A FIELD Day on Tuesday – ‘Managing the late break’ - was expecting attendance of about 40 farmers, but 350 showed up, an astonishing 775 per cent over the estimation.

The topic clearly had a high degree of relevance for farmers, with the extraordinarily dry autumn causing livestock producers significant stress in the run-up to lambing; the afternoon event was held at Richard and Sardie Edgar’s property, West Cuyuac at Nareen.
