WEBINAR | Growing good quality pine products on your farm
Date: Wednesday 6 December
Time: 1:00pm – 2:00pm (AEDT)
RFP CPD points: 1.0
The Taylor family have been growing Radiata Pine on their grazing properties since the late 1980s. They have learned much of the science from the local and overseas foresters. Along the way they have had to adapt many of the standard practices to suit not only the difficult growing conditions but also integrating livestock production. They have been producing processed round and sawn pine products now for over 25 years as a sideline farm enterprise. Challenges with market access, price transparency, harvesting volumes and labour have all been cause for innovation.
