Most of Phil’s presentations are very practical and hands-on, especially the field days. Here Phil is seen presenting to a group of farmers at a CANFA field day in Wellington, Australia. He discussed methods to improve stands in higher residue no-till conditions at this event.

Phil offers pre-season wheat management seminars for growers. These are often hosted 1-2 months ahead of planting and are designed to help walk a grower through all of the required steps to help them create the best yield potential from the very start. These steps often include: Residue management, seeding equipment, seed quality, seeding rates, seed treatments, varieties, soil sampling methods, fertility strategies and how to make population assessments to quantify seeding system performance.
