GRDC Grains Research Update, online – Farming systems – dual purpose crops in the medium rainfall zone of central/southern NSW and summer sown pasture legumes

Summary

The program from the February/March 2022 GRDC Grains Research Updates has moved online. While we and many participants lament not being able to run these events face to face, this is a fantastic opportunity for you to cherry pick  topics of interest to you not only from your area, but from the broader northern region.

• Dual purpose crops - their roles, impact and performance in medium rainfall farming systems. (John Kirkegaard, CSIRO)
• Practicalities and economics of integrating dual purpose crops into the whole of farming operation in the medium rainfall zone. (John Francis, Agrista)
• Dual purpose crops - a grower’s perspective. (John Bruce, Grower, Cobram NSW & Joe Mason, Grower, Gollan, NSW)
• Cranking up crop yields and livestock production using summer sown pasture legumes.  Revisiting fundamental soil and agronomy with new technologies to increase production and rotation flexibility. (Belinda Hackney, NSW DPI)
