Automated irrigation demonstrations, the Inkerman Mill and the Tassal Prawn Farm in Bowen were all on the agenda when fourteen members of the Proserpine Young Farmers (PYF) group recently toured the Burdekin.
The group took the opportunity to share knowledge and compare regional operations and practices with Burdekin growers both young and old.
The young farmers got to see and hear about some of the automation technologies being used by a Burdekin grower and also two other systems located on Wilmar’s Stockham Road farm and Farmacist’s Research farm.
The group also got to see the diffuser set-up at Inkerman Mill and, on the final day, travelled to Tassal Prawn Farm.
After a tour of the hatchery, ponds and control centre, the growers ended the tour at the production building where Tassal were kind enough to provide a feed of prawns.
“It was really great to see another industry and how they operate,” one of the young farmers commented.
"The Proserpine Young Farmers tour to the Burdekin was organised by CANEGROWERS Proserpine with funding support from the Queensland Government."
