Irrigation Innovation Farm Tour – Expressions of interest open
Expressions of interest (EOI) are now open for Murray Irrigation's Irrigation Innovation Farm Tour.
As previously communicated, this pilot initiative is designed to foster collaboration, innovation and shared learning among irrigators in our footprint.
The tour is planned to take place on Thursday, 13 February 2025 and will consist of two farm visits showcasing hemp cultivation, carbon farming, award-winning corn production, and advanced mixed farming practices.
Expressions of interest close at midnight on Sunday 19 January 2025.
We encourage irrigators who are keen to expand and share their knowledge in irrigation, farm layouts, innovation and farming practices to fill out the EOI.

Industry News
ABARES cropping outlook
ABARES has released its Agricultural Commodities Report for the December 2024 quarter, with the outlook for Australian crops as follows:
- Value of Australian crop production to increase by 5% to $49.8 billion in 2024–25, driven by higher production.
- Australian crop production to increase in 2024–25 despite drier than expected conditions in south-eastern Australia.
- Value and volume of crop exports to fall, reflecting falling prices and exportable supplies.
- World crop prices to ease in 2024–25 with high global supply, but likely to remain historically elevated.
