The Rudall young farmers group met in December to commence prioritisation of subjects they would like to explore as a group. As a result, soils workshop with Mel Fraser is scheduled to take place on 14th March. Preliminary discussions with Far West young farmers commenced in January, with the group in the process of forming.
