The Society for Engineering in Agriculture publishes a regular newsletter which appears as a section entitled "Leading Edge" in the publications: Australian Grain, Australian Cottongrower, and Australian Sugarcane (Greenmount Press, Toowoomba). This newsletter provides local and international news related to engineering in agriculture and precision agriculture. The magazines are all published six times a year.
Members are entitled to receive any one of the three publications which contain "Leading Edge". The other two publications are available by direct subscription to Greenmount Press at a discount rate, provided you mention to Greenmount Press that you are an SEAg member.
The items which appear in "Leading Edge" are not necessarily the same across all three publications, as the publisher of Australian Grain, Cotton and Sugarcane undertakes some editorial streaming of articles to suit the target audiences of the different publications.
Membership is open to all people interested in 'Engineering in Agriculture' (not necessarily 'Agricultural Engineering'). This includes scientists, farmers, surveyors, technical officers, engineers, manufacturers, distributors, processors, _______________.
Formal qualifications are not necessary.
International membership is welcome.
Membership runs from 1st July in each year to 30th June the following year. There are no pro-rata costs and periods: e.g. if you join in September your membership period runs until the next 30th June.
Member - A$82.50
