Who is FarmLink?
FarmLink is made up of growers, advisers and researchers in southern NSW.
FarmLink gives growers the power to influence research priorities and be actively involved in the research process.
FarmLink’s main objective is to co-ordinate and communicate private, public and growers group funded research and development activities within the region.
FarmLink Background
In 2002 a scoping study involving 26 local grower groups was conducted to determine the level of interest amongst growers in establishing a farming systems group in southern NSW.
The study indicated widespread support for a group that allowed ‘linking’ of growers, researchers and advisers to better target and co-ordinate research.
An application was submitted to the Grains Research & Development Corporation (GRDC) to fund the establishment of a farming systems group for this purpose.
The application was successful and funds became available in October 2003. In 2004, FarmLink established an office and employed a Research & Communications Manager and Clerical Assistant - ‘FarmLink Research’ was up and running!
