Canola to Western NSW - a grower experience locations
Aims

To report on a grower experience of bringing canola to Western NSW.

Key messages
  • I see the value of canola in an intensive cropping system but I believe it is more profitable for me to grow wheat with a good pasture phase in the rotation to manage soil structure and nutrients.
