Dear all,

Gavan Lamb and myself are running the IRRIGATION COURSE again at Maffra.
         How does soil, water and plants interact.
         Best practice irrigation management to achieve high pasture
consumption.
         Flood irrigation systems, pros and cons, how to set up, and manage.
         Spray irrigation systems, pros and cons, how to set up, and manage.

A tensiometer is supplied free (worth more $200), on a long term loan, to
each participant to help monitor the soil moisture.

Three days course, plus a couple of on-farm days to see the best systems in
operation.
10 am to 2.30 pm
Wednesdays 10th, 24th and 31st MAY 2006
At Maffra DPI
Free (well, your taxes via good government programs are paying).
Sorry, bring your own lunch, but we supply cuppa.

Ring or email if interested.
Frank and Gavan.
