Sub clover seed production – harvesting for the future webinar

Sub clover and annual medic seed harvesting is environmentally and socially challenging and relatively inefficient. Funded by AgriFutures Pasture Seeds Program, a multidisciplinary team from the University of Western Australia are exploring options to improve harvesting efficiency and reduce soil erosion. The team are developing engineering alternatives to traditional suction harvesting, modifications to current harvesters and development of agronomic and soil management packages.

Throughout the project the team have engaged growers to better understand the modifications they have made to their own equipment to increase efficiencies as a source of inspiration for the project.

Please join AgriFutures Australia and the project team on Thursday, 30 September at 1pm AEST for an online update.

When: September 30 at 1:00 pm (AEST), 12:30 pm (Central time), 11:00 am (Western time)
