Sustainable cropping

Our services

We aim to give growers the confidence and knowledge to adopt new technologies and innovations that are driving the success of the grains industry. This includes how to manage the current constraints to increase productivity and profitability, protect and improve soils and reduce the impact of climate variability in the grains sector.

We run field days and workshops for farmers to increase their knowledge in the following areas:

• controlled-traffic and no-till farming practices
• retaining standing stubble for improved yields
• improving water use efficiency in the cropping system
• new technology
• innovations in cropping techniques
• managing risks to market access
• chemical group rotation and risks associated with off-label use
• biosecurity (pests and disease)
• business marketing
• risk management associated with climate variability.
