Riverine Plains Inc is a not for profit, farming systems research and extension organisation that services cropping and mixed farmers in north east Victoria and southern NSW.
We have a membership base of over 315 farming families spread across a wide geographical area. Our members farm as far north as Lockhart and Henty in NSW and as far south as Euroa and Shepparton in Victoria. The majority of our members are dryland farmers though a number also have access to irrigation.

John Sykes Rural Consulting
Aims:
• To examine the cereal crop options that could be used after wheat including another wheat crop or growing barley or triticale. • To start examining packages for maximising yield from these crops.

Aims:
Evaluate the performance of different drill openers at a range or row spacings for first wheat following canola. The goal of this trial is to improve water use efficiency (WUE) in no-till cropping and stubble retention systems in spatially and temporally variable conditions in the Riverine Plains.
Aims:
To compare the effects of variable phophorus and sowing rates on the wheat yields. To assess if remote sensing, using Crop Circle normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) could be used to better assess in-crop nitorgen requirements.
