Expo can help show the way to a secure future

Farming, depending on how it’s approached, can rescue or condemn us to somewhat difficult times.

Activities engaged in by farmers, or by their industrialized counterparts who claim to be farmers, but which are little more than corporations that desire nothing but financial wealth, play key roles in worsening or improving our climate.

Alternatives open to the farming sector can be seen over three days at the Seymour Alternative Farming Expo that begins on Friday, February 17.

The expo is an outdoor supermarket for leading edge farm machinery, products and services from Australia and around the world and showcases Australia's unique engineered and technical solutions to the challenges of farming on one of the world's driest continents.

Technology at Seymour Expo focuses on advances in alternative livestock, cropping enterprises, small to medium farm machinery, implements and building systems (home and farm).

“The Expo,” the organizers say, “has a strong lifestyle focus including food growing and preparation, animals such as cattle, sheep, goats and backyard chooks.

“Regular event features include the Snake Show, Chainsaw Carving, Working Sheep Dogs, Country Cook Off and the Butchers Shop, Gourmet Food Marquee, The Owner Builder Lectures, Agricultural Society Lectures and the NMIT Ag Zone Lectures,” the say.
The expo is set up at Kings park in Tallarook St, Seymour.
