After the warmest winter on record the @AGF_Seeds Big Red is evening out nicely, some serious potential around the district if we can steer clear of frosts now 🥶
Podding depth & density = yield. These late rains have pushed all flowers to pods this year. @pioneerseedsau 45Y95CL pushing hard to the end!
Tricky glyphosate resistant ryegrass getting smoked with some Glufosinate in knockdowns prior to spring sown barley. Has worked wonders here. Humidity & Temp is 🔑

Clean faba beans heading into flowering 🌱
Looking healthy and disease-free thanks to @BASF_Agro_Au Balaya.
Great to see the crop in such good shape at this critical stage.

Great day on the Altora agronomy trip to our Boort aggregation at Catumnal 🌾
Walked the paddocks and talked all things canola, lentils, cereals and spraying ops with the Catumnal team. Big thanks to the growers for attending and digging into the details on farm 👍🏻

Despite heavy foliar blackleg pressure in SW Vic, smart varietal selection and fungicide decisions can greatly reduce your susceptibility. Crops are firing now the rains stopped ☀️ 👍🏻

Faba beans getting there @Bayer AviatorXpro & Trace Elements with a @DJIAgriculture Agras T100. Big week for the drones, paddocks are wet 🌧️

Our grass sprays in canola have had excellent efficacy on grass & broadleafs thanks to warmer than usual conditions. These warmer conditions have pushed spring varieties to start stem elongation early. Just have to keep the frosts away 🥶

Overwatch @FMCANZ has had excellent control of our ryegrass populations this year. Set the wheat up for a cracking start 🌾

Group 14 damage from getting stripped from the boom can be dramatic (especially if oil is in the tank mix), but as a contact herbicide a swift recovery with good conditions can happen in as little as 2-3 weeks. 🍀 @robbert115 @CropDoctor54 @brettbarker92

Crops are off to an excellent start given the ideal break, allowing us to capitalise on our pre-em strategy in the western district 🌾
Australia is running out of Diesel, and right before Winter seeding where they seed anywhere from 64-67 million acres of land.
Australia's Agriculture industry consumes 2.5 billion liters of fuel using 7.5% of all the country's diesel production in a short period of time.
In the past 20 years Australia has shut down 6 of their 8 refineries that make fuel and are only left with less than 20% refining capacity to meet their own domestic needs. Recall, this is an island, unlike Canada that leverages the USA for its refining, Australia has to import 90% of all their diesel fuel.
With only a 25-30 day stockpile of fuel this isn't looking good. You need 58 million barrels of raw crude just to make enough diesel for the agriculture industry. Considering that 50% of fuel use in Australia is diesel, it makes perfect sense that there is a scarcity of fuel.
Australia consumes 575,000 barrels/d of diesel while producing only 75,000 barrels/d of diesel. This is a globalists wet dream, Albanese is really impressed with this I am sure.
Regional Crop Production Leaders (2025–2026)
-Western Australia: 26.9 million tonnes
(New state record; produced 40% of the nation's wheat.)
-New South Wales: 18.0 million tonnes
(Heavy hitter in wheat and the primary hub for cotton.)
-South Australia: 9.2 million tonnes
(Massive recovery year for barley and lentils.)
-Victoria: 10.4 million tonnes
(Record-breaking yields for barley and pulse crops.)
-Queensland: 3.9 million tonnes
(Record winter crop; major producer of chickpeas and sorghum.)
Globalists might just get their famine a little earlier than they had hoped.

Glyphosate and Paraquat resistance re-confirmed in ARG (1st progeny) from Kwinana West port Zone.
Photos are glyphosate or paraquat LHS (suspected/confirmed ARG) vs RHS (resistant control).
A timely double knock with Voraxor as a spike can restore full control. Check 👇

Just a short note to thank all who attended our wind swept field day in southern VIC last Friday! Moving to our southern NSW higher altitude research site at Wallenbeen this Friday. See you there! @theGRDC @far_australia for website details.
Another great field day by @far_australia in Inverleigh. An incredible source of information for the HRZ
Paddock check in Boort: Neo barley heading out strong and even. Promising stand—fingers crossed for solid yields ahead. 🌾
Wheat GS30-31 fungicide/broadleaf sprays are wrapping up for year. Good to see Priority & MCPA 570 LVE 5 days post App looking after volunteer canola and lucerne in crop @Adama_AU
