InterGrain will lead the $11.5 million National Oat Breeding Program over five years, backed by $5.4 million each from AgriFutures Australia and GRDC, plus $5.4 million from InterGrain and $750,000 from Western Australian authorities. The program transitions to full commercial operation by 2025 and will develop milling and hay oat varieties.
Long-term breeding investment may improve oat varieties and supply, but it has little near-term effect on feed grain prices.
