Research for the Riverine Plains 2019

Welcome to the 2019 edition of Research for the Riverine Plains. 

The 2018–19 season will be remembered for the stark contrast between the eastern and western regions and the relative financial performance of those businesses that got enough rain and those that didn’t. Farming systems have evolved over the decades to adapt to the challenges of farming in the Australian climate. Practices like early sowing, stubble retention, the use of winter varieties and controlled traffic are now common-place, and all play their part in helping make the most of the season that mother nature dishes up. 

Farming systems groups like Riverine Plains play a vital role in validating cutting edge research at a local level, so that growers can continue to evolve and adapt their businesses with confidence. Our group prides itself on the quality of our research and extension programs, and I would especially like to thank members, sponsors and friends of the group for their continued support of our project activities as well as our stand-alone events.
