Growers in Northern and Central New South Wales will soon be able to access a new variety of soybean - which is resistant to leaf rust. 

It's estimated the Gwydir variety can save farmers around $2,500 per hectare.

It's also high-yielding, and has improved weathering tolerance. 

Rural reporter Rhiannon Soliman-Marron caught up with Research Agronomist Dr Natalie Moore from the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries, to learn more about this new variety.
