  Trangie Agricultural Research Centre (TARC) is on track to host the 2010 NSW Conservation Agriculture Field Day on Thursday, February 18.

  Industry & Investment (I&I) NSW TARC manager, Anne Mabey, said the Department was a partner with the Conservation Agriculture and No-till Farming Association (CANFA), Central West Farming Systems and Riverina-based FarmLink Research in running the popular event.

  "The field day certainly continues to hit the mark with more than 1000 visitors flocking to this years field day at our Temora research station," Ms Mabey said.

  "We expect a similar turn-out for Trangie as farmers continue to be drawn to displays of the latest farm technology from controlled traffic and precision agriculture equipment, spray rigs to disc and tyne seeders."

  CANFA chief executive officer, Neville Gould, said the competition for the best farmer-modified machine, sponsored by The Land, has also been a popular drawcard.

  "We hope to see next year's competition spark interest from farmers across NSW," Mr Gould said.
