Irrigation season may seem a long way off, but it’s time to start planning.

It's August, and that means it's time to start thinking about getting your pivots ready for the season ahead.

Join us for a practical session on irrigation maintenance and performance. We'll cover:

• How to tell if your pivots are performing the way they should

• The maintenance checks worth doing now, before the pressure's on

• Common issues to look out for, and how to fix them before they cost you time or water

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.

Seasonal outlooks can be tricky to interpret, especially when El Niño headlines start doing the rounds.

Join us for this useful session where Marek will be joined by the Bureau of Meteorology’s Agriculture team, helping break down what the forecast means for Tasmania and on farm decision making.

A practical one to jump into if you are looking to cut through the noise and plan with a bit more confidence.
