SOWING THE SEED FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE

WA Crop Technology Centre (Esperance)

The WA Crop Technology Centre was established in 2019 and is located in the Esperance Port zone of WA (Gibson). The centre was initially host to the GRDC’s High Rainfall Zone (HRZ) Farming Systems project which was led by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development in collaboration with FAR Australia and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) with the objective optimising cropping in the Western and Southern regions. 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.
