2022 & 2023 Hyper Yielding Crops Paddock Data

This dataset contains agronomic benchmarking data from the 2022 and 2023 GRDC Hyper Yielding Crops (HYC) Awards, which aimed to drive adoption and scale up learnings from the HYC project by engaging growers across high-yielding regions of southern Australia. Over 330 wheat and barley paddocks were assessed across SA, TAS, VIC, and WA, with detailed data collected on yield, grain quality, crop inputs, management practices, soil characteristics, and yield components. Data are presented in Excel files, organised by site ID, location, crop type, and variety, and include assessments such as sowing and harvest details, fertiliser and chemical use, soil nutrients, and grain characteristics. The dataset is self-describing, with assessment descriptions and units detailed in a ‘Read Me’ tab. Data were collected through grower engagement and regional project officers, with analysis conducted by FAR Australia and data managed through the HYC portal developed by CeRDI. Access to this dataset is subject to agreement by data co-owners.
