25.01.2022 At S&W Seed Company Australia, we test our grain sorghum hybrids under field conditions with the help of farmer co-operators. A large-scale trial is being planted at Wee Waa, New South Wales with SW11668 and the newly released Tanami Grain Sorghum being tested against competitor varieties repeated across the paddock. Yield and grain quality will be collected at harvest. #swseedco #SorghumHybrids #ResearchAndDevelopment

We have ensured all mandated safety measures as recommended by the SA Government’s Department of Health are in place, and we continue to operate mindfully, practicing good hygiene through this time. We ask for your ongoing patience as we catch-up. We will do our best to get your orders out the door as soon as possible. ... We will continue to keep you informed on your order status, and our situation. Stay safe and take care. We look forward to Monday! #swseedco

23.01.2022 The advantage of having a global breeding program, based both in the northern and southern hemisphere is that we’re able to concurrently run evaluation sites, so we’re not missing that season of planting. For the farmer this means a quicker turnaround of material going from the evaluation stage to the commercial stage, says Jo Williams, S&W Seed Company Australia Plant Breeder - Lucerne. #swseedco #40Years #agriculture #ResearchAndDevelopment

17.01.2022 When we are looking at developing new lucerne’s or developing new lucerne genetics, we are very focused on the forage attributes of the plants. We are looking for high leaf to stem ratio, nice leafy growth and we are also packaging that with its pest and disease profile, says Jo Williams, S&W Seed Company Australia Plant Breeder - Lucerne. #swseedco #40Years #agriculture #ResearchAndDevelopment
