In response to many inquiries about EM38 technology, either from those who came to an industry field day (as part of the Irrigation Technology Tour Feb 2015) or who have spoken with someone else who attended, Department of Natural Resource Management (DNRM) have offered to hold a 2 day training workshop in Toowoomba . The Agenda will run through absolutely everything to do with EM38's; with a theory morning on how they work and the soil calibration calculations and an in-field afternoon taking participants out into the field to show them how to set up survey lines, take soil cores, do machine and soil calibrations, towing setups, and krieging the data to produce maps.

There is a real need to act on the momentum generated from the tour, provide assistance to those wanting to take up this technology and train users with analysis and interpretation once they get started.

The workshop was advertised in the article on EM38's for The Australian Cottongrower and so far 56 attendees have registered. For this to be offered as a free workshop, DNRM will organise the workshop and the venue and have requested CRDC pay for catering. External presenters have been invited to present (at no cost).
