Mini-Technical Workshops for Nut Growers Soil Moisture Assessment and Irrigation Decision-Making

Chestnut, Walnut and Hazelnut growers are invited to attend practical mini-technical workshops focused on soil moisture assessment and irrigation decisions. These small, orchard-based workshops will help growers better understand the active root zone, assess soil moisture in the field, and make more informed decisions about when to start irrigation. The focus will be on simple, practical and cost-effective ways to improve irrigation decisions.

Berry Practical 2026
Sept 17
Berry Practical 2026

Berry Practical is a new two-day event designed directly from grower feedback

It is focused on practical, on-farm learning that growers and farm staff can apply immediately. Through presentations, demonstrations, hands-on activities, and farm-related site visits, attendees will gain the knowledge and confidence to adapt new ideas to their own operations. Everyone who attends is guaranteed to learn something new, and the event will be particularly valuable for younger and less experienced growers, as well as farm businesses looking to upskill staff and introduce them to the broader berry industry.

Berry Practical will focus on action-oriented learning, including:

  • planning farm improvements and expansion

  • recognising and responding to pest incursions

  • improving irrigation, water and nutrient management

  • using farm data to support better business decisions

  • understanding biosecurity and nursery stock quality

  • exploring new options for integrated pest and disease management

  • learning directly from growers, consultants, suppliers and industry experts

July Seasonal Update with Ag Logic & TAS Farm Innovation Hub

What El Niño means for the coming Tasmanian season, and how you can plan ahead.

El Niño has officially been declared, even as parts of Tasmania received up to 80mm of rain in the same week. To help us better understand what El Niño actually means for Tasmania, last month we were joined by the Bureau of Meteorology to unpack the key climate drivers at play. This month, we’ll be joined by Pinion’s Jason Lynch to explore what these conditions mean for on-farm decision-making, and how producers can use this information to plan ahead.

Marek will also share his seasonal update from around the state.
