Investments
Welcome to our investments. We invest in Research, Development and Extension (RD&E) to create enduring profitability for Australian grain growers.
Here you will find active investments, and investments completed after 1 January 2020 from our RD&E portfolio. Some investments will display related communication and extension activities, and other associated outputs.
Please let us know what you think as we welcome any feedback.

Machine learning to extract maximum value from soil and crop variability
The yields of major crops in Australia are often below their water-limited potential. A reason for this is the complexity of Genotype x Environment x Management (GxExM) interaction, which results in crop growth with high variability. This project…- Project start date:
