| CN4238134 | The project will establish four paddock scale barley demonstration sites (Frankland River, Mount Barker, Woogenellup North and Green Range) with a nil control and four in season N strategies reflecting likely grower supply scenarios. SCF will run a fortnightly plant tissue testing program from early tillering to late stem elongation, supported by baseline and follow up soil N testing, two NDVI timings and harvest yield mapping, and will extend results to growers through a simple traffic light alert system via monthly e news updates, interim short videos and at least one field walk. The intended outcome is improved confidence and timeliness of in season N decisions—matched to crop stage, rainfall received and fertiliser already applied—so growers can better protect yield and nitrogen use efficiency under constrained inputs. | Stirlings to Coast Farmers | $121,676 |
| CN4238032 | Growers have emphasised the urgent need for clearer guidance on micronutrient management. The discussion is now turning towards fertiliser strategies for pulses, particularly regarding micronutrients, following ongoing research into phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and sulphur (S) application. Growers are seeking up-to-date recommendations to optimise micronutrient use in established and emerging pulse varieties. | Living Farm Pty Ltd | $358,335 |
| CN4236841 | Ultimately, this investment will help bridge the current knowledge gap, fostering greater adoption of evidence-based practices and supporting sustainable productivity improvements. By aligning with growers' direct concerns and prioritising practical knowledge transfer, the project will ensure that robust, regionally relevant information on pH and micronutrient interactions is available to all growers and industry. | Murdoch University | $350,000 |
| CN4234211 | This project will explore short-term on-farm grain storage as a strategy to improve harvest efficiency and reduce costs for Australian grain growers. By keeping harvesters operating at full capacity, growers can minimise machinery depreciation, reduce fuel and labour costs, and lower the risk of grain quality losses due to adverse weather. The project will provide practical guidance on available storage options and generate economic analysis to help growers assess the financial benefits of adopting these systems. Findings will be shared through fact sheets, webinars, workshops, and regional grower updates, ensuring growers have access to clear, evidence-based information to support more efficient, profitable, and resilient harvest operations. | Planfarm Pty Ltd | $121,070 |

| CN4233519 | NGN Validating Lupins as a Profitable Pulse for the HRZ | Southern Farming Systems | $269,019 |
| CN4233353 | This procurement proposes to develop a web-based tool embedded on the GRDC website to assist growers at different levels of farm safety implementation to identify where they are on the farm safety adoption pathway and guide them on the next steps in the adoption process. | UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY | $543,728 |
| CN4233356 | Bridging the gap between research and on farm implementation we aim to use this project to show growers the flexibility, versatility and potential profitability of winter wheats. Facilitating the implementation of seeder width, strip trials of Mowhawk sown next to and at the same time as growers spring wheat cultivar used in their respective programmes. Across 4 farms, with Mowhawk seed provided to fit into the farm programme at two times of sowing, April and May (8 demonstration sites total), to give farmers a practicable example of winter wheat production on their farm and more generally across the L/MRZ of the Esperance Port Zone. Using a combination of rapid social media content and in person extension activities to provide maximum reach and exposure to the trial and its findings. By the conclusion of this project early 2028, we aim to see growers and advisors making educated decisions on the incorporation of winter wheats into their rotations. Creating more diverse, resilient and profitable systems. | Foundation for Arable Research (FAR) | $232,951 |
