The Centre’s 15 hectare field site was established in 2010. The field site is a ‘living brochure’ showcasing the Centre’s research outputs to assist farmers, advisers and natural resource managers to develop and maintain robust and sustainable farming systems. The site also allows the Centre to promote agriculture and its important contribution to every day life to the wider community.
