10 Durack GIWA Oat Council Update 29 September 2017 In February 2017 a commercial milling trial was conducted by Quaker Oats for the Durack oat variety. Durack met industry requirements in terms of physical milling characteristics however the individual sample did not meet industry criteria on nutritional beta glucan content. It was not clear whether this was due to varietal or seasonal impacts such as frost during The GIWA Oat Council Technical Committee meeting met in March and again in April 2017 and concluded that the limited beta glucan data available for Durack was insufficient to support milling classification at that stage. Further testing of Durack was required to assess the β-glucan performance. Representative grain samples from seasons from the DAFWA/GRDC Oat Agronomy Program were tested in 2017 through the Australian Export Grain Innovation Centre s laboratories. In head to head comparisons against two WA milling varieties, there was no significant difference between the β-glucan content of Durack and Bannister oats, nor between Durack and Carrolup oats. While these results are encouraging for Durack, further testing of beta glucan from commercial Durack crops, grown in 2017, will be undertaken by industry this harvest. Final consideration will be given after the completion of this testing, likely by the end of February If Durack meets market expectations for β-glucan as a result of this testing, it will be represented for assessment as a milling oat variety (OAT1 or OAT2) from harvest of the 2018 growing season. If Durack does not meet market expectations for β-glucan with further testing, remaining grain stocks will be delivered into OAT2 by agreement with CBH, to clear it from the supply chain prior to seeding 2018, as a once only arrangement. If Durack can meet market requirements for nutritional performance, the unique agronomic features of Durack as a niche variety for low-medium rainfall areas would benefit the WA oat industry due to its early flowering characteristics and robust physical grain quality characteristics. Growers seeking to take advantage of these agronomic features in Durack are encouraged to retain options for either planting or delivering seed of Durack oats following industry feedback in February 2018.

11 Kowari Oats Launched at the Royal Adelaide Show Sept 17

12 Kowari Oats 400mm Most soil types Key Points Bred by the NOBP Dwarf stature measuring 65 to 70 cm, slightly taller than Mitika Maturity similar to Mitika Improved β-glucan content - 5.2% (dm basis) compared to 4.4% for Mitika β-glucan content is the same as Williams, however significantly higher groat % Similar grain yield to Mitika, but lower than Bannister and Williams Excellent grain quality, low screenings, high protein Potential Milling It will go through a significant milling trial in WA (Quakers) and in S SNSW(Uncle Tobys) in early 2018 and we are confident of it performing well. Seed available from HBA s in 2018.
