Wheat, barley and other winter cereals

Profitable winter cereal growing demands higher production per unit area at lower cost per unit of production. This can only be achieved by increasing grain yields through economic adoption of new or improved technology and by adopting the latest best management practices. It is important to choose the most suitable variety for each paddock and sowing time and match this to available markets.
