Twenty local producers attended the recent Carbon Curious dinner held in Narrabri at the Tourist Hotel.
In addition to hearing from GrainGrowers staff about the issues around carbon, those in attendance heard from local producer and GrainGrowers board member, Ian Gourley.
Ian was able to talk about his practical experience, and the benefits of learning more about carbon and greenhouse gas emissions and how this related to his cropping business.
Growers were told of the future expectations that mandated financial disclosures will likely be rolled out for many large organisations from January 2025, eventually extending to medium-sized businesses and others over the next three to five.
At some point, this will impact growers who are selling their grain to organisations who must disclose this information.
Feedback from the event highlighted that it was a good way to connect with growers and provide a introduction on carbon, greenhouse gas emissions and how this relates to their cropping business.
Local growers were encouraged to learn more about GrainGrowers’ range of online resources.
Attendees were also advised that GrainGrowers is subsidising an online course for growers called Growing Soil Carbon 101.
