<p>The soil carbon research team at Massey University, Plant &amp; Food Research and Manaaki Whenua (Landcare Research) invite you to a field day for farmers and Rural Professionals in the region who are interested in reducing on-farm greenhouse gas emissions.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When:&nbsp;&nbsp; Tuesday 26th February, 11:00am - 1:30pm</p>
<p>Venue:&nbsp; Massey No.4 Dairy Farm, 273 Tennant Drive, Palmerston North</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Aims of this Field day:</p>
<ul>
<li>Share exciting pasture renewal science using <em>full inversion tillage</em> that that can: (i) build more soil organic matter and reduce atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations (ii) reduce a dairy or sheep and beef farm&rsquo;s net greenhouse gas emission, whilst maintaining production. (iii) produce greater summer and winter crop yields and reduce the need to import supplement.</li>
<li>See how the research is conducted, view a plough set up for <em>full inversion tillage</em>.</li>
<li>Network and exchange ideas on how to focus the research on outcomes that farmers need and how to become informed and engaged in discussing NZ climate change policy.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Brief introduction on arrival for a 11am sharp start. Bring your own lunch; water tea and coffee will be provided. Field day will conclude at 1.30pm, with a ploughing demonstration, if conditions allow&nbsp;</p>
