them the opportunity to become involved as shareholders, as we have done with Eyre Peninsula growers.” The development will include the port

and loading facilities and bunker storage to be constructed in two phases. The port will have silo facilities with about 32,000 tonnes of storage, while the second phase will include construction of bunkers with storage capacity up to 250,000 tonnes of grain. Mr Carvill said construction of the port, which is expected to have an annual grain throughput of up to 500,000 tonnes, is likely to begin in 2020, with the site to be operational in 2021. “The construction process will take between 12 and 18 months and during that phase we will look to utilise South Australian expertise and contractors as we have done at Lucky Bay,” he said. “We expect the Wallaroo port and bunker site to employ up to 60 people. “Some of these would be casuals during peak periods such as harvest and shipping out-turn.”

Hayley empowering women on the land Hayley’s top three tips for women on the land 3 Do more of the things that make you feel happy. When you are happy, everyone around you is happy! 3 Strengthen your mind, just as you would your body. This will change your life (and your farming business). 3 Find a group of farming women who are amazingly supportive, who are like minded, who lift you up and bring the best out of you. These are the people you want to have your back!

SUPPORT GROUP… Mindset coach Hayley Grosser has started a social media group called Empowering Women on the Land — a space where women can connect about the highs and lows of farming, meet other farming women and feel supported.

LIFE on the land isn’t always easy, especially for farming women who seem to be juggling many tasks. Hayley Grosser is a farmer, farmer’s wife, mum of two farm boys, and a mindset coach who supports overwhelmed farming women to thrive amongst the craziness of farm life. She believes women on the land are some of the most amazing people she knows. “Not only are they usually working, either off farm or on farm, they are usually managing a house, raising children, and putting their hands up in the community,” she said. “Farming women juggle single parenting in the silly seasons, they become relief drivers, food delivery people, stock women, courier drivers for parts, gopher, go to, and everything in between. “They are the emotional support for their husbands, the brains trust, the financial advisor and are usually the ones in charge of recreation. “They are the unseen glue that sticks family farming businesses together and they usually do this without the support of anyone else.” Hayley farms alongside her husband near Kaniva in western Victoria where they have cropping and sheep enterprises. “I grew up on a farm but never classed myself as a country girl, as I was heading to the city and definitely never marrying a farmer,” she said. “But obviously life had a different plan for me, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!” Hayley has now started a group on social media called Empowering Women on the Land. “My intention for the group was to create a space where farmers, farmers’ wives, girlfriends and daughters could come together, meet and be supported by other like-minded farming women from all around Australia,” she said. “We can connect about the highs and lows that can be farming and meet other amazing farming women.” Hayley is also a mindset coach and helps women manage their time to become healthier, happier versions of themselves. “Three years ago I was juggling everything life involved — my to-do list never ended, I was taking on more and more and I was putting me further and further to the bottom of the pile,” she said. “It eventually took its toll on my mental, physical and emotional health and I burnt myself out completely. “Through my own personal growth and working with amazing mentors, I flipped my life completely on its head. I am now following my heart and was inspired to become a coach and support other farming women who were going through and feeling the same way I was.” Hayley has created a 12-week online program called Awaken You to guide others on their journey.

Cunliffe WAB branch bringing entertainment to the field days THE Cunliffe Women in Agriculture and Business branch first became involved with the field days when the event was held at Clem Schilling’s property in the 1970s. “The event was male driven but women attended so the organisers approached Cunliffe WAB and asked if we could provide some kind of entertainment,” current president Raelene Bussenschutt said. “Since then, we have always organised guest speakers or demonstrations related to the themes of food, flowers and fashion. “So many women go to the field days and whilst they enjoy looking around at the sites, not a great deal want to look at machinery all day. “They like to come into our area and listen to the guest speakers and have a rest.” The Cunliffe WAB branch followed the field days to the permanent site at Paskeville and has been a fixture ever since. “We had our first guest speakers at the new site in 1977,” Raelene said. “We were in a big shed and allocated half to the Country Women’s Association, and we set up the other half for the guest speakers. “There was no stage back then so we would bring in a semitrailer, it worked very well. “Down the track, the field days committee decided to build us another shed to cater for guest speakers and we got our own kitchen.”

Raelene said there have been many memorable speakers over the years. “Many years ago, we had Bernard King as guest speaker,” she said. “It was really wet and muddy so he went into Kadina and bought rubber boots then jumped in a helicopter and flew back to the field days. “It was very amusing! “Costa Georgiadis was a very popular entertainer at the last field days.” In the lead-up to the field days, the Cunliffe WAB members also keep busy supplying morning tea and lunch to all the volunteers at the field days site during their working bees. “In the six weeks leading up to the event, they hold weekly working bees and we provide all the food,” Raelene said. “This normally means we spend all day out at the site, as well as time cooking beforehand. But we know they appreciate the hearty meals. “We also supply lunch for the judges and our guest speakers during the field days. We assist the speakers in whichever way we can and make the stage look attractive. “We bring that feminine touch.” This year, Cunliffe WAB also decided to beautify the site where the administration building burned down and the plantation outside the guest speaker pavilion. “We created some garden plots and planted succulents as well as some pansies to add a bit

FEMININE TOUCH… Cunliffe Women in Agriculture and Business branch members Raelene Bussenschutt, Kathryn Fuss, Pauline Hage, Dulcie Barker and Rosalie Pearce beautify the land where the administration building burned down at the YP Field Days site earlier this year. of colour,” Raelene said. For its efforts, the Cunliffe WAB branch is allocated a portion of field days profits at the annual general meeting in February. “We always donate our money to charity,” Raelene said. “Last time, we donated to the CWA’s drought appeal and the

Buy a Bale campaign. “In the past, we have also donated to whichever charity the state WAB is supporting at the time. We also support local community events.” However, Raelene said the group needs new, young blood if it wants to continue into the future.

“We have 19 members but we are all getting older so we are looking for new, younger members,” Raelene said. “The time is coming where we will cease to exist unless we can get more younger members. “We are the only WAB branch on Yorke Peninsula so we would like to see it continue.”

Big changes for equipment in the market

PARTNERSHIP… John Deere Construction and Forestry managing director for Asia-Pacific and Africa Jeff Kraft and RDO Equipment’s general manager of sales Mark Kuhn officially announce the launch at Diesel Dirt and Turf 2019.

