Last Friday we attended the Baker Seed Co’s. Annual Spring Field Day in Rutherglen.
It was a great opportunity to learn from other industry professionals and hear first-hand from agronomists, farmers and customers how their season is going.
Seeing the techniques and processes of producing a fully grown crop is always fascinating - as well as hearing about variety trial testing.
Thank you to Baker Seed Co for extending the invitation to us!

Today is R U OK? Day 👌🏼
This week at our Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland offices we held a morning tea to encourage all employees to have a chat and feel like they have a space to talk - as well as have a chance to break out some yellow clothes!
Eunice Shao is our qualified Mental Health officer at the Carrum Downs office. She ran a guided meditation for everyone, which was a good time to take a breather, and provided resources for anyone who felt they may need it.
And remember - a conversation can change a life

REVIEW FROM THE INDIAN SEED CONGRESS 2023
Centor Oceania’s Global Sales & Business Development Manager, Darren Driscoll, spent almost 2 weeks in India visiting customers in New Delhi and attending the Indian Seed Congress in early March.
The ISC is the largest seed congress held in Southeast Asia, with 300+ delegates attending, representing around 150 companies.
Darren also travelled to Hyderabad and spent time with the Centor India sales team conducting training, planning meetings, and visiting customers. The key focus was to understand the market, customers, the challenges, and opportunities, of which Darren said there were many.

CAN YOU AFFORD NOT TO have a dust off test to improve your seed coat?
Centor Oceania offers a treated seed dust off measurement service, using the Heubach Dustmeter. Seed is placed into a chamber which is rotated while air is being pulled across the tumbling seed.
Measurement of the amount of dust can be taken to accurately determine how well the coating is adhered to the seed surface.
