In this interview, we’re going to be chatting with DPIRD grain researcher, Martin Harries, about a six-year focus paddock survey he led. The survey collated data from 184 paddocks spanning 14 million hectares of cropping land in Western Australia. It was all made possible with a DPIRD and GRDC investment and the collaboration of 13 farming groups; including the Facey, Liebe, Mingenew-Irwin groups and WANTFA.Martin has recently published the weeds aspect of this research as part of his PhD and reported that we’re having some great success with weed control in Western Australia.You can check out the AHRI insight on this research here: https://ahri.uwa.edu.au/epic-wa-focus-paddock-project-shows-were-having-a-win/
