In 1999, CRDC provided funding to CSIRO to purchase a custom built trailer to transport planter or plot harvester to remote experiment sites. These sites were Hillston, Bourke, Warren, St George, Collarenabri, Breeza, Moree, Boggabilla, Merah North and North Star. In more recent times, CSIRO has needed to travel to other sites in Qld such as Emerald and Dalby-Brookstead
