— 28 IREC Farmers' Newsletter No. 201 — Autumn 2019 The situation analysis will be developed following consultation with local growers and will be completed in the early stages of the project, giving information about current pulse production. It can then be used to inform GRDC and IREC about gaps in knowledge or capacity that need attention such as extra funding for research, or greater marketing support. Significant information captured from meetings and interaction with participants demonstrating their motivations, attitudes, knowledge, abilities, technology requirements and their scope for change will be added to the analysis. This information will be obtained through baseline survey results and tracked over the course of the meetings. Several other grower groups in NSW, Farmlink at Temora and Riverine Plains Inc. at Rand, have initiated their Pulse Check group meetings, with good responses.
