The Mingenew Irwin Group held several practical and theory based training units from March 2019 to September 2021 aiming to improve the skills and understanding of early career land managers and farm employees. These workshops covered a range of topics including farm business management, agronomy, natural resource management and emerging technologies.
A total of eight workshops were held throughout this time, touching on each of these subjects. These topics utilised peer to peer learning from local producers and local experts for each relevant field. By delivering research results and learnings from our local area, participants received more applicable advice and skills to our environment, factoring local climate, soil types, issues and risks.
