We are still seeing the effects of the frosts from last month in our Wheat Phenology sites 🌾❄️ The frost damage is showing up in a number of wheat varieties. This highlights the importance of choosing the right variety based on maturity and time of sowing.

Last week we visited our Croppa Creek Wheat Phenology trial site. 🌾 It was an informative morning for all, plus it was great to see the hard work the research team is putting in is collecting useful data. AGT LongReach Plant Breeders Douglas Lush Adrian McNair Meiqin Lu #MCAAg
