2-day Updates

Researchers, agronomists, growers and consultants network, share ideas and update their knowledge at the 2-day GRDC Grains Research Updates. If you are involved in the production side of the grains industry, these are events that you cannot afford to miss.

In 2021, the 2-day GRDC Grains Research Update at Goondiwindi has been split into two one-day events at Dalby (2 March) and Narrabri (4 March), while the Wagga and Dubbo 2-day events will continue as 2-day events. Because of Covid 19 social distancing requirements, no concurrent sessions will be run at any Northern Region Updates, and we will not be running networking dinners or hosting trade displays at these events.

In addition to being run as face to face Updates, the Wagga Wagga, Dalby and Narrabri GRDC Grains Research Updates in February/March 2021 will also be live streamed for online viewing.

We hope that as many as possible will be able to attend the GRDC Grains Research Updates face to face, but understand that due to venue capacity restrictions for social distancing and travel restrictions, not everyone will be able to attend. As a result, we are streaming these days for people to watch live remotely.

There is no cost to view the live stream events but there is a cost to participate ‘in-person’.

  • Wagga Wagga, NSW (CSU) - Tuesday 16 & Wednesday 17 February 2021 - face to face and live streamed
