About this listen

Tom Kepcevejs is a Durum Breeder with Australian Grain Technologies (AGT) MFMG sponsor, and Australia’s largest plant breeding company and market leader in wheat genetics.

At the recent Southern Australia Durum Growers Association Crop Walk at Bordertown Tom took some time out to catch up with The Prosperous Farmer. Tom dives into the two new releases of durum wheat varieties - Rimfire and Banker - discussing their performance, their limitations, their yield, and how they stack up against common diseases for durum wheat.

Durum wheat in the Limestone Coast is a positive story, with a strong domestic market with San Remo together with a growing export market.

And what's with the variety names? And what do they have to do with the Melbourne Cup?