RDO Equipment has oﬃcially taken over as the John Deere Construction and Forestry Equipment dealer in all Australian states except Western Australia, and general manager of sales Mark Kuhn said the brand is set to make a big impact on the domestic market. By next year, Australian customers will be able to purchase the full line of John Deere products, including graders, wheel loaders, dozers, backhoes, excavators, articulated dump trucks, skid steer loaders and mini excavators. The products will be sold and serviced by a strategic dealer network, supported by a new John Deere parts depot and a highly-trained team. Mark said, even before the launch, there had been a positive reception for RDO. “People are looking forward to this change,” he said. “They’re excited about the expanded product range –– everyone wants more product –– and they’re excited by RDO’s approach to partnering with customers,” he said. According to Mark, the RDO customer experience starts with getting the basics right. “It’s actually simple stuﬀ that makes good customer relationships,” he said. “It’s getting back to people, it’s letting them know what’s going on, doing what you say you will do and being accountable. “We say the real work for our customers begins after delivery, with our plan to support them. That might involve

cross-training their staﬀ or developing parts consignments so they have parts ready the moment they need them. “We aim to tailor our service to the customer and have plans in place before our customers have a problem. “This is how we build customers for life, another core value for RDO. “We have put together a strong team here in Australia, including lots of industry veterans with really solid experience, and all of our people are passionate about the business. We’re 100 per cent focused on the John Deere product.” RDO has big plans for the Australian market, including consolidating and growing its forestry market share during the next three years, and bringing the full John Deere construction range to Australian dealerships inside 12 months. “There’s still a lot of major infrastructure work across Australia, so we expect our ﬁrst year will include a focus on graders and wheel loaders,” Mark said. “We know there’s a lot of excitement in the market about the new products coming in during the months ahead, including the excavator range. “The Australian market is very eager for the full line of John Deere equipment. “People know that John Deere means quality and reliability, and RDO means an exceptional customer experience.” RDO Equipment will be at Site 727 on Pine Forest West Road, and will have the 670GP motor grader and 544L wheel loader on display.

Women learning together on the peninsula

LOCAL women involved with the agriculture industry are banding together for education opportunities through a group called WoTL (pronounced wattle). WoTL — Women Together Learning — is a state-based organisation aiming to connect and advance women in agriculture and agribusiness, delivering new networks, knowledge and skills. “For many years, there was a Kadina Partners in Grain group led by Anne Pearce but this fell into a lull about seven years ago,” YP WoTL group coordinator Leanne Pridham said. “I decided to rejuvenate the group in 2017 under the WoTL banner. “The main aim is to get together, network and learn about information we can apply locally.” The group has about 60 members who are given first opportunity to sign up for a variety of workshops. To date, workshops have covered office efficiencies, technology tips and tools, occupational health and safety, sustainability and agronomy, and understanding your finances. “This year, we also ran a program called Empowering You –– Building Resilient Women,” Leanne said. “It was run over three sessions and the group did lots of fun activities like meditation, yoga and painting. “We had guest speakers talk about women’s health, communication, personality type, looking after your health and wellbeing, building habits, time management, and what it means to be resilient. “It was really well received and the participants got a lot out of it because it is something that hasn’t really been offered locally before. “We were able to build up relationships with each other which is valuable because even though everyone’s farming business is different, there are lots of similarities we can help each other out with.” About four YP WoTL workshops are organised every year. Members come from as far north as Port Broughton and as far south as Maitland, but anyone on Yorke Peninsula can join. “It doesn’t have to be just women either,” Leanne said. “If there is a workshop the men are interested in, they are welcome to come along. The main thing is networking and learning from each other. You can share ideas as we are often in similar situations. “For example, you might get chatting to someone who uses the same accounting program, so next time you get stuck with something, you can call on them for help.” In the next 12 months, Leanne plans to organise workshops about grain marketing, agronomy, communication and resilience. To be added to the group mailing list, email wotl.yp@gmail.com.

ADvERTISING PRomoTIoN

EASTS IN A CLAAS OF THEIR OWN Introducing the Claas Harvest Centre (SA) THE 2019 Yorke Peninsula Field Days is the ideal platform for local machinery company, G. & J. East to announce its latest venture — Claas Harvest Centre (SA). The project involves expanding G. & J. East’s already-successful relationship with the Claas product line distributor for Australia, Landpower Australia, to include a broader range of products and a greater area of responsibility, across the whole state. G. & J. East has been successfully selling, supporting and servicing the German-built Claas Lexion range of combine harvesters and Amazone spreaders from its Kadina-based dealership for the past 20-odd years. The opportunity has arisen for Easts to promote the Claas range of combines, balers, forage harvesters, tractors, mowers, rakes, tedders, silage wagons and telehandlers, along with a broader range of Amazone spreaders, sprayers and tillage equipment, throughout the wider agricultural areas of South Australia. To support this venture, G. & J. East will segregate dedicated sales and service personnel to focus only on these products, eventually culminating in the establishment of an independent sales and service entity, to be known as Claas Harvest Centre (SA), operating from within the existing G. & J. East facility at Kadina.

New approach means a better client experience East Farm Machinery Group director Mathew East said a change to the traditional model of agricultural machinery distribution had been needed. “The Claas Harvest Centre opportunity gives us the ability to test a new concept whilst maintaining our traditional G. & J. East dealership model,” he said. “Historically, farm machinery dealerships have needed to be strategically placed within each agricultural district of SA to give the local farmer client base the conﬁdence they can source and support their machinery in a timely way, thus giving them the best opportunity to maximise their returns

BEST IN CLAAS... G. & J. East dealer principal Colin Adams (third from left) with Claas Harvest Centre (SA) staff, dedicated to selling and servicing only Claas and Amazone products from within the existing G. & J. East premises in Kadina, Gary Kotz, Phil Rowntree, Tristan Chenoweth, Tom Errington and Kurt Dorahy. from their primary production. “My concern has been that with a declining customer base, already having to travel further and further to get the support that they need, this traditional model will not be sustainable into the future. “It has been seen on many occasions throughout history, the farm machinery dealership(s) within regional towns have disappeared and clients have had to look further afield for their machinery support. “It is now very difficult to justify setting up new dealerships, most of which need 20-odd quality staff members, across the sales, service, parts and administrative functions of the dealership and a multi-million dollar capital investment, in areas where the dealership is having to draw customers from 250 or 300 kilometres away to create enough clients to keep the business viable. “We believe the model we are setting up with at Claas Harvest Centre (SA) is viable and will not be to the detriment of our customers in any way — in fact, it should prove to be a change that gives the client a better experience, right from the product enquiry stage through the equipment purchase to the after-sales service and parts support of that machine.”

Claas-leading team appointed A dedicated team will work at the Claas Harvest Centre (SA) to give customers the best possible experience, Mr East said. “Whilst still working out of the G. & J. East premises at Kadina, our Claas Harvest Centre (SA) staﬀ will be only selling and servicing the Claas and Amazone ranges of products,” he said. “Phil Rowntree has taken on the challenge of being the sales manager for Claas Harvest Centre (SA) with Gary Kotz being the other salesperson. “Tristan Chenoweth will head up the after-sales team with the support of Tom Errington, Kurt Dorahy and the rest of the G. & J. East service team. “The spare parts and administrative roles will remain dealership roles, as they have traditionally been within G. & J. East. “These numbers will grow as the amount of Claas and Amazone products being utilised within SA increases. “Colin Adams will remain as dealer principal, in charge of the function of Claas Harvest Centre (SA) and the traditional G. & J. East business.”

