Thanks to everyone growing GIA Thunder lentils. Hope it will help you for a few years. No grdc/gov money was used in its development & EPRs are the only way we can recoup our breeding costs & develop even better lentils for you. What do you need?

#GIAMetro lentils with an amazingly high level of vetch control following an application of metribuzin in a commercial paddock. A new evolution in lentil weed management.

lentils, peas, barley, oats and now our first wheat variety. all ideas evolving from chats with farmers, agronomists and consultants. vetch next year plus much more. privately funded breeding has to deliver or im packing shelves at woolies!

a beautiful day to be sowing with our dpi/grdc competitors home in the rear view mirror and a gia lightning and gia thunder storm ahead.

large reproduction rates of covid n poor areas covid mutations increased. variants that spread more effectively dominate globally. mass vacc will select variants that overcome vaccines. best to catch original strain for broad immunity when young & healthy?

Anyone want our imi vetch? No grdc/gov money has gone into gia's breeding but we have great partners in most crops. Kingbale/lentils/peas released, wheat/baley in nvt. We now need help to make imi vetch a reality 4 farmers. An expression of interest is coming & we're open minded.

What a great time to be working in agriculture, living in a beautiful rural area and spending more time with family.
