Survey of export oaten hay production in South Australia and Victoria

This survey will take approximately 4 minutes to complete and is intended for export oaten hay producers and advisors in South Australia and Victoria. 

The feedback provided in this survey will help to guide future research to improve the agronomic management of export oaten hay in South Australia and Victoria.
 
The survey is linked to an AgriFutures Australia funded project [PRO-016615] focused on delivering a step change in agronomic management of export oaten hay in South Australia and Victoria.

Project partners include the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI), Hart Field Site Group and Birchip Cropping Group (BCG).
