FARMERS, millers, harvesters and researchers from within the sugar industry came together in Bundaberg last week for the Next Gen CaseIH Step Up conference.
Held over two days, the event covered a variety of topics including technology, global marketing, sustainability, intellectual property, diseases, pests, agronomy, biosecurity and succession planning.
There was also a trade display with sponsors providing plenty of information and opportunities for discussion.
The conference included a field trip to a local controlled traffic farm, plus a visit to Agri Fibre Industries.
The event was rounded off with a dinner at Kalki Moon Distillery.
