Run on behalf of the GRDC, the northern region Grains Research Updates are workshops to provide grain growers and/or their advisers with the latest research outcomes relevant to their region and business.
GRDC Grains Research Updates, online bring you the latest grains research straight to your screen. Log in for a selection of the latest farm-ready research and regionally relevant topics. Webinar topics and links will be listed below when they go live.
1-day Updates
Topics for 1-day Updates are chosen by a local planning committee comprising local growers and agronomists. This ensures that agendas cover priority research issues that are regionally relevant. Locations of the 1-day Updates change each year.
February/March Updates are not running as face-to-face meetings due to the widespread caseload for Covid 19 in New South Wales and Queensland, with caseload numbers expected to peak in mid-February.
We are currently working on a series of free online events to take place in the same weeks. Please check back here soon
2-day Updates
Researchers, agronomists, growers and consultants network, share ideas and update their knowledge at the 2-day GRDC Grains Research Updates. If you are involved in the production side of the grains industry, these are events that you cannot afford to miss.
February/March Updates are not running as face-to-face meetings due to the widespread caseload for Covid 19 in New South Wales and Queensland, with caseload numbers expected to peak in mid-February.
