West Midlands Group is a developing grower group currently servicing Badgingarra, Dandaragan, West Moora, Regans Ford, Warradarge, Eneabba and the West Midlands coast.
The West Midlands Group is your local grower group. It's here to provide a local focus on crop and pasture research, natural resource management and the role of women in agriculture. Our local focus ensures you get up to date information that's relevant to your business. You'll save hours of your valuable time normally wasted trying to actually find the information you really need.
