Bigger Crops, Bigger Budgets. How GRDC Spends Your Levy
from AgWatchers Hosted by Andrew Whitelaw & Matt Dalgleish
Bigger crops mean bigger levy collections for GRDC, and farmers want to know how GRDC spends that money. This week, Nigel Hart, GRDC's Managing Director, sits down with Matt and Andrew to explain what’s being funded, how research gets prioritised, and why profitability matters more than just growing bigger crops. They dig into the cost-price squeeze hurting margins, what GRDC is doing about nitrogen costs, weed management, and on-farm storage, and how growers can actually influence where research dollars go. If you pay the levy, you need to hear this conversation. Learn how GRDC decides what to fund, what happens at national grower forums, and why a grain farmer’s paddock observations matter as much as laboratory research.
