Latest Grains Research Headed To Pittsworth
The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) is reaching out to growers on the Darling Downs to come along and hear the latest in grains research and innovation.

GRDC Senior Regional Manager, Gillian Meppem, said GRDC’s Research Updates are the perfect opportunity for growers and advisers to network with industry and learn about the ways in which the grains industry is evolving.
The aim is to deliver the latest in news, research and technology through presentations to ensure that growers and advisers can apply the research to their farm businesses.
The agenda has been selected with input from local growers and agronomists to ensure topics meet grower interest. Presentations will include -
Information on managing chickpea and cereal quality in on-farm storage.
An update on crown rot management, with growers urged to be cautious of the disease this year due to high occurrences last year and ongoing wet conditions.
The GRDC Research Updates is a full day event to be held at the Pittsworth Function Centre on Wednesday 27 July from 9am to 3pm. Morning tea and lunch will be provided, with plenty of opportunity for networking throughout the day.
