Invitation

The 2008 organising committee would like to invite you to attend the 6th Australian Controlled Traffic Farming Conference. The event has evolved since 1995 with a strong focus on modern technology and advanced agronomy.

We have an exciting program covering all aspects of CTF systems, which will be discussed by leading industry representatives and farmers from various regions and production industries. Following the success of previous CTF conferences we have maintained a grower-focused approach with a broad mix of technical presentations.
