The bread and butter of broadacre farming… (pun intended).
From the beginnings of agriculture, wheat, barley, and oaten hay have dominated SA’s farming landscape. And although pulses and oilseeds are now integral parts of our farm rotations, cereals remain our key exports for both domestic and international markets.
(And how would we survive without our toast, vegemite, and beer?)
Check out the range of new varieties below.
Including Kraken and the new malting varieties.
If you have seed on hand, check here to see what seed treatment to use. Products such as EverGol Energy continue to be a key choice for cereals.
If the season is looking dry, check out our tips for dry sowing.
Also, you’ll want to learn how to identify and monitor foliar diseases such as Rust and Septoria. Make sure you are also regularly checking your cereal crops for insects to prevent damage.
