b'Grain growers in Tasmania could be averaging cereal yields of 7 tonnes per hectare. The top 10 percent of those growers could be doing double that tonnage.\\n\\nThis is a major outcome the Hyper Yielding Cereals project wants to see after 5 years of Research, Development and Extension.\\n\\nThis podcast will take you to Hagley in northern Tasmania where the GRDC has invested in a major trial to lift feed wheat and barley yields, as well as improve grain quality and reduce the need for the island state to import cereals.\\n\\nLeading the Hyper Yielding Cereals R&D team is Nick Poole from FAR Australia.\\n\\nFurther information:\\nhttps://www.far.org.nz/far_australia/research_and_extension_projects\\n\\nNick Poole\\nManaging Director Foundation for Arable Research Australia\\n23 High Street, Inverleigh, Victoria, 3321, Australia\\nPh: +61 3 5265 1290\\nFax: +61 3 5265 1601\\nMobile: +61 499 888 066\\n\\nWeb: www.far.org.nz (http://www.far.org.nz/)\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
