Minnipa Agricultural Centre
SARDI runs the Minnipa Agricultural Centre (MAC), serving the cereal growing areas of the Eyre Peninsula. It produces on average 40–45% of South Australia's wheat.
The MAC has also been known as the Minnipa Research Centre, Minnipa Seed Wheat Farm, and Minnipa Experimental Farm. Learn about the history of the Minnipa Agricultural Centre.
Research capabilities
MAC conducts, monitors and analyses broad scale research development and extension (RDE) programs. These add value to low rainfall RDE programs.
