Producer Workshops
AgSTAR has a range of practical workshops tailored for producers who want to walk away with a plan that they can implement on-farm.
Farm Planning
This course focuses on developing participants knowledge and skills through five, interactive workshops and an online group coaching session. Participants will be guided through the sessions to develop their own farm plan that is focused on setting achievable goals to reach their desired outcomes. Workshops will be run on participants farms, with time spent working in a “classroom” environment and practical sessions in the field.
Pasture Legumes
This workshop will focus on the vital role of legumes in productive pastures and livestock systems with a strong focus on integration with tropical grasses. Participants will learn how to identify and assess legumes in their paddocks, understand soil nutrition and constraints for legume growth, and develop strategies for introducing and managing legumes in both existing and newly sown pastures. Practical grazing techniques to promote legume establishment and a focus paddock planning session will equip attendees with an action plan to boost pasture performance and productivity.
Farm Water Workshop
This workshop focuses on understanding and managing water resources for livestock production. Participants will learn to determine water requirements, assess water quality, and evaluate existing water availability. It will cover strategies for water storage, transportation, and supply to ensure efficient delivery to livestock. The workshop will include a hands-on practical session to apply these concepts in a real-world context.
We are currently developing further workshops, so please get in contact if you are interested in a topic that you don’t see above.
What producers say about or workshops
I just wanted to thank you for today, I got much more out of it than I expected and found it enjoyable to boot. But I also wanted to say; what a great job you did. Very professional, very connected with all of us there and it was obvious how respected you are amongst those who know you – and rightly so I reckon.

Enjoyed the opportunity to learn from presenters and other farmers.

It’s reinforced the importance of fertiliser for production and selecting the right legumes for the right country.
