SOWING THE SEED FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE
WA Crop Technology Centre (Albany)
The WA Crop Technology Centre was established in 2019 and is located in the Albany Port zone of WA (Frankland River). The centre was initially host to the GRDC’s High Rainfall Zone (HRZ) Farming Systems project and subsequently the GRDC’s Hyper Yielding Crops (HYC) initiative. The HYC Initiative was a four-year investment spanning five states – Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, New South Wales and Western Australia. The site continues to host a range or research projects including Industry Innovations (II). II has allowed FAR Australia’s to join forces with industry to provide innovative research solutions which in turn are helping to create a more productive and sustainable future for the Australian grains industry.
