  • New insights into the most profitable cropping systems in southern NSW
    Industry Insights, 17 Jan 2024
    New insights into the most profitable cropping systems in southern NSW

    The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) has invested $9.5 million since 2017 in a groundbreaking project, led by CSIRO in collaboration with the NSW Department of Primary Industries, to identify the most profitable and least risky cropping rotations for southern New South Wales grain growers. The project, involving four experimental sites in NSW, has been closely monitoring the efficiency of rainfall conversion into profit across various farming systems. Key findings reveal that certain farming systems, integrating legumes and diverse crop sequences, were significantly more profitable and less risky compared to traditional canola-cereal systems.
