For Producers
One of the core activities of the E H Graham Centre is to provide an extension service that delivers accurate and timely information on best management practices to producers and natural resource managers. Furthermore, to ensure that the objectives of the Centre remain relevant to agricultural industries, an Industry Advisory Committee reviews and plans our strategic direction. Members of this committee include farmers and agribusiness representatives.
In 2008 the Graham Centre is developing an Events Calendar of agriculture conferences, field days, workshops and meetings being held in the local region and surrounding districts. For further information about this calendar please contact Helen Burns.
The Centre now produces The Innnovator, a quarterly electronic newsletter which endeavours to keep producers and other relevant parties informed of our work. To be included on our mailing list please send an email to helen.burns@dpi.nsw.gov.au.
The Graham Centre welcomes the opportunity to exchange information with producers: please contact our Industry Liaison Officer Helen Burns or Centre Director Deirdre Lemerle. A list of extension officers and extension researchers is also provided below.
