It is with great pleasure that on behalf of Seed Distributors I present the SARDI 2011 Harvest Report. Once again Rob Wheeler and his team have put together an incredibly useful summary of the outcomes from the 2010 season NVT trials. Since we first began publishing the Harvest Report in conjunction with SARDI, it has become a very valuable reference tool for advisors and agronomists not only in SA but in NSW, VIC, QLD and WA. I’m sure you will find it handy also; If you require further copies please don’t hesitate to contact the office.
The loyal support of our advertising partners, whose involvement every year allows for us to disseminate this valuable information to almost every agronomist across the country, should also be recognised. Our sincere thanks to them all.
2011 was an exceptional season, where we witnessed the best and the worst of what nature can provide us with. WA experienced a year of drought while the SA, Vic and NSW cropping regions enjoyed a very good growing season resulting in massive yields. Unfortunately the rain did keep coming resulting in a wet and disrupted harvest across most of the country. Hence the reasoning for this seasons gloomy cover photo!
The late harvest has pushed the seed season back about a month resulting in a bottle neck of orders and deliveries all coming in at once. However here at Seed Distributors our experienced team is equal to the challenge and we are confident we will be delivering our seed in a timely fashion. Seed is rapidly moving out of our depots across the country, if you’re chasing any Pasture or Cropping seed please don’t hesitate to call your local Area Sales Manager with your enquiry.
I hope you enjoy this year’s publication and wish you all the best for season 2011.
