MIG was formed in 1997 based on a need for locally driven Research and Development. The group has grown substantially. In recent years MIG’s trial program has included approximately 70 trials, with up to 350 people attending field days throughout the year. The group now employs four operational staff who work on a variety of funded projects to provide services to members.
The group has a Research and Development committee and an Environmental Division.
Field trials and demonstrations are core business for the group.
MIG has three main focus areas:
1. Research
2. Information, Education and Extension
3. Environment
