Our research is currently focussed in the following areas:

• Long-term research site at Cunderdin trialling new methods to improve no-till cropping systems.
• Carbon Farming Initiative: Three project sites in Cunderdin, Bolgart and Beacon.
• Crop Rotation: New ways of introducing more break crops into rotations (Meckering).
• Dry seeding: Assessment and improved management of the risks inherent in seeding cereals dry.
• Climate change: Research into farm level adaptation strategies for variable and changing climates.
• Stubble: The impacts of fallow stubble grazing and stubble retention on following crops.
• Weeds: Management of weeds and strategies to deal with herbicide resistance.
• Summer Crops: Profitability studies including impacts on following season crops.

PLUS more than 20 additional trials at the Cunderdin site displayed in more details at the field days.
