Facey Group is participating in the GRDC-funded RiskWi$e initiative, that will run from 2023 to 2028. It seeks to understand and improve the risk-reward outcomes for Australian grain growers by supporting grower on-farm decision-making.

The Nitrogen Banking Project is a part of RiskWi$e, a National Risk Management Initiative. It is a 5-year initiative by GRDC and CSIRO that will run from 2023 to 2028. It seeks to understand and improve the risk-reward outcomes for Australian Grain Growers by supporting grower on-farm decision-making. This project will study various nitrogen (N) management strategies.

A project aiming to develop long term strategies to help growers determine sowing location, varietal selection and sowing timing while considering landscape, farm, and paddock conditions.

RiskWi$e Spring Cover Crop Use of Spring-Sown Leguminous Cover Crops to Increase Available N Key Messages Investigating if spring-sown cover crops can mitigate on-farm nitrogen

The Facey Group is investigating the role of soil amelioration in improving cropping system performance on sandy soils. As part of the GRDC RiskWi$e initiative, this project focuses on how changes in soil structure influence legume nodulation and nitrogen availability across a lupin–wheat–canola rotation. Through field trials, the work aims to better understand the link between soil management practices and nitrogen use in broadacre systems.
