Muresk Institute

Last month, the Canola Allies project team gathered at Muresk Institute, a key location for agricultural training and industry collaboration, for a national meeting supported by the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC).

The project focuses on understanding beneficial species in canola systems and identifying strategies to support their activity in cropping environments.

🐑Lambing season at Muresk! (The most adorable time of year)

🧶Our young models demonstrate the importance of wearing warm clothes in cool weather🧣

Last week, Muresk was up early to balloon through the Avon Valley. Early bird locals experienced a magnificent view of the balloon launches as the sun slowly rose behind clouds. 🎈🌄

Today, we remember and honour the brave men and women who have served our country with selflessness and courage during times of conflict and peacekeeping.

We will never forget their contributions and we pay tribute to those who have fallen, and express gratitude to those who continue to serve.

May we always remember their service and sacrifices.

Lest we forget.

Our Director General Jodie Wallace and Executive Director Service Resource Management Elaine Paterson recently visited Muresk Institute to see how we’re preparing WA’s future farmers. 🚜🌾

During their visit they toured our stables, shearing shed, and Agriculture Machinery Training Centre, where our apprentices gain hands-on experience with industry-standard equipment.

Since 1926, Muresk Institute has been the heart of agricultural training in WA, helping to build a skilled and sustainable workforce.

Warmest wishes and season's greetings! 🌟

Harvesting in full swing here at Muresk - eight tonnes every ten minutes! 🌱🚜