Individualised customer service Claas Harvest Centre (SA)’s point of diﬀerence, aside from the quality product range oﬀered, will be in its ability and determination to create an

... PAGE 35 ...

individual customer-to-dealership interaction for each client. “Obviously, we will need to prove we can service and support your Claas and Amazone machinery in a more professional and timely manner than you have been accustomed to,” Mr East said. “To this end, we will be needing to individualise agreements with each customer in relation to cost, delivery and expectations. “Connecting with the client is critical. “We will have a signiﬁcant cost base advantage over most dealers by not having to invest heavily in a dealership at each major centre. “We will utilise some of the money saved to connect with potential clients and individualise a business plan for them in regard to supporting their farm machinery.” The G. & J. East dealership will be remodelled to allow for the two separate entities to function within its existing four walls, in a similar way to how major car and truck distributors operate in capital cities. Please visit G. & J. East’s traditional site, site number 557 on Alford West Road, to discuss this concept further with Phil, Gary, Colin or Mathew or, more importantly, to look over the expanded range of Claas and Amazone machinery on display.

Rostrevor brings out the best in all

STUDENT SUCCESS… Rostrevor College principal Brian Schumacher with 2018 AFL draftees Jacob Kennerly, Luke Valente and Ben Jarvis, and 2019 AFL draft hopeful Cameron Taheny.

WHETHER preparing young men for the jobs of the future or helping them achieve their sporting and musical goals, Rostrevor College has proven results in bringing out the best in every student. Renowned for both its academic prowess and sporting achievement, almost one third of Rostrevor’s graduates attained an ATAR exceeding 90 last year, while six students have been recruited by an AFL club in the past two years. Rostrevor College principal Brian Schumacher said he is looking forward to speaking to families considering their boarding options at the Yorke Peninsula Field Days. He said it has been pleasing to welcome a growing number of regional and rural families to Rostrevor in recent times in response to academic, sporting and musical successes and the tight-knit college community. “Rostrevor is a prestigious and high-achieving college that gives families aﬀordable access to a personalised and modern education driven by exceptional teachers,” Mr Schumacher said. “At Rostrevor, we understand boys and how they learn. “I am often impressed by the number of students who excel in multiple academic, sporting and musical pursuits, which tells me that our boys thrive on a varied diet of study, sport and creativity.” The college has a state-of-the-art music suite with its own recording studio and work has just started on a new agriculture centre. Rostrevor parent Michael Wakelin, who has three sons at the school, said he has seen his boys develop great friendships and good grades. “The boys love the grounds and their sport and, academically, they have come ahead in leaps and bounds,” Mr Wakelin said. “The teachers give them plenty of support, but they are also straight to the point in terms of what they expect.” Mr Schumacher will be joined by head of boarding Eugene Evans and enrolments oﬃcer Annemarie Mein at the Rostrevor College stand in the Hoecker 2 Pavilion.

Reducing barley head loss RESEARCH has generated findings and genetic material which could help produce future barley varieties that are less susceptible to head loss — an issue significantly reducing barley crop yields in some areas and seasons. The work has also highlighted the importance of growers comparing the risk for different varieties and ensuring barley crops at critical growth stages have adequate access to potassium and copper, as crops deficient in these nutrients were found to be much more prone to the issue. Barley crops in areas such South Australia’s Yorke and lower Eyre Peninsulas are especially susceptible to head loss, which is caused by straw under the head breaking and results in in yield losses of five to nine per cent in typical seasons in these areas.

The research ﬁndings are from a project led by Western Barley Genetics Alliance director Chengdao Li with Grains Research and Development Corporation investment. This collaborative project involved work by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development Western Australia, Murdoch University and the University of Adelaide. Professor Li said the laboratory work and ﬁeld trials at Esperance, Katanning and Geraldton had revealed information and developed advanced breeding lines, new germplasm and molecular markers which had the potential to be used in breeding programs. “Our research suggests barley varieties will be less susceptible to head loss if the barley peduncle (the straw beneath the barley head) is bred to have greater

flexibility and strength,” he said. “A significant finding from this project is the relationship between straw strength and straw flexibility, and some varieties are significantly more flexible and are less prone to breakage. “We identified quantitative trait loci associated with straw strength on three chromosomes and these could be used as selection targets by barley breeders.” Professor Li said seasonal conditions were shown to have a significant effect on straw strength, with some varieties demonstrating a notable variation in straw strength in different years of the trials. He said the head loss risk of barley varieties varied significantly and several high yielding, new varieties and advanced breeding lines had an even greater head loss risk than current

susceptible varieties. “The research also demonstrated that varieties respond differently to low levels of potassium, suggesting genetically improving potassium use efficiency in barley varieties will not only enhance yields and reduce the need for fertiliser, but also improve straw strength and reduce head loss,” he said. Professor Li said the project showed the same variety sown at the same trial could have head loss levels up to two to three times greater if copper and potassium were deficient during the stem elongation and head formation stage of the crop. “This shows the importance of providing adequate levels of these nutrients, particularly during this growth stage,” he said.

What’s happening with the weather?

WEATHER MAN... AV Weather's Anthony Violi makes long-range weather forecasts.

IF you stop for a chat with someone at this year's field days, one topic which is sure to come up is the weather. The question on everyone's lips is, when's it going to rain? Of course, there are never any guarantees but AV Weather's Anthony Violi has offered some predictions. "My forecast of a weak negative Indian Ocean Dipole for spring and a weak La Niña for the end of the year are both on track," he said. "However, recent roadblocks have developed in the form of volcanic eruptions which have massive implications for weather in Australia. "The first response is to slow down trade winds in the Pacific Ocean which causes waters along the equator to warm meaning La Niñas fail to develop. "The second effect is much more positive. Eruptions can cool down the globe, keeping the Antarctic oscillation in its negative phase and

allowing cold fronts and upper troughs to move higher over southern Australia. "After the 1991 Mt Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines, 1992 was a very wet year in the southern half of the country. "For South Australia this spring, the most important factor now is the Indian Ocean. We currently see the pattern starting to push towards a negative IOD. "During August, temperatures in Western Australia reached 30 degrees and this heat this early will mean lower pressure will start to develop due to the rising air and upward motion of the atmosphere. "This in turn will drag moisture in from the Northern Hemisphere, warming waters north-west of Australia to produce the negative IOD. But it's unlikely at this point to be very strong. "Risks to the forecasts are more

volcanic eruptions; another major one will most likely kill oﬀ a late La Niña for the end of the year and, if that were to occur, a dry and hot summer would again be more than likely. "Spring rains inland will be crucial for the agricultural sector, but also to mitigate against the risk of heatwaves during summer. "In summary, my forecast for the southern agricultural areas is a favourable spring outlook, average at least, and a wet November again likely. "The northern agricultural areas are a bit more marginal, as any break in the upper pattern of colder air will result in conditions becoming drier. "The best-case scenario is, if the Antarctic oscillation stays heavily negative through spring, then the IOD forecast will become irrelevant for South Australia and we will see numerous cold fronts bring muchneeded rain for agricultural areas."

