To investigate available technology tools for farmers to make in-season management decisions for grain farming in the Esperance Port Zone (EPZ). Until recently, Yield Prophet was the most well-known yield estimation tool, however there are now other options becoming available. SEPWA looked at how other in-season management tools measure up in a comparability study, looking predominately at five tools used to forecast yield and manage inputs.

To understand how a range of pasture types combine to form a whole farm feed supply.

The trial aims to see the benefits of crop grazing at various times of sowing, to increase feed availability for stock, while retaining winter pastures and to find out whether crop grazing can be utilised in delaying the flowering window to reduce the impact of frost. It also aims to assess the impact of grazing times against the grain yield and quality across various species and varieties.

This Demonstration forms part of the Grain & Graze II project looking at the relative merits of grazing canola and cereal crops. This demonstration looks to assess whether the effects of grazing wheat with sheep during the growing season. Factors being assessed are Yield & quality, dry matter production and grazing value.

1. To identify the optimal agronomy for chickpeas, grown in medium to low rainfall zones of northern
Western Australia.
2. To address the issue of adequate weed control that impacted the profitability of chickpea crops grown
in medium rainfall zones in earlier trials in this project.

In these trials Corrigin Farm Improvement Group aimed to test the benefits of growing crops on chemical fallowed soil. The trials specifically compared which crop species were most profitable under a chemical fallowing regime. In season 2013 barley was most profitable and in 2014 albus lupins were the most profitable crop grown on chemical fallow.

This project was designed to test the relative benefit of chemical fallow with a range of different crop types. The trials compared different crop types on chemical fallow with the aim to identify which crop is likely to produce the highest return. The trials was a joint effort with Pulse Australia with the aim also to demonstrate and test pulse species in the Corrigin district.
