Belinda is in Mildura today, helping facilitate the final workshop in a series for the Grains Research and Development Corporation Disease Management Extension Network project.

Designed to be intentionally interactive and engaging, these workshops start with a getting-to-know-you activity, with a twist! In Mildura, the team chose to make the most of the spring sunshine and start the day outside!

These interactive workshops, run by expert facilitator and consultant Bill Long Ag Consulting Co, have provided an opportunity for growers and agronomists to build knowledge and practical skills to make confident, long-term disease management decisions.

HUGE thank you to all the project partners: Department of Primary Industries and Regions Agriculture Victoria Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development FAR Australia Centre for Crop and Disease Management University of Southern Queensland - Australia Queensland Agriculture NSW Agriculture Marcroft Grains Pathology Adelaide University
