## Projects

- [The Soil Water Repellence Project](https://wmgroup.org.au/project/the-soil-amelioration-project/) - Exploring management options for ameliorating non-wetting soils in the West Midlands region.
- [The Feed365 Project](https://wmgroup.org.au/project/the-feed365-project/) - Increasing livestock returns by grazing quality forage all year round with minimal supplementary feeding. The Feed365 Project aims to create livestock forage systems that allow grazing all-year round in Mediterranean environments with minimal supplementary feeding. In response to the challenges posed by hotter, drier, and more variable seasons, Feed365 aims to develop resilient livestock production
- [The Grain Legumes Project](https://wmgroup.org.au/project/the-grain-legumes-project/) - Closing the Economic Yield Gap of Grain Legumes in WA. The GGA Grain Legumes Project aims to help farmers access the benefits of legumes in crop rotations. The Grower Group Alliance will collaborate with a series of stakeholders to trial and highlight various grain legumes across a range of WA soil types and farming systems.
- [The RiskWi$e Project](https://wmgroup.org.au/project/the-riskwie-project/) - Supporting on-farm decision making strategies, better understanding risk and providing simple risk management tools to maximise returns. National Project Overview RiskWi$e: the National Risk Management Initiative (NRMI) is a GRDC initiative extending over five years that aims to understand and improve risk-reward outcomes for Australian grain growers through participatory action research (PAR). RiskWi$e seeks to understand and
- [The BeefLinks Backgrounding Project](https://wmgroup.org.au/project/the-beeflinks-backgrounding-project/) - What is backgrounding? Backgrounding describes the process where livestock are fed and grown to prepare for a greater range of market opportunities and to add value through weight gain. In Western Australia, ‘backgrounding’ often refers to the process of transferring cattle from the northern pastoral regions to the southern regions to be grown out. The
- [The Rotational Grazing Project](https://wmgroup.org.au/project/the-rotational-grazing-project/) - What is rotational grazing? Rotational grazing is a method of managing pastures through livestock that involves moving them through a series of paddocks on a regular schedule. The rotations are designed to optimise plant growth, with grazing time periods based on the requirements of the animals and the production value of the pasture. By managing
- [The Remote Sensing Pastures Project](https://wmgroup.org.au/project/the-remote-sensing-pastures-project/) - Groundcover at your fingertips: Remote sensing and satellite imagery for informed natural resource management. The Remote Sensing Pastures Project is an initiative that seeks to revolutionise pasture management through the application of remote sensing technology. This project addresses the challenges faced by farmers in maintaining optimal groundcover levels, particularly in the context of declining rainfall and
- [Visualising Australasia’s Soils Project](https://wmgroup.org.au/project/visualising-australasias-soils-project/) - Aiming to make Australasian soils data visible and reusable. The Visualising Australasia's Soils (VAS) project aims to help Australian farmers make decisions on complex soil management issues. Phase two of the project aims to collaboratively create a self-sustaining and intrinsically valuable component of the Australasian soils knowledge system, intended to provide enduring benefit to research and education.
- [The K Extension Project](https://wmgroup.org.au/project/the-k-extension-project/) - Determining optimal potassium levels & management options for the West Midlands region. The K Extension Project, funded by the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC), represents a pivotal initiative aimed at enhancing nutrient management strategies with a focus on Potassium (K) in cropping systems. This three-year project was initiated in response to the 2022 Regional
- [The Knowledge Sharing Project](https://wmgroup.org.au/project/the-knowledge-sharing-project/) - Super charging the knowledge sharing and extension efforts of grower groups to improve new innovation uptake and best-practice soil management. Soil CRC research with farmers and key stakeholders shows that farmer groups and agronomists are playing an increasingly important role as knowledge brokers in farming systems. Effective processes of knowledge-sharing among farmers, scientists and key
- [The Future Carbon Project](https://wmgroup.org.au/project/the-future-carbon-project/) - Using living plant systems and modern farming methods to sequester soil organic carbon, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve soil fertility. The project aims to trial, measure and demonstrate crop sequencing and new technologies that can sequester organic carbon (C), mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and improve soil fertility in crop production systems that have traditionally
- [The Evolving Soil Testing Project](https://wmgroup.org.au/project/the-evolving-soil-testing-project/) - Supporting farmers and land managers across the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia to evolve their soil testing programs. Although the benefits of soil testing are widely recognized by land managers, the extent of its adoption varies greatly, ranging from ad-hoc testing for general knowledge to systematic point or grid sampling for continuous validation of farm
- [The Stubble Management Project](https://wmgroup.org.au/project/the-stubble-management-project/) - Maximising groundcover with crop stubble to aid climate resilience. Retaining stubble is generally recognised as the appropriate form of post-harvest stubble management and has several key benefits including improving soil organic matter, preventing soil erosion, and helping to retain moisture. However, the challenge lies in retaining every season and particularly in good seasons with increased
