Small Grains Products & Technology

John Deere X9 Combine with header harvesting small grain wheat field


You grow the canola that thrives in Esperance and produces the oil used in kitchens right across Australia. The wheat from Horsham that fills silos and feeds the nation. And the barley from Moree that brews crisp Aussie lagers. To grow these crops, you rely on air seeders and tractors that cover thousands of hectares, sprayers that help you stay ahead of the weather and weeds, and harvesters that make the most of tight harvest windows. Whether you're managing sandy soils in WA, variable rainfall in VIC, or black soils in northern NSW, the right equipment helps you get the job done—efficiently and precisely.