Part-time and online study options also available at TAFE SA

ONLINE… Karen Petney is enrolled in TAFE SA’s Diploma of Leadership and Management, and has studied both on-campus and online.

JUGGLING work and family commitments or living a long way from the city shouldn’t be a barrier to further study. TAFE SA has a range of courses available online and offers the flexibility of part-time study for those trying to upskill or improve their career options, formalise experience gained on the job or to further an interest. Mature-age student Karen Petney saw the chance to earn a formal qualification when she changed jobs and gained a few hours in her busy schedule. “I’ve never had a formal qualification, but I’ve got 25 years of work experience, including leadership roles, and I just thought, it’s now or never,” Karen said. “The study options at TAFE fit well with my already-busy life, giving me the option of doing one or two subjects at a time so I can work it around my other commitments.” Karen, of Kapunda, is used to multi-tasking. She’s mum to four boys — one son and three stepsons aged between 18 and 22, runs two small businesses with her husband, and works as a project and communications coordinator. “I spent five years as the general manager of a small luxury resort

and when that finished, I decided to start studying,” she said. In 2017, she enrolled in the Diploma of Leadership and Management and has been studying two or three subjects each semester. “A lot of what I’ve learned I was already doing but I didn’t know what it was called or how to develop my skills or take the next step,” Karen said. “The study has added real depth to my experience.” Until now, she’s managed to study on-campus, driving into Adelaide for classes, and she said she’s enjoyed mixing with students of all ages and experience levels. For her final four subjects, Karen is changing to online study because the on-campus timetable doesn’t suit her work and business commitments. “It’s more convenient at this stage and everyone is just an email away,” she said. “The lecturers are really responsive when you email them to ask questions.” Karen’s advice to other people thinking about study is to “go for it”. “You can start with one subject a semester and online study is perfect for regional people,” she said.

A lesson in bringing home the bacon

MAKING MONEY... Eloise Johns, 5, and her brother Blake, 7, are learning about farming and finances.

BLAKE and Eloise Johns, aged 7 and 5, are being given a lesson in bringing home the bacon. Continuing the tradition their grandpa Wayne started with their dad Stewart, Blake and Eloise are responsible for breeding pigs and lambs on their farm at Alford. They get to keep any money they make after they take out expenses for feed, et cetera. “The kids were interested in where money comes from and Stewart used to get money for looking after the lambs when he was a kid,” mum Bridget said. “It shows them that money doesn’t grow on trees, they have to work hard to earn it.” This is the third lot of pigs and second lot of lambs the kids have bred but they haven’t seen too much money yet. “We bought the first pigs then the money went back into purchasing the lambs,” Stewart said. “They will feed them up for about three months then will sell the pigs to locals and take the sheep to market.” Blake said he has to feed the animals each

night after school but it will be worth it when he reaches his savings goal to buy a Gator. “Sometimes it’s a real chore for them to go out and feed the animals, especially when it is cold and wet, but that’s life,” Stewart said. “It gets them outside the house and is an activity we do together on weekends.” Stewart started feedlotting lambs about six years ago. He has had about 3000 animals go through the books this year. “It’s putting back into the farm and giving us an alternative source of income besides just cropping,” Stewart said. “I really enjoy working with livestock and you don’t have to worry about rain! “You can look after them, feed them and give them water, so you are much more in control.” Stewart said it has been a profitable year for sheep but prices have now started to come back. “It’s crazy what sheep have been making this year, even people who have been in the industry forever, it’s like nothing they have ever seen,” he said. “We made a top of $320 which was fantastic.”

CHORES... Blake Johns feeds the pigs daily, part of a lesson in working to make a living.

“Succession is similar to a journey or a trip. We have a basic idea of where we want to go but a vague understanding of where to start.” This is where Rural Generations can help you! Rural Generations is a family-owned business based in Mid North SA, and is managed by husband and wife team John and Sandra White. John, who has a passion for farming and supporting farming families, has previously been a Financial Planner and Rural Financial Counsellor. They are still involved in the family farming operation which is managed and worked by son David and his wife Chrissy. John saw a need in the industry and that’s how Rural Generations emerged. Rural Generations oﬀers succession planning, aged care and pension information to farmers, graziers and pastoralists. Although based in Clare, John visits most areas of South Australia as well as regular visits to Queensland and New South Wales. Rural Generations provides clients with a comprehensive personal report which includes: • Succession planning options including any government beneﬁts plus Farm Household Allowance • Business plans focusing on current and future needs (eg. is enough money coming in to support another family?) • Pension and aged care considerations • Understanding how farm and non-farm assets might be distributed if conditions of ‘wills’ are exercised • Information and support going forward

Whilst succession is an important part in farm planning, John recognises retiring farmers may not always want to access a pension or be overly concerned about aged care costs. Nevertheless, he sees a lot of distress in his travels with people having difficulty in knowing the criteria for a pension but are shocked about aged care costs. As a result, financial pressure can impact farm finances where several families might require a living, so John, a farmer himself, loves to go in to try and help his clients. “Centrelink provides valuable income and other support. Guidelines are available to assist farming businesses.” As a farmer working for farmers and knowing what is involved, it is absolutely critical to be aware of the guidelines for not only Centrelink pensions, FHA (Farm Household Allowance) but also aged care and know about the impacts on farm families. “However, no matter how good the succession plan is, it can sometimes unfold badly if the conditions within repective wills do not match future plans.” A few hours conversation will not cost much compared to loss of potential benefits plus discontent which may lead to legal disputes. Good outcomes are critical. Trying to do this yourself takes a lot of time and often frustration! Quite often it is simply just put off.

Clubhouse under construction THE recent, soaking rains across the peninsula have had a noted eďŹ&#x20AC;ect on life throughout the region, with the sight of waves of lush green paddocks putting a spring into the steps of local farmers, families, businesses and townships. This long-anticipated and warmly-welcomed burst of growth is being reďŹ&#x201A;ected beyond the ďŹ&#x201A;ourishing paddocks of the next wheat harvest. This being the case, quite a few attendees to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yorke Peninsula Field Days would be interested in a particularly productive block of land thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been getting some special attention at Moonta Bay Lifestyle Estate recently. This will be especially of interest to everyone on the land, across Yorke Peninsula and the wider South Australian rural communities, who may ďŹ nally be able to think seriously about handing the family farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reins to the kids and retiring to the coast. The peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest coastal over 50s living community, Moonta Bay Lifestyle Estate, has one particular allotment in the process of coming up with the goods.

With the slab down and set, the Moonta Bay Lifestyle Estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new clubhouse is under construction and on the way up! Soon the new community hub will be home to a gym, bar, barbecue, games area, entertainment room and cosy ďŹ replace for all the estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents. The next stage of allotments at Moonta Bay Lifestyle Estate is ready for new, aďŹ&#x20AC;ordable homes to be built. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, the sites are generously sized for home buyers who own a boat or caravan, or just want to enjoy extra space in the backyard to make their own. As Moonta Bay Lifestyle Estate continues to grow, new residents will be surrounded by like-minded, coast-loving over 50s neighbours who enjoy the company and support of each other in the new gated community. Any interested ďŹ eld days attendees are encouraged to call Sue on 8825 3716 to take a look at Moonta Bay Lifestyle Estate, entry via Willard Street, Moonta Bay, from Sunday to Thursday between 11am and 3pm.

