Rice Extension are delighted invite you to the third Women in Rice network event.

The Women in Rice network aims to connect and empower rural women involved in the rice farming business. There is a focus on sharing knowledge, building skills and growing confidence to make good business decisions, with rice as the common theme. Women of all ranges of experience, knowledge and association of the rice industry are invited. We encourage you to bring along your friends, sisters, mother, daughters and daughters-in-law to the event.

While we are in the midst of the rice season, we are giving you the opportunity to learn about innovation and research involved in producing rice for a changing marketplace.

The free information and networking event will include

A bus tour of Rice Research Australia Pty Ltd from the industry experts focussing on:

Developing new rice varieties
Producing seed
On farm impact on grain quality
Future technology for rice growing

Followed by lunch at the Old Coree homestead and a presentation from Shannon Cumberlidge, SunRice on 'Understanding your consumer'.

Directions:

Conargo Rd, 18 km West of Jerilderie and 34 km east of Conargo.

Attendance at a previous Women in Rice network event is not required to attend this one.
