David Gooden

Nuffield Australia 2010 scholarship winner

David Gooden receives a 2010 Nuffield Scholarship sponsored by the Grains Research and Development Corporation to investigate herbicide use in broadacre grain cropping.

He is one of three directors of Agoodco Farm, managing crop production for the 3600ha family operation in southern NSW. The enterprise uses a controlled-traffic farming system with stubble retention in the production of cereals, legumes and green manure crops.

David plans to study best management in herbicide application to maximise the effectiveness of chemicals and minimise losses, and the most effective chemical-use regulation strategies.  He plans to travel to the United Kingdom, Europe, the US, Canada and China.
