FIRST TIME IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA!

Come and see the Croplands Equipment Kilter AX1 in action at two live demonstrations in Gingin and Wattleup.

The Kilter AX1 brings precision technology into the paddock, using targeted application to treat w**ds with incredible accuracy while helping reduce chemical use.

This is the first opportunity to see the Kilter AX1 demonstrated in WA — and a great chance to get up close, see how it performs in local conditions and chat directly with the team about where this technology could fit into vegetable production.

Whether you’re actively looking at precision w**d management or just curious about what’s coming next, come along and see the technology for yourself.
Two locations. Live in the paddock. First time in WA.

Out and about with industry
As part of the vegetablesWA Gingin Roadshow, David Daniels from AUSVEG and Dr Henry Tan from the WA Department of Health joined us for a series of farm visits, creating a great opportunity for practical conversations with growers about some of the issues affecting vegetable businesses.

During the farm visits, discussions covered a broad range of topics including soil health, industry project activities and useful business tools, as well as food safety and compliance requirements, grower registration and the role of local government. Conversations also explored chemical availability, storage and use, alongside greenhouse production and current pest and disease pressures facing growers.

A valuable day of conversations, bringing growers, industry and government together on-farm to discuss the practical challenges and opportunities facing WA vegetable businesses.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the VegetablesWA Gingin Roadshow last week a huge success!

A special thank you to our speakers for sharing their expertise, particularly those who travelled from the Eastern States to be with us. Your support of Western Australia's vegetable industry is greatly appreciated.

Finally, thank you to all those who attended, engaged in discussions, and contributed to a great day of learning and networking at the Gingin Sports Centre.

We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing the conversation throughout the season.
