Birchip Cropping Group Inc. (BCG) is a not-for-profit agricultural research organisation led by farmers from the Wimmera and Mallee regions of Victoria. BCG’s mission is to improve the prosperity of Australia’s broadacre farmers through applied science-based research, and extension. Recognised nationally and internationally as a credible independent and innovative organisation, BCG’s research and communication activities provide evidence, support and tools for farmers looking to improve the productivity, profitability and sustainability of their farms. BCG has been integral in the adoption of new agronomic technologies and farming practices; and continues to help farmers make decisions, develop risk management strategies, increase profits and operate sustainable farming operations.
The BCG app is designed to bring timely and relevant farming information and research outcomes to mixed broadacre farmers. The app contains the latest information on weed management, crop nutrition, pests and diseases, livestock and farming systems, agronomy and risk and farm business management. Event invitations, in-season technical bulletins and general farming news will also be easily accessible via this app.
