We’re going to need a very high level of detail on header setup with this years crop here. Going to be important to get what we can whilst maintaining efficiencies 😳. 26 is going to be an armwrestle to the end.

A kaleidoscope of colour in the lupin trials at Underbool today. Part of a @theGRDC and AgVic program looking at protein content and other attributes in pulse grain.

Great to be part of the conversations and see all the great work that has been done to get some great lentil crops on the EP…😁 Well done all
Cracker day looking at lentils, acidity, sodicity and crop rotation implications. Not just yield but soil health, nutrition and disease interactions #bigpicture. Well done ⁦@ag_eyre⁩ team

Five years after deep ripping to 1.2m to address water logging in lentils.. the deep treatment is still visible.. @SAGrainTrust

A bitter pill to swallow when nodulation failure occurs in pulses. This block of fabas was timely sown into moisture in April. pH of 4.7-5 but the rhizobia did not fire potentially due to a shelf life issue. Crop will yield poorly & miss out on legacy N for the next 2-3 years.

Another fantastic Soils Masterclass from @Mel_Fraser1 yesterday upskilling Vic Mallee Millewa farmers on soil constraint diagnosis, soil management and amelioration. Oh and the dreaded acid throttle reared its head again😬 soilhub.com.au/ @MalleeCMA @NASManangOuyen

Still seeing some nice P rate responses from MAP this year at Underbool. Selecting seed from higher P in previous years helps too🤔😁 @DMAg_consultant

Great to see the Underbool area in great shape leading into spring. Lots of soil amelioration paying off to combat soil constraints and solid nutritional programs. Still full profile of moisture & let’s hope it all finishes 🤞 🌱@JasonBrand @aikman_garth @harry_simpson11

Plenty of action this week at the @NASManangOuyen Underbool and Millewa trial sites with our mid season field days. The sites are looking a picture with 30-40 mm across the region. Also great to see @JasonBrand impressive range of pulse agronomy trials at Underbool as well.

The good, the bad and the ugly of growing lentils on a full bucket. Challenge now is not to let the grass in these areas go nuts and set seed. Medic and ryegrass not phased by the wet. Anything green is looking good though!

P rate trials in lentils- higher pH soils an eye opener for biomass response. Yield will have the final say but always good to ground truth 🌱 and follow up N legacy effect @CropDoctor54 @SeanM_DMAg_SA @soilpED @gsandral @JasonBrand

Haven’t seen this before. BGM ripping into most patches of tares in a vetch crop.

Always good to review P rate field scale trials on high pH soil types -lots to learn in the field and on the yield monitor come harvest 🖥️ 🌾 @gsandral @CropDoctor54 @SeanM_DMAg_SA @AndrewDMAgro @MattElliott3232 @DSchub11 @brettbarker92

Lentils - some soil types are tough going with wet conditions - hence why some areas grow 🫘 beans as a pulse type. Southern mallee can get wet at times ☔️. No complaints ! @JasonBrand @CropDoctor54 @agrobaz @brettbarker92 @SeanM_DMAg_SA @grassrootsag

Ran out of the MAP/MOP fertiliser mix on the last run and thinking not much of it.... First time i have ever seen a significantly visual no fert strip on my farm but makes sense, avg yields significantly higher in the past 5 years but fertiliser is not lifting at the same rate.

Loving the reports from Loxton this year - about time for this region. Here a vetch crop that has been grazed and still booming ahead. Let’s home the amazing potential comes home 🏠 @jock_mcneil @RobinMSchaefer @JasonBrand @FanningJosh_ @SeanM_DMAg_SA @DSchub11
