The Wheat Inudstries

in Australia

The imprtant role of Wheat industry

Backround

Australian wheat is used all

over the world to make different kinds of noodle like instant noodles, ramen and pastas, and different kinds and styled flours, bread, cake pastries.

Environment

The drying climate across Australia

is caused for concern, the soil is low moisture often have a limitation to a plant's growth.

The enviroment also has two main problems.

Examples of climate change

Climate

Change

• Too high or too cold tempertures

• Drying climates

• Carbon dioxides levels increasing

• Floods

• Hailstorms

When the weather is too hot, the numbers of nutritions in the soils get lower. Then it can make it difficult for the plants to take up soil nutrients.

What

happens

Examples of erosion risks

Enrosion

Risk

• Water erosion risks

• Wind erosion risks

• Low soil moisture

  • When a water erosion happens, the water can carry away the nutrients in the soil. If the soil doesn't have enough nutritions, the growth of the plants can slow down

What

happens

  • A wind erosion can be caused by a light wind that rolls and blows soil particles on the surface, then it might turn into a strong wind and lift a large capacity of soil, then creating a dust storm. Wind erosions can also cause a loss of fertility and organic matter, reduced water holding capacity and changes soil textures on the surface.
  • When the soil moisture is low some moisture availbility declines, the normal function and growth of plant are disrupted.

Australia's export and production amount

Economic

Australia produces about 2.9 million tonnes per year, but 2022-23 is expected to increase to record high 36.6 million tonnes.

Australian wheat's major export markets are Asian and Middle East regions and includes Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam and Sudan.

Social impact on Wheat Industry

Social

Nowdadys,

people may chosen health food and glue-free food for various reasons such as helth concerns, enviorment concerns, allergies, and ethical consiferations. Lots of people may buy orgnaic products and avoid products containing harmful chemicals. Some people may choose organic foods to support sustainable farming practices or use glue-free products to reduce the relesse f harmful chemicals into the enviorment.

Hence, having Glueten-free wheat products and organic wheat product is important for wheat industry.

Health-Conscious & Enviorment Concious

High Labour

Cost

Australia wheat industry heavily relies on temporary overseas workers to complete tasks as planting, harvesting and transporting wheat crops. Especially,

many countries have travel travel restrictions or travel suspension during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led labour shortage to wheat industry and result in the reduced yield, quality of wheat, and increase in costs for farming and consumers.

Australia government has been extended the vise of some temporary overseas workers who were already in Australia before the pandemic.

New varities of wheat

By selecting plants with desirable characteristics or by combining qualities from two closely realated plants through selective disease, scientists have been trying to develop new varities of wheat with improved nutrition values.

Biotechnology

Precision

Agriculture

Farmers use technology like:

Crop yield monitors

A crop yield monitor is used to measure the rates when clean is entering a grain tank or a technique in agricultre when using GPS data to analyxe varibles like the moisture content in a given field. Crop yield monitors are very helpful and valuable tools and helps farmers improve their yields, reduce costs and make more knowledgeable decision about their farming practices.

Soil maps

Soil maps

Soil mapping is a technique has became a usual within the so-called decision farming, which uses the most advanced technology to obtain the most accurate infomation about the condition of the soil, the weather, the crops and the humidity. Soil maps are a very helpful tool for the agriculture and land management because it can provide detailed information on soil characteristics that can be used to advise land-use decisions, improve soil management practices, develope productivity and achieve enviromental and resource management goals.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

Global positioning system (GPS)

You may know about the GPS in your car, phone or on other technologys. The GPS guides you to your destinationbut the wheat farmers use the GPS for farm planning, field mapping, soil sampling, tractor guidance, crop scouting, variable rate and yield mapping. The GPS help farmers work during low visbility field conditions like rain, dust, fog and darkness.

Drones

Some people use drones for fun or videos, the farmers use drones to monitor crops, map flows, survey crops and distributes fertiliser.

Combine or Combine Harvester

You might know or heard about a combine or combine harvester, the combine harvester is commonly used to harvest wheat, canola, barley and even cotton

Combine or Combine Harvester

Plough or Plow

In Australian wheat lands, the soil is often too hard or dry. The rotating steel discs cut in the soil and loosens it.

Plough or Plow

Rotavater or Rotary Tiller

Rotavator are often used and helps to obtain specific benifits of early seed bed preparation soon after harvesting.

Rotavator or

Rotary Tiller

Tractor trailer

Tractor trailer is also know as semi truck, semi-trailer truck or 18-wheeler is used to transport things.

Tractor Trailer

Leveler

Levelers are used to break chunks of soil, loosen soil and helps the water to seep into the soil for improving drainage.

Leveler

Water bowser

A water bowser is a trailer fitted with a tank that can carry Water or Liquid Fertliser.

Water bowser

Ripper machine

A ripper machine is a highly effcient agricultural tool that loosens or aerate the soil.

Ripper machine

Disc harrow

The disc harrow is used to slice up the large clods left by the mould-board plough.

Disc harrow

Sustainable Strategies

Strategies

Australian Government has an orgnaisation named 'Wheatbelt natural resource management' which it's a community to connect farmers that work with the wheat industry and provide new technologies, strategies to support wheat industries to have a sustainable industry.
