Creating a world-class research facility to advance the Australian grains industry
Purpose-built research station
Research • Demonstration • Training
100% industry-owned
Unrivalled Research Facility
Tosari Crop Research Centre (TCRC) is a 748 ha, A$15 million research and commercial cropping facility on the Darling Downs in Queensland. With exceptional research-ready farmland and superior irrigation water reliability, TCRC brings together grains industry research, training, demonstration, and adoption in a world-class facility. Entirely owned by the Australian grains industry, TCRC is on track to becoming one of Australia’s largest purpose-built research stations.
Building grains industry resilience and growth
Research
As a purpose-built, industry-owned grains research centre, TCRC aims to overcome common issues currently experienced by researchers and create a world-class facility to advance the Australian grains industry.
Demonstration
TCRC has the capacity for machinery, equipment and technology demonstrations due to its unique set-up with commercial cropping land and research-ready land. Regular field days are also an integral offering to growers and industry stakeholders.
Training
A critical part of TCRC’s design was to ensure it could offer training on-site so that the vital linkage between research and industry adoption is improved. This will be made possible with the planned development of an indoor training facility at TCRC.
Striving for better outcomes
With a focus on combining research outputs, training and adoption, TCRC is set to become a key partner in improving outcomes and building grains industry resilience and growth in Queensland and Northern New South Wales.
TCRC has a unique advantage with the ability to accommodate, plus enable interaction between crop genetics, farming systems, machinery, and AgTech research, while also being a conduit between research, commercial outcomes, training and industry adoption.
