My role
I am a research scientist currently working on the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) and Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)’s Soil Water and Nutrition Project.
My role is to assist growers with their adoption of soil management practices by providing the latest technical information and support to apply new technologies on-farm to increase profitability.
