  • Overview

    This one-day tour takes place in the NSW Riverina, the birthplace of Australia's commercial rice industry.

    We highlight the role of rice in the national and international economy. You can see rice growing in paddies, discuss farming and related matters with an actual rice farmer, see irrigation water management systems in operation and learn more about an essential food item consumed daily by more than half the world's population.

  • What's included?
    • Meet a farmer, observe his rice crop, learn of his business operations including his use of machinery and technical know-how.
    • See how irrigation water is managed to maximise efficiency and what future plans and aspirations exist for use of this precious natural resource.
    • Learn how computerised data is collected remotely and incorporated into farming-related decision making.
    • Clamber over one of the giant machines used in sowing and harvesting the crop. Become aware of how a wide range of technical and scientific experts contribute to the success of each and every Australian rice farmer and how they assist rice industries in other parts of the world.

    Went on a tour with Jonty and it was a delightful experience in Wagga Wagga. Jonty is a wealth of knowledge and was the perfect tour guide. The tour was personalised to the types of farms that we liked and was full of character. Talking to people working on the land is a very different perspective and I would highly recommend anyone interested in agriculture to do this!
