GRDC Grains Research Update – Burren Junction

New tech seeding sensors, augmented reality for repairs, finding farming system profit, nitrogen and fallow efficiency, weeds and grain storage - the latest farm-ready information to improve profit in 2024 is at the Burren Junction GRDC Grains Research Update.

Topics:

• Integrating soil moisture sensor technology on sowing equipment to optimise seeding depth and establishment. David Finlay (MPT AgTech)
• Where AI adds value to agronomic and crop decision-making now, and where might this technology be in 5 years? Jacob Humpal (GRDC)
• Finding profit in the face of increasing input costs, interest and land value. Simon Fritsch (AgriPath)
• Farming systems risk and profit over time in wet and dry seasons with a dive into nitrogen and pulse impacts - risks and rewards of running a higher soil N balance west of the Newell. Jon Baird (NSW DPI), Greg Rummery (Outlook Ag) & Brad Coleman (Coleman Ag)
• Fallow efficiency - how much impact does stubble height, crop type and plant population have? Richard Daniel (Northern Grower Alliance)
• Crop competition effects on weeds and crops. Michael Widderick (DAF Qld)
• Achieving cool grain temperatures in storage through well designed aeration systems Alex Conway (Control Unlimited)
