💦Irrigation monitoring made simple with G-Dot devices💦

NT Farmers are supporting growers to install irrigation monitoring devices on their farms to help monitor water use. 🥭🍉🥒🍅

🟡Using a handy tool called a G-Dot, growers can gain valuable insights into their irrigation scheduling and make informed decisions about water management throughout the season.

🧠Interested in learning more about irrigation monitoring?

We were out and about on farm yesterday with Big Picture Learning students from Taminmin College learning all about how NT produce is grown, and all the things growers do to get produce to market 🌿

Thank you to the Moon family at Northern Territory Tropical Passionfruit for hosting students!

We have launched Friends of NT Farmers to engage with the broader community and showcase the amazing people and produce behind plant-based agriculture in the North. We want all Territorians to know where their food comes from, and what it takes to get it from paddock to plate! What are you interested in learning about? This platform is for you, help us shape it! 🌱🌱

It might not be mango season, but that doesn't mean you can't get your hands on some tasty NT dried mango treats to get you through!

To make dried mango, like these delicious Troppo Treats, each mango is hand selected for perfect ripeness, then processed by hand so all skin and seed has been removed, leaving just the delicious cheeky flesh for dehydrating. The sliced mango cheeks are then laid onto trays for dehydrating in heat and air machines. These work in the same way as your home dehydrators, just on a much larger scale! 🥭🥭

Darwin markets - relaxed, colourful and PACKED with character! 🥭🥥🌱

Buying fresh produce from Darwin’s markets is also one of the simplest ways to support Northern Territory growers. Every bunch of flowers, tray of fruit and bag of vegetables helps support local farms, families and small businesses. 🍉🥬🌶️
