Chris Vanzetti generously allowed us onto his farm to conduct the trial. EverCrop local adaptation group members (Moora) have provided valuable input into management schedules. Janey Arkle, Chris Herrmann, Jake Joyce, Bec Parsons and Julie Roche gave excellent technical assistance in 2011, and the DAFWA Geraldton Research Support Unit managed and maintained the trial. Thanks also to others who have been part of the EverCrop-WA team at different times over the past 3 years: Phil Barrett-Lennard, Perry Dolling, Diana Fedorenko, John Finlayson, Peter Gwynne, Roger Lawes, Shayne Micin, Nat Raisbeck-Brown, Michael Robertson, Susan Robson, Tim Wiley and George Woolston. This research was funded by the Grains Research and Development Corporation through the Future Farm Industries CRC as part of the Evercrop Project (P2 FP09). |
