Leading Edge is the journal of the Society for Engineering in Agriculture.

Leading Edge is a section published in three bi-monthly publications (Greenmount Press, Toowoomba) available widely at newsagents:

• Australian Grain
• Australian Sugarcane
• Australian Cottongrower

A subscription to one of these publications (nominated by the member) is included in the annual subscription.

Members are encouraged to submit articles for publication in Leading Edge, to reach a wide farming readership and to raise the profile of SEAg and themselves.

Below is a list of past editions.  This has been done because not all Leading Edge articles are printed in all publications, and so may have been missed.  The list also provides a central reference for the Society's journal.

Note that these are scans of the published sections.  So, they will tend to be large downloads.  Until we find a volunteer to do the conversion into text, they are not searchable.  

Images such as these lose readibility when resized, so they are presented in their native width of ~1200 pixels.  They are best read with a screen setting of 1280x1024 (if available).

The naming convention is as follows:

First two characters are Co (Cotton), Gr (Grain), or Su (Sugar).

Next six characters are volume and number information.

Last two characters give the year.
