GRDC - Exploring the economics of late sowing (June) options in the Geraldton Port Zone

The Mingenew-Irwin Group (MIG), in collaboration with the Liebe Group, is leading a regional initiative to explore the profitability and performance of late-sown crop options in Western Australia’s Geraldton Port Zone and wheatbelt. Supported by the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC), the Exploring the economics of late sowing (June) options in the Geraldton Port Zone project aims to identify which crop species provide the best economic returns when seeding is delayed into June due to a late break or machinery breakdowns, a challenge that is becoming increasingly common across the northern wheatbelt.
