Rice Extension

The Rice Management Dashboard is built to support real-time decisions in real paddocks. Instead of second-guessing, you're working from up-to-date, regionally relevant data designed specifically for Riverina rice systems.

We've been out in the paddock (and will continue to) collecting and processing samples with the help of the DPI to validate the Dashboard's data giving you confidence to use it in your harvest decision making. Don't forget, you can do sampling yourself and take it in to AGS for analysis. #RiceExtension #AustralianRice #RiceGrowing

Finally we got a clear Sentinel-2 image covering all #Riverina #Rice fields! All dashboards have updated grain moisture predictions to help with drainage and harvest decisions. @RiceExtension @ricegrowers

National Agriculture Day is a chance to recognise and celebrate Australia’s incredible farm sector. We’re fortunate to spend our days working in the industry with farmers, researchers and partners who continuously strive for improvement. This year’s theme “Stand with the Land” calls upon us all to stand united with our farmers and rural communities, to show our support for their ongoing contributions to our local, national and international lives. #NationalAgricultureDay #StandwiththeLand #NationalAgDay #RiceGrowers #AussieFarmers

Rice quality is not just about how it looks in the field. All of these factors determine if the rice can be sold for a premium. High-quality rice = higher returns for growers + better eating experience for consumers. #AussieRice #RiceExtension #AussieGrowers
