Lardner Park will host the Grassland Society of Southern Australia’s annual conference this year.
It will be the first in-person conference since 2019.
The three-day conference, from 12 July to 14 July, will follow the theme Sowing the Seeds for Success.
GSSA board chairwoman Meg Bell said the theme reflected the importance of grasslands to farming operations.
Ms Bell said the conference was a great opportunity for members to learn from each other and guest speakers.
“The online conferences have been great over the past two years, but members are keen to return to actual events,” Ms Bell said.
“The networking, the opportunity to ask questions of speakers in person and the ability to learn from other farmers and advisors can’t be beaten.”
About 250 people are expected to attend the conference, which was last held in Gippsland in 2008.
The conference will include a bus tour to local farms and sessions on what soil carbon means for your business, optimising pasture diversity and its benefit, and concurrent sessions on protecting and prioritising your pasture.
