Farmers’ Newsletter

IREC Farmers’ Newsletter

Since 1944, the IREC Farmers’ Newsletter, has been a valuable source of information for irrigators. Written in plain English, the magazine brings together relevant articles on research trials and demonstrations based on crops and management techniques, plus stories on policy, legislation, programs and opportunities that affect irrigators in the Murrumbidgee Valley.

To view articles or to download the magazine, you must be a member of IREC.
