Decision-making to help farmers become more drought resilient
2025-06-17 10:00 - 13:00 | Standpipe Golf Motor Inn, 1 Daw St, Port Augusta, SA, Australia
Drought-resilient farming doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when farmers make informed, strategic decisions – early and often, supported by timely, relevant information from experts. But what are these decisions, what information do you need and when should they be made so you minimise the impact of drought and recover more quickly?
SA Drought Hub invites farmers, advisers and industry representatives to attend the Port Augusta pilot workshop for the SA Drought Hub DRINKS project. Presented by Cam Nicholson, this workshop will focus on strategic decision-making actions before, during & after drought for Pastoral and Rangelands Production.
The Drought Resilience Information and Knowledge Sharing (DRINKS) project is based on the model implemented by the Victoria Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub. Through DRINKS, the SA Drought Hub seeks to capture experiences from farmers from different farming systems, in different seasons, and use that knowledge to build the capacity of all farmers and stakeholders.
The aim is to develop enterprise-specific ‘base maps’ for key industries and regions in SA, that identify and describe the critical considerations farmers and advisers should focus on to build drought resilience. These considerations are based on the season and the stage in the climate cycle (good times, uncertain period, drought, and recovery).
This knowledge helps build a greater feeling of control and confidence that you are spending time on actions that will make a difference, both in the short and long term.
We invite farmers and advisers to join in a decision-making workshop with Cam Nicholson from the Victoria Drought Hub to build these ‘base maps’. By the end of the workshop you will have a plan identifying the main decisions and actions to focus on depending on seasonal conditions.
Spaces are limited – registration essential.

More 'Bang' for your Fertiliser Buck - Spreader Day
2025-06-27 09:00 - 15:30 | Furner Sports Club, Furner, SA, Australia
Did you know that the majority of fertiliser spreaders deliver highly variable spread patterns? This compromises production rates and farm profitability as some areas within the paddock receive too much fertiliser and others too little. Understanding your spreader pattern using different products can result in higher productivity and healthier waterways.
Join Australia’s leading Accu-Spread trainer, Russell Nichol, who will be sharing his knowledge and demonstrating how to test and calibrate fertiliser spreading equipment at this hands-on spreader demonstration day.

testing fertiliser spreading equipment for accuracy and evenness of spreading
demonstrating the variability and performance pre- and post-calibration
how to calibrate spreaders to maximise efficiencies,
the calibration process to allow a more even spread of fertiliser on the paddock
how to get the most from your spreader and
modifications that can be made to optimise performance

Registration is essential by 25 June 2025.

Kick Off Ya Boots
2025-06-27 18:00 - 20:00 | The Old Barn, Sedan, SA
‘Kick Off Ya Boots’ is a filmed version of the highly acclaimed theatre production performed at Loxton in 2024.
To the outside world, the Conners are the perfect farming family. Fifth generation farmer Jack, his devoted wife Jenna and two kids who want to come home onto the farm to continue to build the family legacy. That is, until you pull back the curtain and expose the truth of what is bubbling away just below the surface.
Despite Jenna’s enthusiasm to move off the farm to town, Jack “would be happy to be carried off the farm in a box”. While son Charlie is (in the words of Jack) “racking up expenses on the farm credit card while gallivanting across Europe” with his girlfriend Willow, daughter Zoey has come back onto the farm with an Ag degree but is struggling with where she fits in the farm’s future plans. Meanwhile Jack is ‘helping’ neighbour Harry’s bumbling attempts to woo Jenna’s friend Vicki.
It is seemingly the perfect farming family. Except for Zoey’s frustrations, Charlie’s restlessness, Jack’s narrow mindedness and Jenna just wanting everyone to always be happy.
A great event for the entire family and an opportunity to bring the community together. More information coming soon! Stay updated by following Little Town Productions on Facebook.
