We have been conducting a survey of Australian grain growers since 1993. The Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) survey measures trends relating to grower attitudes, our performance and captures data related to our RD&E investments. This information helps us improve how we deliver on our purpose of investing in RD&E to create enduring profitability for Australian grain growers.

To receive more information about our RD&E, including results from this survey, make sure you subscribe to our monthly regional newsletters.

Please ensure you select grain grower in the ‘How would you describe yourself’ section and include your postcode and telephone number when filling in your details.
