GRDC Grains Research Update (Dalby)
In 2021, to better manage risks associated with COVID-19, the 2-day GRDC Grains Research Update at Goondiwindi has been split into two one-day events at Dalby (2 March) and Narrabri (4 March). If you are involved in the production side of the grains industry, these are events that you cannot afford to miss. Come along and hear the latest grains research information, share ideas and update your knowledge. Numbers could be quite constrained as a result of COVID-19, so book early to avoid disappointment. For those who can’t attend, we will be livestreaming both the Narrabri and Dalby Updates free of charge.

Live stream of the events
In addition to being run as face to face Updates, the Dalby GRDC Grains Research Update on the 2nd of March 2021 and the Narrabri GRDC Grains Research Update on the 4th of March 2021 will also be live streamed for online viewing.
We hope that as many as possible will be able to attend the GRDC Grains Research Updates face to face but understand that due to venue capacity restrictions for social distancing and travel restrictions, not everyone will be able to attend. As a result, we are streaming these days for people to watch live remotely.
Those that register for the live stream will receive a link to the live stream close to the event. You will be able to ask questions and interact with speakers and hear questions from the audience. If you are not able to make it face to face, why not watch it with a group of your clients or colleagues?
