Queensland Crop Research Ltd Inaugural Field Day

The inaugural field day will be held at the recently acquired, grower owned research farm. This property was purchased by a significant investment through the Grains Research Development Corporation (GRDC) and the Queensland Department of Agriculture (QDAF) to ensure that there is a research farm on the Darling Downs able to deliver Research Development and Extension (RD&E) to support increased grain grower profitability and, in doing so, grow Queensland’s primary industries’ contribution to the economy.

Growers are encouraged to visit and see first-hand their new asset and current research trials. These include a sorghum NVT, QDAF early generation germplasm and UQ-QAAFI research projects. Also on display will be sowing equipment, technology interfacing and application of drones for growers and their use in applied research and development work.
