AGT Opens the Gate: Clearfield Seed Sharing Now Legal

AGT Opens the Gate: Clearfield Seed Sharing Now Legal

As of the start of May 2025, AGT are allowing the legal trade of their Clearfield varieties between grower to grower.

These varieties include:

  • Grenade CL Plus
  • Kord CL Plus
  • Elmore CL Plus
  • Razor CL Plus
  • Hammer CL Plus
  • Sunblade CL Plus
  • Tomahawk CL Plus ** – which has been very popular coming into this season.

And it’s not just for this year! Along with all these varieties, all future AGT wheat and barley varieties carrying Clearfield tolerance will also be available for Seed Sharing. 

This announcement has been warmly welcomed. Especially given the current South Australia drought, and as we face Clearfield plantback issues from 2024 and, in some cases, even 2023.  

The change has been made possible through the launch of AGT’s Grower Portal which they introduced last year. All growers looking to trade seed of AGT Clearfield varieties, or other AGT varieties, legally must use this Grower Portal to trade with another grower. 

As an incentive to encourage Seed Sharing and the use of the AGT Grower Portal, AGT will send a $100 gift card to both the seller and recipient when the AGT Grower Portal is used to complete a Seed Sharing transaction.

Alternatively, participants can use the portal to donate the $100 to one of three rural charities: Are You Bogged Mate?, Blaze Aid, or the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
