Economics stack up for subsurface drains 💰💰 

In areas prone to waterlogging, subsurface drainage can pay off in under a decade.

A GRDC-supported National Grower Network project has shown the ROI for installing subsurface drainage in southern WA cropping areas prone to waterlogging is 9-12 years.

The project was managed by South Coast Natural Resource Management Inc. and led by Sophie Willsher, who says the south coast of WA has about 3.6 million hectares that are moderately to highly susceptible to waterlogging with costly implications for crop health and farm profitability.

We're embarking on a collaboration with Meat & Livestock Australia on a new $2.1M 4-year project to put more dollars in the pockets of mixed farming businesses producing both livestock and grain across Queensland, NSW, Victoria, SA and Tasmania. 

Our goal is to showcase how new or alternative management practices, along with key learnings from scientific research and development could benefit commercial mixed farming operations.

As a first step the project co-ordinators are calling for applications for preliminary producer demonstration sites across eastern Australia. 

Applications are NOW OPEN and close on 25 September.

Break crops play a vital role. But their gross margin is often lower than cereal crops, which has limited their adoption. 

Is a double break the answer? 🤔 

Led by West Midlands Group together with The Liebe Group, Facey Group Inc. and Corrigin Farm Improvement Group, a GRDC National Grower Network project has been exploring the potential of double-break crops in the medium and low-rainfall zone in WA's central wheatbelt.

🌱 Double break crop sequences may yield higher profits than current canola-cereal sequences
🌱 Early sowing, particularly in mid-April, can improve chickpea profitability
🌱 Weed populations increased in the chickpea phase but did not adversely affect the subsequent cereal crop.

New study to benchmark crop residue emissions 🌾📊 

A new $8M national study is set to quantify greenhouse gas emissions from crop residues, to help the Australian grains industry accurately report its carbon footprint, with potential benefits for future market access and price.

A GRDC initiative, the national project will be led by Professor David Rowlings from the QUT (Queensland University of Technology) and will involve 2 years of field work to quantify emissions from crop residue decomposition across a range of crop types, climates and soils at 5 sites across Australia.

Two contrasting seasons that resulted in waterlogged conditions in southern WA have provided valuable data to help inform growers’ responses 💦🚜.

The south coast region of WA is prone to waterlogging events that can severely impact grain production. In the early 2020s, growers in that region struggled with consecutive wet seasons.

Through GRDC’s National Grower Network, 2 research projects were deployed in 2022 and 2023 in response to grower requests. 

The aim was to provide growers and advisers with greater confidence to make decisions to grow a cereal crop later in the season.