WITH ever-changing technological advancements and consumer demands, Gason has made some new additions to its well-established line-up of agricultural machinery. The newest addition to the Gason tillage line-up is the NT8000 narrow transport planter bar. As the name suggests, this bar was designed for ease of use when manoeuvring through gates, winding roads and other hard-to-access areas. Measuring with a 3.5-metre folded transport width and eight-metre working width, the NT8000 meets Australian road transport requirements, giving it the ability to be transported without a pilot vehicle. Gason has also released a 6’ version of its twin rotor rapier vineyard mower, which is designed to mow the full width of a 2.4m-plus vine row with tractor power requirements upwards of 45hp (33kW). There has already been a high demand for the vineyard rapier, with a large quantity being shipped to New Zealand for Drummond and Etheridge. Gason currently manufactures mowers and slashers in varying sizes from 6’ VHD to 41’ cropper topper. Alongside agricultural machinery, Gason also owns and manufactures Jindara and Eureka wood heaters, and has a multitude of sub-contract customers. There are some new and exciting developments happening this year at Gason’s eight-acre Ararat facility, with the commitment to purchase further laser cutting machinery and a Stopa storage system. These innovative and technologically-advanced machines, housed in a new, custom-designed and built facility, will not only increase capacity for production and shorten build times, but also oﬀer exciting employment opportunities and the ability for the business to manoeuvre conﬁdently in an ever-increasingly competitive industry sector.

Probe into weather and soil In this day and age, relying on the weather forecast and rain gauge isn’t enough to make big farming decisions which could mean a difference of thousands of dollars. This has led to a greater interest in on-farm weather stations and soil moisture probes which can provide much more detailed information to help with risk-management decisions. Local agronomist Leighton Wilksch has installed weather stations across South Australia and Victoria, and now has around 350 monitoring sites. He said it is important to access real-time information. “The data is used to assist with logistics regarding remote farm management, understanding where rain has fallen for example; application of crop protection products, understanding what wind conditions are like; frost severity impacts on crops; or at harvest time by displaying the fire danger risk,” he said. “We are seeing increased requirements to have local weather data logged for cropping procedures such as spray application and harvesting. “This is for liability coverage as well as insurance against fire risk. “There are more insurance companies

requiring harvest fire danger index to be recorded so that best management practice is followed on high-risk days during summer.” Recently, Leet’s business Agbyte has received a SA Fire and Emergency Services grant and funding through the national Disaster Resilience Program to install weather stations across SA to provide fire danger risk and other weather-related information to communities. When it comes to soil moisture probes, growers gain important information about the soil moisture profile below the surface. “The soil probes sense the area around the site and the data is then displayed as graphs,” Leet explained. “These graphs help understand any residual moisture left over from the previous year’s crop, how deep summer and autumn rainfall has infiltrated before planting, where roots are active and extracting moisture from during the growing season, how much moisture in left in the ‘tank’ to allow for grain to fill in the ripening crop. “This helps farmers make decisions about when and what to plant, nutrition application to feed the growing crop, and yield potential during spring which can help with grain-marketing decisions.”

MONITORING... Local agronomist Leet Wilksch believes soil moisture probes can give useful information to help farmers with risk management decisions.

Changing schools, and homes, has been an unbelievable experience and i feel like i have grown so much in the process. i was very nervous at the thought of going to boarding school, but being a boarder has given me amazing opportunities and lifelong friendships. When i ﬁrst started, Grace Heaslip, 2018 head boarder, and many other girls and staﬀ checked in with me regularly which helped me to settle in. Having girls smiling from across the dining hall or saying hello in passing meant that i always felt part of a caring community. One of the main reasons i chose Seymour was the incredible grounds. The greenery and amount of space really remind me of home and i feel lucky that it’s on my

doorstep here. Being so close to the sporting fields allows me to get involved in more co-curricular activities. i play netball and, since starting at Seymour, have also started playing football which is very popular amongst the girls and i’m really enjoying it. i arrived at Seymour with an interest in art and was surprised at how many opportunities were waiting for me here. i am now studying art and design and iB film which has opened my eyes to future career options and i’m grateful for this. The boarding house staff offer a lot of support and have helped me to become more efficient with my studies, which allows me to do my best. The activities we get to do on the weekend are amazing. For anyone considering boarding school, i would suggest that you come and do a tour or a sleepover in the Seymour Boarding House. it is full of opportunities and awesome girls and teachers who will support you along the way.

BOARDER… Kadina’s Hilary Daniel feels at home in the Seymour Boarding House.

Applying phosphorus a balancing act IN this day and age, farming is so much more than planting some seed in the ground, praying for rain, then watching the crops grow. There are many technical aspects which are ever evolving. One of those aspects which is currently receiving a lot of research focus is soil pH and the application of phosphorus (P) to improve profitability. Local agronomist Sam Trengove has set up a P trial in two paddocks at Bute and Koolunga and is already seeing interesting results. “Basically, we are getting different responses to phosphorus across the paddocks in the trials we have set up,” he said. “Based on data related to soil pH and historical crop growth, we have been applying different rates of P within one paddock. “We won’t know for sure until harvest of course, but we are already seeing an impact

from applying a variable P rate.” Sam said the overall aim of the trial is to determine the best way of using data and optimising P to neutralise the soil across a variable paddock and therefore improving yield and profitability. “Data layers include yield, soil pH, historical NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index) and soil electrical conductivity,” he said. “We can integrate this information to improve calculation of optimum P rates spread across spatially variable paddocks. “Hopefully, this will then increase profitability derived from P fertiliser application.” The two-year trial has been funded by the SA Grains Industry Trust and there will be two new focus paddocks next year. “It’s important we spread the trial across a variety of soils with alkaline, acid and neutral pH,” Sam said. “We can then better calculate P rates to

match soil types and crop needs. “In some places, farmers are putting on too much P, and in some places not enough. “Mostly, they apply a uniform rate across the whole paddock. “They could save money by applying less P or increase yield by applying more P. “Where there’s soil acidity at play, there are certainly things farmers can do to improve crop performance.”

