Tour to Dairy Innovation Day 2026

Join us for a bus tour to Dairy Innovation Day 2026, a practical, forwardlooking event bringing together farmers, researchers, advisors and industry leaders under the theme Smart Dairying Leading the Way.

Held on 10 June 2026 at The Barn Palais, Mt Gambier, the day will showcase how dairy businesses are innovating to grow productive pastures, manage water more efficiently, and build resilient systems for the future.

The program features a mix of technical presentations, realworld farmer case studies, expert panels and interactive discussions. Key topics include irrigation performance, soil health under irrigation, feed system transitions, and adapting farm businesses to water and seasonal pressures.

From policy and advocacy updates through to global perspectives on farming in waterlimited environments, this event offers practical insights, informed discussion and clear takehome value for dairy businesses navigating change.

Travel together, connect along the way, and return with ideas you can put into practice.
