Crop Science Society of SA Incorporated

The Crop Science Society of South Australia Incorporated is an active organisation of farmers, farming consultants and agricultural research scientists, since 1975. It was felt that a society was needed to provide a forum for the exchange of information between people in academic and applied fields; between research, teaching, extension workers, farmers and marketing representatives - in fact all who have an interest in crops and crop production.

The Crop Science Society provides a forum for the interchange of ideas from a membership extended beyond that spanned by any existing organisation. Currently, the society has approximately 550 members from rural and metropolitan SA, as well as a small interstate membership. Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month at the University of Adelaide's Roseworthy campus.

	Planning for 2011 Planning for this year and the immediate season is assisted by brief articles in the 'news' box. If you have interesting material - please forward to cropsssa@yahoo.com to help others.		Meetings Are normally on the 3rd or 4th Wed of the month between February and October at Roseworthy at 7.30pm. Nearly all presentations are visual so you can view talks at your convenience. Information on speakers for the next meeting will be made available a week prior to the event.
	Subscriptions The society is funded through 'membership' subscriptions which can be paid to the Treasurer via the downloadable form in the box. We are keen that you support us in this way. The University of Adelaide provides infrastructure support (meeting rooms and web) otherwise we are financially independent.		Newsletters These articles are generally written by the expert in the subject with virtually no editorial interference - so directly to you. These articles are the best available advice, and suggestions  when firm evidence is lacking. The collection of previous articles will soon be searchable via google.
