Our mega tent is always a popular stop at Dowerin Field Days. This year, at Dowerin on 24 and 25 August our collective will feature everything from cuddly animals through to community projects and agricultural innovations. We’d love to introduce you to some of our 2022 Friends In The Tent:
Landcare Farming
Australian farmers have a long and proud history of achieving exceptional landcare outcomes in environmental stewardship. The Landcare Farming Program vision is to continue this legacy and strengthen the connection between our farmers, the Australian agriculture stakeholders and to build resilience in a changing climate. Landcare Farming will be featuring their “My Landcare Legacy” campaign at Dowerin Field Days. The campaign is collecting over 250 photos of Australian producers and land managers to showcase their passion and landcare legacy. There’ll be an opportunity for Wheatbelt farmers so share their stories and snap a shot in the “My Legacy” selfie frame. Junior Landcarers will have the opportunity to take part in free activities and there is also the chance to win a great Landcare Farming prize pack.
LawrieCo
LawrieCo have a genuine passion for helping farmers. From creating hybrid farming systems and the harnessing the power of biological stimulants to create soil wealth to building soil carbon and growing more resilient crops, they have a strong focus on increasing sustainability into the future. The team from LawrieCo will be featuring products and information on their F75 coated MAP/DAP to stop phosphate lock-up in the soil. With a depot at Goomalling which supplies products prices locally, this display will be well worth a visit from Wheatbelt farmers and landholders.
