Manilla Wheat Field Days Highlight Local Trials
A. A. Stening of the Department of Agriculture led Wheat Field Days in Manilla District visiting Upper Manilla and Hashes Creek. He was joined by district instructor Mark Reynolds and Tamworth grower McRitchie to inspect experimental plots at Adam Nixon’s Oakhamp ton property. Nixon, a top local wheat grower, showcased 600 acre crops and a 200 acre Ford field noted for vigorous, clean grain.Facing erosion risks on steep western slopes, Nixon and Reynolds demonstrated improvised terracing to channel water, creating terraces across a slope from Oaky Creek to the ridge to stabilize the hillside and improve drainage.

A Manilla fire brigade proposal gains momentum as council to form public meeting to discuss rates, alarms, and insurance implications.