“Where there’s soil acidity at play, there are certainly things farmers can do to improve crop performance.” – Sam Trengove

THINKING one of the most experienced ECU (electronic control unit) tuning companies in Australia is only involved with tuning agricultural engines would be a big mistake. “Agri Tune Australia has an ongoing research and development program operating in five countries,” a spokesperson said. “We bring the very latest in technical expertise in tuning and have developed many world firsts, including the first Toyota OBD flash tunes at a time when many thought it impossible.” Agri Tune Australia began working on large harvesting machines in the cane fields in Queensland some 10 years ago. “We immediately raised eyebrows with the amazing results we were able to achieve with harvesters, saving as much as 500 litres of fuel a day,” the spokesperson said. “Growing from this positive feedback we have gone from strength to strength and have now completed more than 17,000 software remaps, covering a wide range of engines from motorbikes to mining equipment. “Not only is Agri Tune able to provide power solutions with our customised software made for each engine, we are also able to gain fuel and ground-speed efficiency savings in the agricultural sector. “Additionally, we are providing fuel savings and reduced operating temperatures in the trucking sector, fuel and efficiency gains for the mining sector, and in the car and ute market it’s about plenty of power and torque, better towing and drivability. “Agri Tune Australia is your go-to tuner for the vast majority of ECU-controlled engines in the market. “We have dealers around the country, most of which are mobile and can come to you to make the experience that bit easier.” For more information, visit www.agritune.com.au or search Agri Tune Australia on Facebook.

Easy Hitch making farm life easier THE Easy Hitch is designed and manufactured in Mundoora, South Australia, by father and son Ivan and Shaun Arbon. It was designed to make farm life easier and less stressful during the busy harvest period when moving field bins and augers. The electric-powered winch makes it easy for one person to move the bins. No more back injuries! “We have sold hundreds over the years right across Australia,” Ivan and Shaun said. “Many of our happy customers are thrilled that either wives and/or teenagers can easily go shift bins safely without them having to stop harvesting or driving the truck to go and help manually lift and hook up the field bin. “One happy female customer said, ‘This is the best invention ever. It means I am more than capable of moving bins and augers on our farm. It saves time and has definitely saved back strains.’ “This year will be our fifth Yorke Peninsula Field Days and over the

years we have continued to refine and improve this great product to keep up with the needs of farmers right across Australia. “Field bins and other equipment such as augers have become bigger and heavier, so this year we have created a new heavy-duty model. “The new model has a 4500lb powered winch to make moving these heavier items faster. “This new product will be available for the first time at this year’s field days, so come and see us at Site 644 Moonta Road for a demonstration. “We will have some great field days specials available. “The Easy Hitch can be posted Australia-wide, so if you have farming friends interstate who will not be attending the field days but might be interested in an Easy Hitch please tell them to get in contact with us!” For more information, visit www.hitchesandmore.com.au, search Easy Hitch on Facebook, email hitchesandmore1@gmail.com or call 0427 353 053.

DID you know lead-acid batteries die prematurely due to sulphation build up? You can sustain their life through a treatment which dissolves the lead sulphate build up, turning those sulphur ions back into sulphuric acid-holding electrons. “We are chemically reversing the sulphation process, one chemical reaction to counter another, maximising battery charge-holding capacity and preventing premature battery failure,” Gerard Anselmi from Recharge Battery Conditioner said. “The key is to get in early before the damage has been done.” Mr Anselmi said dead batteries are dead; forget about them and focus on your good batteries because they will often go for 10 years or more if you look after them. “Treat batteries early, repeat every two years and keep them charged, it is so simple,” he said. “Don’t wait till they die and try to resurrect the dead because after the plates have been damaged, it is too late. “Don’t waste your time and money on dead batteries, treat all your good working batteries and double their life.” For more information, visit www.recharge.net.nz or drop into the Recharge Battery Conditioner site at the YP Field Days.

CFS spreading bushfire safety message THE South Australian Country Fire Service has held an exhibit at the Yorke Peninsula Field Days for many years to provide information about helping people stay safe during bushfire season. This year, the exhibit has the theme Why Risk It? and will feature lots of interactive activities, especially for families and children. “The SA CFS display will have a variety of people on hand all day every day available for one-on-one discussions,” Region 2 community engagement officer Annie Pomeroy said. “We will be ready to discuss your safety during the bushfire season, including how to understand our warnings and stay informed during summer. “We will again run our popular stovetop fire demonstration for people to learn how to safely extinguish a cooking fire, and a few lucky audience members will receive a free fire blanket

for their kitchen. “Smokey will make special appearances throughout the day, providing photo opportunities, high fives and hugs on request! “We will have a kids’ corner with activity books to keep young children entertained with Smokey activities while you talk to our wonderful CFS people. “To assist with spreading our important Why Risk It? message, Animal Capers will bring a variety of different animals to the site every day. “There is no admission fee for any of our activities, you can look at the animals and take home lots of information. “All it will cost is your time and willingness to learn more about your bushfire risk and safety during summer. “You can also enter into a free draw to win an emergency kit.” The Why Risk It? theme focuses on being safe whilst enjoying leisure and

lifestyle activities at home and further afield during bushfire season. “South Australians are extremely fortunate to have a wonderful lifestyle where we can enjoy a wide variety of activities during the summer months, but many homes and recreational hotspots are also in high-risk areas for bushfire, so Why Risk It?” Annie said. “Barbecues, camping, campfires, cycling, mowing and slashing, plus welding and grinding, will be covered as well as how to prepare your pets and other animals for bushfire season. “We will provide advice, ideas and planning tools so all South Australians can enjoy summer without putting ourselves or others at risk.” Annie said it is important for the CFS to have a presence at the field days, to share important messages and acknowledge the work of local volunteers. “We all know the valuable and

wonderful work our CFS volunteers do fighting fires each summer but we also need to remind members of the public they can take important steps to reduce the threat or even prevent fires occurring,” she said. “Agricultural field days are an important event in the rural community calendar, with large numbers of people from high bushfire risk areas attending. “This makes the YP Field Days a very important opportunity for us to talk to people firsthand, face-to-face and keep them up to date with our bushfire safety messages.”

ENGAGING… Smokey the CFS koala with Region 2 community engagement oﬃcer Annie Pomeroy at the Kadina Show. They will be at the ﬁeld days with lots of interactive activities for visitors.

Sharing knowledge about Northern Sustainable Soils

PRESIDENT... Bute’s James Venning is the president of the Northern Sustainable Soils group.

Make sure e your snags are the only thing you burn…

FARMING is forever faced with challenges, including how to deal with varying soil types. Northern Sustainable Soils is a not-for-profit group formed in 2007 to facilitate research and development for dealing with the variable dune/swale soil types in the northern Yorke Peninsula. “We are faced with erosion and degradation issues, areas of poor production performance and hostile subsoils,” publicity officer Leighton “Leet” Wilksch said. “The trial and demonstration work conducted in the area assists growers in understanding what is driving the variation we see in yield and production, and also provide some solutions.” The group has 50 members and is led by Bute’s James Venning as president. “I have been a member of the group for the past five years but this is my first time on the committee,” James said. “The biggest benefit is getting together with a group of like-minded farmers. “If you attend the crop walks it’s because you are interested in what is being spoken about and you want to find out information

which might help you to improve your farming practice. “It’s a great chance to talk about what’s working on our farms, what’s not, and to share knowledge and ideas.” The group usually has three crop walks every year — one in summer, winter and spring. Members are invited to look at the trials and hear from guest speakers about a variety of issues. “The winter walk this year focused on acidic soils and soil pH in general,” James said. “We are trying to increase the pH in soils but also focus on what happens when the pH is too high and ties up nutrients. “Another guest speaker was Jenna Garwood from the National Residue Survey in Canberra. “She spoke about how, these days, people are so much more concerned about food safety and want to know what chemicals are sprayed on the grain and what’s detectable. “As farmers, we need to be aware of what we are putting on our crops.” The NSS group always welcomes new members. For more information, contact Leet on 0408 428 714.

