Spring 2025: be prepared, protect your harvest

As harvest time approaches, growers are looking ahead to the challenges that could affect this year’s crops. While the weather is outside your control, biosecurity is one area where you can take practical steps to protect your farm and your business.

Plant Health Australia (PHA), the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and Grain Producers Australia (GPA) have partnered to deliver a new webinar series focused on biosecurity in the grains industry.

The first webinar in the series, Grains biosecurity awareness – spring 2025, will run from 9.00 am to 10.00 am on Tuesday 30 September.

The session will cover:

  • key biosecurity threats to grains for spring 2025
  • simple steps you can take to reduce risk on your farm
  • how biosecurity supports a strong and profitable industry
  • who to contact if you see something unusual in your crops
  • upcoming activities to help build industry preparedness.

The webinar will also outline how PHA, the GRDC and GPA are working together to strengthen biosecurity across the grains industry.

This is a free online session open to all growers, advisers and others working in the grains industry.
