Expansion of popular mice workshops for farmers & new biological control research
Minister for Agriculture Adam Marshall has today announced a new series of mice management workshops for farmers contending with mice plague activity across parts of the State.
Mr Marshall said the series of 16 extra workshops followed nine earlier events which were fully subscribed and very well received by producers, looking to strengthen their on-farm mice management programs.
“It is critical farmers have access to the best tools and information to manage mice and that’s exactly what we’re giving them,” Mr Marshall said.
“To help achieve this, we have secured Australia’s leading mice expert, Steve Henry from the CSRIO, to provide in person advice to landholders. Steve is a powerful asset in our arsenal who has been researching mice for over 25 years.
