IHEMP NSW FIELD TRIP EVENT
iHemp NSW’s Regional Field Trip Event – 11-12 September.
Day 1 – Narrabri Annual Field Day – There was a lot of learnings across the board, including hemp seed varieties, winter crops carbon data collection, traceability of fibre as well time to network and build relationships with farmers, agronomists, academics and scientists, students and potential growers. First six images from Narrabri.
Day 2 – Visit to Keytah.
A mini bus load of iHemp NSW members and friends took a 35 minute bus ride from Moree to Keytah, for an incredible firsthand insight into the workings of a large and sustainably focused (yes, monitoring is their forte) cotton farm and gin.
“The Cotton business visit of David and Danielle Statham’s Sundown Co was incredible with the data collection and attention to details for auditing for more sustainable cotton production (and higher price) with their Ground Earth label and satellite Carbon mapping tool called Downforce. It is mind blowing – with its evidence-based data collection and interpretation – as well as their textile bale continuous whole of life cycle traceability initiative called Fibre Trace.” – Agronomist, John Muir.
