Looking to keep up to date with the latest Grains developments?
The February/March 2022 Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) Updates will now be held online. While COVID may prevent the events from running face to face, the online events are still a fantastic opportunity for you to cherry-pick the topics you’re interested in, both from our area, as well as from the broader northern region.
‘I enjoy attending the updates. They have a diverse range of speakers who are experts in their field. I learn about new technologies and hear about emerging trends. The question times are also quite good, whether listening to other farmers questions or asking my own. It’s also a good opportunity to mix with other producers.’ - Mr Allan Clarke ‘Delbie Park’ Tocumwal
Registration is free for 19 webinars to be held from 15 February to 8 March, which will cover the latest topics from across the northern grains region as well as the most up-to-date research for the coming season.
