Research for the Riverine Plains 2006

Welcome to the 2006 edition of Research for the Riverine Plains. 

Farmers in the Riverine Plains area have a long and proud history of efficiency and innovation, being speedy adopters of technology and new practices. 

One of the reasons behind the inception of Riverine Plains was a perceived lack of attention from funding bodies being given to the area for relevant and local Research and Development (R&D). In this sense, Riverine Plains was established to ‘fill a hole’ extension wise, and to try and help attract research dollars for badly needed R&D projects.

There seems to be a growing recognition as to the importance of the area agriculturally, and the willingness of the players to take up technology quickly, and thus reward the research, development and extension funds that are invested. In line with the above, Riverine Plains announced during 2005, that it had successfully tendered for a new applied R&D project.
