A new GRDC publication containing the latest research into canola production in Western Australia’s low rainfall zones is now available.

This detailed GRDC publication also contains grower case studies outlining how growers manage their crops to get the best results in these challenging environments.

In this podcast you’ll hear from one of those growers Tony Murfit, who farms near Merredin, about a three hour drive east of Perth.

Debra Bishop travelled to the eastern grain belt to record this account of Tony Murfit’s experience as a canola grower.
