MFMG wheat variety trials

Two MacKillop Farm Management Group (MFMG) wheat variety trials were sown in 2019 at Sherwood and Frances. These trials are conducted annually to enable growers to evaluate a selected number of varieties under specific local conditions. Varieties evaluated include released cultivars and experimental lines. An additional trial was conducted at Conmurra evaluating potential high yielding varieties for the high rainfall zone. Conmurra results are reported in Chapters 2 and 3.
