After an incredible 30-year journey with IPF, we bid farewell to Jim Laycock James Laycock, our Senior Technical Agronomist. His expertise in agronomy, nutrient and soil management made a profound impact across the communities of NSW. We wish Jim all the best in retirement!

🌾🌾 GROWER STORY A tough end to 2024 showed just how valuable crop diversity can be. #Barley and #FabaBeans added resilience to Zach McRae’s family farm in southern NSW. These side-by-side crops are part of Diverse Farms, a component of the Southern NSW #FarmingSystems

Great to see GRDC funded research showcased in the latest #ruralbiz magazine. Key Take home: Maurie Street GOA ‘This research suggests increasing crop density will give a free kick for weed control without losing yield’

I am helping GRDC with National Grower Network Forums in the northern region. All growers, agronomists and other grains industry stakeholders are welcome to attend. More about the NGN: grdc.com.au/about/our-indu…

Throwback to April 2025 — Sowing Season in Full Swing! 📸 We kicked off our GRDC RiskWi$e N Banking Trial earlier in the year (we’re in our 4th year now!) working alongside growers to better understand the real-world risk and reward of nitrogen ( N ) decisions on-farm 🌱🌾 💡

Opportunity to speak up and share the biggest issues that impact your production on farm! #NGNmeetings

Grazing starts for the 8th year GRDC CSIRO Greenethorpe FS exp’t. CaptainCL (4.8-6.6 tDM/ha) or Timok vetch/Cooba oat (4.7tDM/ha-55%V,45%O) sown 25.3.25. Great to have Audrey Gripper bring her livestock & crop knowledge & experience to our team. Graze rate 536-1250 DSE/ha

Tom Cook Tim Rethus Jonathan Dyer Sam Burgess Ryan Milgate Broden holland Ok brains trust moving from machinery to business matters- where do you go when seek info? Just ag related places or broader ?

2025. Is this a year of missed opportunities ? Past treasures emerge after dry times and wind but the recent rain brings hope. The canola out the back looks ok but I'm pretty sure the trap is finished and the person who set it isn't coming back. Always look forward. Fat Farmers

Having Steve’s Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure expertise available at GRDC events like this is always great value.

Fantastic week of GRDC Farm Business Updates at Griffith, Wagga Wagga and Parkes. Over 370 people over the three days. Lots of valuable info to help your farm business.

Anyone seen it???

Excited to be out and about across Central NSW with GOA delivering #NGN forums. These are an opportunity to share ideas and engage with discussion to help prioritise potential areas of research for #graingrowers GRDC North

One of the lesser known productivity narratives is the extraordinary gains made by the agriculture sector. While other sectors have higher output per hour worked the ag sector has clearly been able to produce what it does with more efficiency improvements.

A presenter has dropped out today at Futureag. So I’ll be filling in on the people in Ag section with a presentation titled ‘maniacs in markets’ It’ll be at 11am on the main stage.

We’re looking for some windrowing if anyone has any connections. Cheers.
