  As the data intensity of grain enterprises and grain-related research amplifies at exponential rates, analytical statistical methods have kept pace through a series of strategic GRDC investments.

From soil’s complex influences on yields through to detecting pioneering gene combinations in breeding trials, statistics profoundly underlie gains in farm productivity. To ensure that analytical capability is commensurate with industry needs, GRDC has made a series of special investments in this field. These occur under the umbrella of the Statistics for the Australian Grains Industry (SAGI) initiative, which evolved in 2023 to Analytics for the Australian Grains Industry – AAGI...
