In addition, through our research partners SARDI, we carry out various extension activities around the GRDC National Variety Trial sites across the South-East region.

MFMG would again like to acknowledge the SARDI New Variety Agronomy (NVA) team at Struan; as our preferred research partner, they allow the group to add value to our sites with the inclusion of various National Variety Trials (NVT).
