For more than 15 years Partners in Grain Inc (PinG) has been a successful and active not-for-profit organisation providing professional development opportunities to farming businesses across Australia. As PinG evolved, the five individual regions within the organisation (NSW, QLD, Vic/Tas, SA & WA) developed their own unique strengths and strategies tailored to the needs of growers in their area.
Hence, to enable the regions greater opportunities and efficiencies, in June 2017 Partners in Grain Inc ceased operating as a national organisation, the regions became their own entities and the Partners in Grain Alliance was established.
Working as a national Alliance fosters a network for communication, support, partnerships and shared programs, whilst maintaining independence and relevance to the regional areas.
Each of the members of the Partners in Grain Alliance continues to deliver “locally relevant, personalised training” that is guided by the direction of local growers and industry associates.
The Perennial Pasture Systems (PPS) group was formed in mid 2007 and has had 159 farm businesses across Central Victoria and the Southern Wimmera join the group since its formation. The aim of the group is to push the boundaries of perennial pasture research in their area and provide information on productive pasture management to members.