PAC understands boys’ education AT Prince Alfred College, staff help boys to work hard, be kind and challenge themselves and their mates to be the best they can be. “We also expect boys to make mistakes and to learn from them,” a spokesperson said. “This consumes the time, skill and energy of our team of committed staff who really understand boys’ education. “Boys don’t learn in exactly the same way as girls. “If you have both boys and girls at home, you will already know this. “Our staff understand this too, so our teaching approach and academic programs are carefully designed to stimulate boys’ imagination, creativity, interests and talents. “We help boys to develop a love of learning and to engage in respectful and informed debates about issues outside of the classroom. “Prospective parents who visit our school often ask, can a boys-only education prepare their son for life?’

“The answer is yes. “Respect is at the centre of all lasting and valuable relationships and is a core value for us. “Our wellbeing programs encourage and help our boys to be conﬁdent, kind and empathetic so they can build respectful relationships at school and beyond. “We have been a boys-only school for 150 years. “Our programs inside and outside of the classroom, such as our immersive outdoor education program at Wambana, our long-stay campus at Point Turton, are based on deep evidence and experience about how boys learn and grow. “Parents want a school for their son that understands him and a culture that aligns with their family values. “We work with our families to help their sons know who they are, be kind to themselves and to others, appreciate the value of working hard, and to be caring and active citizens of the world.”

FUTURE… Prince Alfred College carefully designs its academic programs to stimulate boys’ imagination, creativity, interests and talents.

Soil Management Systems at the cutting edge

AWARDS NIGHT… Soil Management Systems managing director Brenton Byerlee with the award for Cutting Edge Agronomy and award sponsor Grant Kelson.

... PAGE 81 ...

SOIL Management Systems, based in Orroroo, was honoured to win the award for Cutting Edge Agronomy at the recent four-day Carbon Cocky Conference in Albury, New South Wales. More than 400 farmers from around Australia attended the conference, which emphasised the importance of organic carbon in soils. It also highlighted the fact farmers can be paid under the Carbon Sequestration in Soils Scheme for building carbon in their soils. Managing director Brenton Byerlee presented to the conference about subtle soil degradation. “The award recognises our expertise and commitment to helping farmers better understand their soils,” he said. “Soils are designed to be a diverse hive of activity of soil organisms which are working on our behalf. “Aside from increasing water-holding capacity, mineralisation of nutrients to crops and pastures increases the eﬃciency of fertiliser applications. “Plants are more resilient and less susceptible to attacks from diseases and insects. “Soil Management Systems has been in business now for 24 years, operating in all forms of agriculture around Australia. “We receive much satisfaction from showing farmers through our comprehensive soil analysis — assessing where their soils are at and creating a program of bringing them back to life by balancing soil nutrients. “This is aided by our soil-friendly fertiliser products, including SMS Guano.” “Visit us at site 443, Cunliﬀe Road, where we can talk about your soils.”

and supervisors will all be there to assist our clients through the entire building process,” he said. Wahlstedt Quality Homes has built homes for a variety of purposes and in hundreds of different styles over the years. “We can build in timber or steel frame. We build everything including a lightweight holiday home, a small retirement home, a family home, two-storey home, or even commercial properties,” Gary said. “Building a home does involve making lots of choices but we guide you every step of the way. “It is so rewarding to see individual personalities shine through in the finished product and for people to be satisfied that we were able to bring their vision to life.” Gary and the team are looking forward to catching up with past, existing and new clients at the Yorke Peninsula Field Days. “If you can’t make the field days, give one of our building consultants a call and they can work through your ideas and help you see that you can afford a Wahlstedt Quality Home,” Gary said. “We want to make your dreams become reality.”

Correct treatment of grain in storage THE Grains Research and Development Corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grain Storage Extension Project team has developed a set of guidelines to help growers adhere to fumigation best practice. Correct treatment is imperative to ensure grain remains free of pests during on-farm storage and chemical residues are avoided. Grain storage expert Philip Burrill said implementing simple, standard measures will eliminate the risk of rejection of deliveries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and potential ďŹ nes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and will protect human and livestock health, as well as important grain markets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Correct fumigation of grain in storage is really non-negotiable,â&#x20AC;? Mr Burrill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not onerous for growers to implement best practice, yet the implications of poor practice can be extremely costly.â&#x20AC;? To control insects at all life stages,

the only option is to fumigate in a gastight storage. Cool grain temperatures require a longer fumigation period and aeration fans ďŹ tted on gas-tight silos provide a number of beneďŹ ts including a shorter ventilation period after a fumigation. The time required for eďŹ&#x20AC;ective fumigation ranges from 10 to 27 days, accounting for the minimum exposure period, ventilation and withholding period. This highlights the importance of monitoring grain regularly and at least 27 days before out-loading to allow suďŹ&#x192;cient time to fumigate if required. When determining how much phosphine to apply, it is important to treat the entire storage volume, regardless of how much grain is contained inside. For example, a 100-tonne silo full of grain requires 200 phosphine tablets. If that same 100t silo is only half full

of grain, it still requires 200 phosphine tablets for eďŹ&#x20AC;ective fumigation. Phosphine is a highly-toxic gas with potentially fatal consequences if handled incorrectly. As a minimum requirement, the label directs the use of cotton overalls buttoned at the neck and wrist, eye protection, elbow-length PVC gloves and a breathing respirator with combined dust and gas cartridge. Growers unclear of best practices and good procedures for on-farm fumigations should contact the GRDC Grain Storage Extension Project team on 1800 WEEVIL or attend a storage workshop.

Grain storage, the good Examples of good practices to reduce phosphine residue and therefore rejection of deliveries include: 1. Get in the habit of checking grain in storage each month for pests and quality. This eliminates the risk of nasty surprises when it comes time to outload grain for sale and being tempted to perform a poor, rushed fumigation. 2. Keep up-to-date monthly storage records of grain inspections, pests detected and grain treatments applied. 3. Have clear procedures, understood by all on the property, of how fumigation and venting is to be completed according to the label, the correct dose rates, and which silos can be used as they need to be gas-tight sealable. 4. Plan ahead for grain fumigations — allow 10 to 27 days for exposure plus ventilation plus withholding period depending on temperature and method as stated on the phosphine label.

And the bad

The following are examples of poor grain-storage practices: 1. Don’t fumigate in the truck — it is not gastight/sealable, it is diﬃcult to vent, it is illegal and dangerous to the operator and the public. 2. Do not mix tablets in with the grain — the tablet dust can be toxic to stock if grain is fed and, when grain is moved, tablet dust can release more phosphine gas. 3. Do not add water to tablets — it is dangerous and it also releases all the gas too quickly to be eﬀective against insects; plus, it is illegal.

