Lashbrooks win rice industry award
A big congratulations to rice industry award recipients David and Nancy Lashbrook.
Their 2022 Langi crop won the Port of Melbourne highest long grain yield for producing 12.28T/ha of Langi on 24.2ha. Their award was presented at a rice conference last week in Yarrawonga. These results were no accident, as they were achieved by outstanding managers who sowed on time and did everything right to pull off a great yield.

A lovely luncheon was had by the Coleambally Garden Club on August 6, at the Punt Hotel, Darlington Point. Lunch consisted of a winter warming chicken and corn soup with a generous serving of bread to soak it all up with.
We had planned to take a walk around the newly renovated park alongside the river, however the weather was not on our side. The rain hindered our chance for a leisurely stroll after lunch.
The next Coleambally Garden Club meeting will be held at the Narrandera Camellia Show this Saturday.
It is the 48th annual Narrandera Camellia Show and will be held at the Ex-Servicemen's Club auditorium, Bolton St, Narrandera, this Friday and Saturday.
Entry to the Camellia Show is $5, with school children free.
Further details for this event can be found via the Narrandera Garden Club Facebook.
