This week on the Regional Update, we are joined by grower Katrina (Treen) Swift.
Treen farms with her family near Parkes, NSW, where they grow summer and winter crops in incredibly variable conditions.
They have 13 different crops in their toolbox, including but not limited to, sorghum, mungbeans, cotton, lentils, chickpeas, lupins, vetch, canola, wheat, barley, and ancient grains.
The idea is that gives them options for weed and insect management by not being set in a very short and strict rotations.
