Tony Napier has worked in the agricultural industry for over 30 years and joined the Southern Cropping Systems Program at the Yanco Agricultural Institute as a Research and Development Agronomist in 2014.
Tony has spent the previous 15 years with NSW DPI working with the Horticultural Industry as an advisory officer for vegetables.
As a District Horticulturist, Tony delivered a high quality advisory program and managed industry funded projects.
Since joining the Southern Cropping Systems Unit as a Research and Development Officer, Tony has been working on two GRDC co-funded projects.
The first project is aimed at increasing irrigated cereal and canola production by developing variety specific agronomic packages for the different southern irrigated growing regions.
The second project is evaluating the agronomic and management factors required to best manage double cropping and crop sequencing under irrigation.
