2021 David Roget Winner

Mallee Sustainable Farming is proud to announce Jason Brand, Senior Researcher with Agriculture Victoria, as the 2021 winner of the David Roget award for Excellence.

Jason was presented the David Roget Award at the Mildura Mallee Research Update on February 3, 2021.

Jason Brand leads the Southern Pulse Agronomy Program and is heavily involved in extension services to growers across the region and delivers field days and other initiatives in an informative and practical way. He has been recognised as approaching this extension work in a balanced way and has developed management packages to help farmers achieve optimal results with what are now key cornerstones of modern farming systems.

Jason was nominated for the award for not only the instrumental role he has played in the development and extension of the Australian pulse industry but also for his work in attracting young people into grains research as graduates, PhD students and technical staff. For these reasons MSF believes Jason is an excellent candidate for the award.
