Slugs jumping the grazing gun on this this later sown Nizza following Easter rains. First time they have been observed on this property. Are slugs likely to be more prevalent this year following rainfall timing and two prior good seasons? @NutrienSthEast @agnovatech
Canola accidently received 850ml/ha of Clethodim 360 4 weeks ago without oil. Flowering currently seems unaffected. Unfortuneately the ryegrass also untouched @stickscleary @NutrienSthEast @QuentenKnight #newsprayoildrumcolour
Must be some feed around when the best place for the silage pits is on top of your Lucerne! @Dairy_Australia @KateKak
One shallow tyne has confirmed what we have been told. Seeding depth is critical with #Luximax! @BASF_Agro_Au @QuentenKnight @101agronomy
A grower called 3 weeks ago proudly informing me that his new bar allowed all his canola to have DAP @ 100kg with the seed and Urea @ 70kg underneath to ‘really get it moving’ Thankfully it received 4 inches of rain for April. How bad can N tox peg establishment? @NutrienSthEast
Jan 2017 vs Jan 2020 NDVI showing reduction in summer plantings south of Echuca. Not quite as dramatic as NSW @Decipher_tech @ajvagg #wheresthelucerne? #lockdownyourfodder
Jan 2017 vs Jan 2020 NDVI showing stark reduction in summer cropping area cantered over Deniliquin Southern NSW. Edward River Riparian Zone also reduced? @Decipher_tech @ajvagg @irrigation_news
So ahhh who’s keen to help move a trampoline onto the lawn later this evening?! Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄 @OzTrampolines @BuiltBeforeMidnight!

Compare the pair. Same Variety (Bonito). Same Flutriafol in furrow rate. Same foliar Prosaro rate. Same decile 1 GSR rainfall. Same rotation. One farmer retained seed, the other bought in each year. Is this a common observation in this type of season @Steve_Marcroft?
Rice layout irrigated JUNE 25. This early watering did check tiller number. Plus anaerobic conditions did slow up N uptake. However recovering nicely now. Will the watering pay? @IrrigatedCC
A broken tyne gives an impressive visual on a rate of piggery effluent @ 72000L/ha. @QuentenKnight @IrrigatedCC @101agronomy
I may have worked out how the year flies by so fast... #ThanksCollinsDiaries #SavingPaper #Didntneedthosedatesanyway
A seed nursery located near Lindenow, Gippsland. The owner stated the single vacuum tray planter cost more than his corn planter! #agrotrip #gippslandag #primaryproduction
One of nature’s greatest sights: the tail end of a fleet migrating south searching for dry windrows.
60-70t/ha potato crop and processing plant North east Tassie. That is a wall of spuds in front of the outloader!
Russian wheat aphid infected tiller and developing grains on left. Expect lower test weights for these grains?@PestFactscesar
