Understanding return on investment of sub-surface water management options for waterlogged areas in the Western Region (Albany Port Zone)This trial aims to assist growers in making informed decisions around the construction of sub-surface drainage to reduce the impacts of waterlogging on crop production and farm profitability. By 2024, 45% of growers whose properties are affected by waterlogging will have a good understanding of the yield benefits and time to return on investment of installation of on-farm sub-surface drainage and ability to implement on-farm. |

Transitioning family farming businessesThe Transitioning Family Farming Businesses project proposed to facilitate a discussion in the WA grains industry regarding its future industry development requirements around the establishment of farm advisory boards. It did this through the delivery of: • Needs analysis of the Australian grains industry regarding the development of farm advisory boards using leading farmers and key industry stakeholders in; o a series of in-depth interviews, and o an industry forum. • Develop an outline of a training programme that, once developed, will support grain businesses in their implementation of an advisory board of management. • Develop fact sheets regarding the establishment of farm advisory boards. • Provide an opportunity for members of the project team to participate with other leading businesses at a national level through; o Participation in the National Farm Advisory Board Forum, and o Participation in the Family Business Australia “Family Business Directors • Delivery of information on the establishment of farm boards at identified industry conferences and field days. |

The year that was - 2004It is relatively easy to describe a particular year on one’s own farm. To specify precisely what happened over our whole region is the challenging part. Far more difficult is to accurately describe the feelings of the farmers, not to mention those of their partners: the hopes, expectations, commitment, hard work, disappointments and the consequences of what happened. |

Survey of current management practices of barley grass in low rainfall zone farming systemsBarley grass is now one of the top 10 weeds of Australian cropping in terms of area infested, crop yield loss and revenue loss (Llewellyn et al. 2016). Barley grass has several biological traits that make it difficult for growers to manage it in the low rainfall zone, so it is not surprising that it is becoming more prevalent in field crops in SA and WA. Through recent GRDC investment, the research project ‘Demonstrating and validating the implementation of integrated weed management strategies to control barley grass in the low rainfall zone farming systems’ (hereby referred to as GRDC Low Rainfall Barley Grass) has commenced. An initial grower survey of current practice and attitudes towards barley grass was undertaken in 2019 to be used as the baseline to assess changes in grower attitudes and any change in practices after the completion of the three-year project. |
