Evening all Just a short note to let you know we have just released our FAR Australia national GEN report. So if you want to check out the performance of new lines, regional yields or response to fungicide, head to. Thanks to all for your support. faraustralia.com.au/wp-content/upl…

AGF Seeds’s new conventional spring barley, Gretchen has shown 5 to 10% yield improvements over RGT Planet. A mid-late maturity barley that offers a sound disease package with strength in Scald resistance and significant improvement in Net Form Net Blotch vs RGT Planet.

Make hay while the sun shines. Dairy Australia's Forage Value Index has been released and our new Tetraploid Italian Ryegrass Growa has performed outstandingly. Ranked 3rd overall and 1st for combined Early Spring, Late Spring, and Summer seasonal values.

Edition 2 of our Seed Guide is out now! The new edition includes the release of our wheat and barley trials that tested commercial and pre-commercial material across a range of fungicide levels, and the latest information on Triple 2 and Gretchen. The link is in our bio

First load hitting the weighbridge from @AGF_Seeds seed crop of our new Gretchen barley variety available to growers in 2026. Many years of work to get to this point and excited to see a strong barley variety for the M-HRZ hit the market in 2026.

High late disease pressure in @AGF_Seeds wheat trial. In photo 1 the 3 reps at top = no fungicide, 3 reps in middle = 1 x flag leaf fungicide & 3 reps at bottom = 2 x fungicide. Winter wheats in left 1/3 of photo much stronger resistance vs springs on right. Great data to come!

📷 Thank You to Our Supporters 📷 We extend our heartfelt thanks to AGF Seeds and Elders Western Junction for their generous sponsorship of the Hagley field day — your commitment to FAR Australia's field program is undeniable, and your contribution plays a vital role in advancing agricultural research and innovation. Please come along for a day of innovation and collaboration. @AGF_Seeds @EldersLimited #faraustralia #grainsinnovation #AgriculturalResearch

New Mowhawk quick winter wheat @AGF_Seeds seed crop filling well in tight finish in NW VIC. Will give growers in warmer climates an early wheat sowing option/open up early break options for wheat. Photo 1 is Mowhawk left, Scepter right @DMAg_consultant @BreedersPlant

Thank you to everyone who braved the wild weather to attend our field day on Wednesday. We hope you got a lot out of it. The site was looking incredible thanks to the hard work of our R&D team and everyone who pitched in to make the day work.

The @AGF_Seeds Newton winter barley seed crop looking a treat in SW Vic even in a challenging season. Have observed great grazing value to meet winter feed gaps plus very competitive grain yields in HRZ with this dual purpose variety @AuSeednet

Captain CL Success Stories - Turning Winter Canola into Lamb

Great to attend AgGrow Agronomy @agrobaz variety trial walk Tuesday. Great to also see Triple 2 mid-quick winter wheat at Hillston irrigated site. Option for those irrigators in region looking for strong disease resistance, proven grain yield & access to feed markets @AGF_Seeds

Darcy with an update from our site down in Tassie. Plenty to look at in the plots in 2025 🙌 @theGRDC

A week visiting @AGF_Seeds customers & @GRDC_NVT sites in SE QLD & NE NSW for updates on new exciting dual purpose mid-quick maturity winter wheat - Triple 2, mid maturity spring barley - Gretchen & forage blend performances. 1. Triple 2, 2. Captain CL 3. Mighty Graze 4. Gretchen

Just under a month until our Spring Field Day and the site is looking amazing. Join us on October 22nd to view our Smeaton trial site with over a thousand trial plots covering broadacre, pasture & forage, and multispecies blends. RSVP 👇 forms.office.com/r/jvHnP0ESDD

The @AGF_Seeds wheat trial site as we head into spring field day season. Lots to show & discuss here culminating in our field day on October 22nd. 3 times of sowing & 3 fungicide strategies - should be plenty to learn @BreedersPlant @AuSeednet @agtbreeding @RAGTAU @InterGrain1

Triple 2 continues to look impressive in trials and in the paddock. We can't wait to for its first commercial harvest so we can hear growers' experiences with this great variety.

New Lentil variety for 2026 “ALB Dane” (ALB2321) at the BCG Main Field Day yesterday. The recent AgVic releases have had a 🐕 naming theme, Kelpie & Terrier, with no real correlation, but not this time, “Great Dane”, big dog & big Lentil.

@agrobaz @GRDC_NVT @far_australia @AGF_Seeds 👍🤞. Impressive how your trials looked given the rainfall! Looking forward to irrigated results also.

@BrendanTorpy @GRDC_NVT @far_australia @AGF_Seeds Sorry I missed you Brendan, let’s hope for a rain very soon to let these trials reach their potential!

Week on the road in NE Vic, NSW Riverina & Sth NSW Tablelands visiting Broadacre customers & @GRDC_NVT , @far_australia , HBS @agrobaz trials to assess how new & pre commercial wheat and barleys handling the challenging season thus far @AGF_Seeds
