The Grainsearch program was developed in 2002 to gain access to cereal varieties sourced predominantly from New Zealand and southern Europe. The objective of the project is to evaluate and identify those varieties with superior performance in the longer growing seasonal areas of South West Victoria. Various agronomic trials are conducted on these varieties each year at regional sites and benchmarked against existing varieties, to further enhance their production potential. Grainsearch has an on-going variety evaluation program and has commercialised a number of cereal varieties over the last 3 years.

The Grain & Graze program aims to boost farm profitability across the mixed farming zone of southern Australia, while helping to protect the environment. Our research focuses on cropping, pastures, livestock, profitability, feedbase management, whole-farm economics, biodiversity, social issues, soil and water. One of the strengths of the program is the direct involvement of farmers and farming groups in local trials and extension activities.
