Wilandra Farms near Sale has invested heavily in energy-saving measures, renewable energy, irrigation automation and an energy management system to significantly reduce their energy bills and carbon footprint. What they have learned has encouraged them to investigate other ways to reduce their farm emissions and look for ways to sequester carbon. A range of technology is used on the farm to reduce operating costs and improve outcomes for the farm and the natural environment.

​​​​​​This field day will allow delegates to listen to a range of speakers in the morning, followed by a farm visit in the afternoon.
