Voorwoord/Preface
Hallo almal,
Die eerste winterreën het die Swartland bereik. Wisselende syfers is tot nou toe aangeteken, maar ons is dankbaar oor elke druppel. In dele van die Suid-Kaap het die gewasse al begin opkom. Dit maak ’n mens sommer opgewonde wanneer die bruin skakerings so mooi na groen toe begin verander.
Ons is so twee maande weg van ons 10de BLWK Jack Human-week en ons hoop om julle almal daar te sien. Daar sal iets vir almal wees en die lesings en besprekings beloof om baie interessant te wees. Sowel plaaslike as internasionale sprekers gaan hulle wenke, navorsing en waarnemings deel. Die praktiese dag word vanjaar op die Tygerhoek-navorsingsplaas by Riviersonderend aangebied. Ons hoop om so veel moontlik praktiese inligting aan julle deur te gee en goeie besprekings te fasiliteer. Die volledige program asook inligting oor waar om kaartjies te koop is elders in hierdie nuusbrief.
Groete van huis tot huis en mag die laaste plantery baie goed verloop.
Hello everyone,
It looks like the winter has finally arrived with rain falling in the Swartland. Varying amounts were recorded until now, but we are thankful for every little bit. In parts of the Southern Cape crops has already emerged and it makes one very happy to see the shades of brown changing to green.
We are two months away from presenting our 10th CAWC Jack Human Week and we hope to see all of you there. There will be something for everyone and the lectures and discussions promises to be very interesting. This year the practical day will take place on the Tygerhoek Research Farm near Riviersonderend. It is our aim to communicate as much practical information as possible and to facilitate fruitful discussions about the trials. The complete programme and information about tickets and bookings are available in this newsletter.
Best of luck with the planting season and see you in August!
