UNFS

Formed in 2001, the Upper North Farming Systems (UNFS) Group conducts research trials and provides extension and networking opportunities for farmers, agronomists, researchers and primary industry... The UNFS Group covers a diverse geographical area in the Upper North Region of South Australia. The region is bordered to the north and east by the pastoral zones and extends south to the higher rainfall zones and encompasses the towns of Booleroo Centre, Crystal Brook, Hallet, Jamestown, Laura, Peterborough, Nelshaby, Orroroo, Quorn and Wilmington... The Upper North Farming Systems Group was formed in 2001 in recognition that farmers leading farmers was a valuable and efficient mechanism to improve the productivity, profitability and sustainability of the agricultural industry in Low Rainfall Zones. These areas are typically less serviced by government research bodies and private consultants, so it is important that farmers are supported in supporting each other.