Choosing the right chemistry for water hardness MANAGING HARD WATER... Vicchem technical services manager Peter Jones said it’s important farmers are matching their chemicals to the water hardness.

FOR robust results from summer knockdown herbicides — namely glyphosate — resellers and agronomists should ensure farmer clients choose the right chemistry for the water hardness, according to Vicchem technical services manager Peter Jones. “Australia’s own Vicchem is a leading research and development-based manufacturer which has developed a range of unique three-in-one spray adjuvants for summer knockdown weed control,” he said. “Trials show Hot-Up is ideal when using soft-to-moderate water such as town and most channel water, typically less than 300ppm of hard water ions. “Being oil based, Hot-Up prevents droplet breakdown in the hot and dry conditions of Australian summers. “For moderate-to-hard water from dams, open channels and bores, up to 750ppm, we recommend new spray adjuvant Outright 770, which delivers better adhesion and spread of glyphosate as well as water conditioning. “For very hard bore water or channel water, harder than 750ppm, glyphosate works best when tank mixed with Outright 770 and Assert.” Mr Jones has directed Vicchem’s adjuvant research program for more than 10 years. He has found hard water often contain calcium or magnesium ions which can interact with glyphosate to form insoluble complexes, rendering

it inactive. “However, hard water can be managed with Vicchem’s summer adjuvant range because the ammonium sulphate in Hot-Up, Outright 770 and Assert prevents this interaction, instead forming glyphosate-ammonium which is readily dissolved and absorbed,” he said. Mr Jones said the main source of hard water ions came from limestone leaching, which was common in Australian aquifers. Zinc and iron could also influence water hardness but were less common. “Many commercial laboratories offer water testing services which can quantify the range of minerals in a water sample,” he said. “Simple do-it-yourself test kits are also available which can provide a useful guide to water hardness within a few seconds. “Hard water can also affect the function of surfactants, leading to problems such as poor wetting, flocculation and nozzle blockage. “However, these problems are largely avoided if the right adjuvant chemistry is chosen for the level of water hardness.” Mr Jones said Vicchem would launch a campaign in rural Australia next month to promote its summer adjuvant range and the latest research on managing hard water. For more details, contact Mr Jones or Owen Connelly at Vicchem’s Coolaroo headquarters on (03) 9301 7000.

s students approach the senior High School years, many start to reflect upon their future pathway and if they are on track to reach their goals. This can particularly be the case for students in regional areas of South Australia, who perhaps might not have the same choices that are available in metro districts, and who may be looking for new opportunities that will allow them to follow their chosen direction. Eynesbury Senior College, in the heart of Adelaideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CBD, could be the answer.

Âľ%ULGJLQJÂś 6FKRRO DQG 8QLYHUVLW\ Catering for students in Years 10 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 12 and offering a part-time or full time Year 13 option for those who might need it, Eynesbury Senior College delivers a mature and flexible approach to learning within a safe and secure universitystyle environment. Sarah Hegarty, Marketing and Enrolments Manager, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eynesbury Senior College is like a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; between school and university. Students are treated as the young adults that they are and individuality is celebrated and respected. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no uniform, no bells, no â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sir and Missâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, no compulsory co-curricular distractions from learning. The timetable is

flexible and the days are extended, with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;free periodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for independent study and connection with our specialist teachers who have set time outside of the classroom dedicated to individual student support.â&#x20AC;? Whilst Eynesburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s model is very similar to that of a university - one where students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and use independent learning principles, including self-motivation, selfmanagement, self-evaluation and selfregulation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a safe and supportive space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students are given the freedom to take charge of their own learning, but with all the support, mentoring and help they might need,â&#x20AC;? Sarah says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students have all the opportunities of an independent learning environment but are given the guidance and skills to navigate it, and are fully supported - personally and academically - when they need.â&#x20AC;?

independent student accommodation within a modern, safe and secure apartment building. This approach to learning (and to living) enables students to develop the essential skills that are needed to navigate life beyond school and allows for a much easier transition from school to university. For students coming from regional areas, this can be particularly useful in reducing the stress around what can be a big change of culture and experience for many.

Make it a Midland Stockyard THE success of Midland Stockyards can be attributed to the extensive farming and yard design experience of founders Joe and Carol Forrest. Both are ex-farmers who have remained associated with the agricultural industry, even after their move to Perth from Hyden. They have experience in most areas of agriculture, including livestock, machinery development and manufacture. They released their sheep yard range five years ago. Midland Stockyard plans are based on a basic bugle design, with opportunities to adapt to individual requirements through an in-house design ability. “Our quality yards at ridiculous prices have drawn a huge amount of sales and enquiries,” Joe and Carol said. “We do not take this for granted, with great effort put into improvements and listening to our end users — farmers. “The modular design of the yard components allows for ease of transportation, erection, flexibility to swap panels for PA gates, marking panels, gates, double-fold gates, et cetera, as the panels are the same dimensions to assist in the efficiency in handling sheep, cattle and other livestock. “The choices available are portable, relocatable and permanent designs, depending on the requirements. “Our new pipe panels are sold in bundles of 10 and are in stock now. Another addition to our stocks is permanent posts to make the relocatable yards semi-permanent. “We have also introduced hay feeders, diamond sets, double-fold gates, marking panels and PA gates for cattle which are popular. “Midland Stockyards is excited to be attending the field days this year, and team members Paul, Scott and Jeremy will be there to help with your enquiries.”

For well-built sheds choose Sambec

WELL BUILT… This Sambec farm shed at Monarto featured in a national television campaign for Colorbond’s 50th anniversary.

SAMBEC Sheds is a family owned and operated business based in South Australia with more than 55 years’ building experience. Mick White started in the building industry way back in the 1950s with his father Jim who was also a builder putting up prefab houses in a week — amazing! Christopher, Mick’s youngest son, now runs Sambec alongside Mick as the third generation of proudly South Australian builders. People often ask, where does the name Sambec come from? Sambec is a combination of the first initials of Mick and his wife Bev and their children Suzanne, Angela/Allyson, Maxwell (Mick)/ Michael, Bev, Elizabeth and Christopher. Sambec specialises in farm, machinery and equipment sheds with larger-thanaverage bay sizes. The team has on-theground practical knowledge and solutions to meet any client requirements. Another little-known fact, but one Sambec should be

extremely proud of, is the use of the Sambec farm shed at Monarto for the Colorbond 50th anniversary national television campaign in 2016. Look for the enormous Manor Red hay shed with the boxers! It is a huge achievement for a regional business to be recognised at this level. Sambec takes the big picture approach to shed building, from listening to the client’s needs and wants, and putting those into a practical solution that will provide a quality shed within the client’s budget. Sambec, as a licensed builder, also provides the full construction option should the client need. Sambec has its own plant, equipment and machinery as well as experienced shed erectors on its team. Sambec travels throughout the state to erect sheds for clients and has been as far north as Yunta. A no-fuss company, Sambec provides excellent value-for-money buildings with quality products.
