Nice Haircut! 1st trial cut compleated at the Flynn site. The Bracco is suitably impressed. #gippsland @BarenbrugAUS @AGF_Seeds @PGGWrightson_AU @SeedForceAU @CropmarkSeeds @valley_seeds @Dyna_Gro_Seed @DynaGroSeed @NutrienSthEast @cordy43 @DuncanThomas14 – at Flynn, Victoria

ESN/MAP/Urea blend down the tube doing its thing vs DAP and broadcast urea. The ESN blend on the left cost $47.80/Ha. The plots have the same N & P inputs.192mm of rain for June has certainly shown up the advantages of ESN protecting the nitrogen investment. #ESN #SmartNitrogen – at Flynn, Victoria

As its been recently discussed on Twitter , I have tested Clethodim vs adjuvants. In the photo, left is Clethodim (no adjuvant), middle a research adjuvant (poor) and right Hasten. Without an adjuvant, expect virtually no activity from Clethodim and possible other DIMs.

It’s a good day at the office. Soil & Plant testing to budget N and K applications. Nutrient use efficiency and resource allocation are fundamentally important at these fertiliser prices #Gippsland @apallabs @NutrienSthEast @Dairy_Australia @LovelandAUS @AGRICENLIFER @AuNutrien

Out viewing large scale grower trials of Mateno Complete. Is going to have an excellent fit in disc’s for wheat. Was a big ask on this sizeable ryegrass EPE but with favourable conditions appears to be getting the job done 2 weeks since application. #Bayertrial – at Howlong, New South Wales

Soil temperature this morning at the Flynn Ryegrass Trial. 192mm for June and plots are looking short of N and waterlogged. Tissue test indicated K, Mg & Zn also an issue. Time to bring out the liquids tool bag. #MaxNPact #Lokomotive #Awaken #Radiate #EazyflowNannoMg – at Flynn, Victoria

Time to stand up to the EU. Europe can send millions of dollars of pork to Australia which cripples our pork farmers, yet we can market red meat on a level playing field. NZ has got 87% of the lamb quota. Time for policitians to play tough with the EU. theland.com.au/story/5780449…

Same paddock 3 weeks earlier. 6m drill and you can see the last of the Fert bouncing out?

Don’t have the time to direct drill with fertiliser?? Seems worth while to me if P application history hasn’t been the best. Whole paddock has had N over the top.
