I don't know of any Victorian growers but Peter Slade of Quirindi NSW was growing it last Summer. I don't have a current contact for him, sorry.

Peter Slade has sold the small amount he had, he told me he had a failed crop this year as they need a frost to kill the plant so they could harvest it. The rain came and all the seed on the plants sprouted so the crop was ruined.

Peter Slade will be at Richmond sale on Sunday. I know a few people are getting Niger from him - price sounded great - but would be worth ringing to order in advance.
