DPIRD's Stacey Power checking out the PBA Amberley faba bean in our GRDC High Value Pulse 'HyperYield' trial at Frankland in October. Lived up to its name with average yields of 5.1 t/ha.
Good research, keen to see WA work. Now just to get crops yielding 4t without N top-ups 🤔🤔
Canola nutrition trials yield close to 6 t/ha (5.9t/ha) in VIC and greater than 6 t/ha (6.5 t/ha) in SA, both part of the @theGRDC's #hyperyieldingcrops project. Click on the following link for Harvest Yield Results faraustralia.com.au/wp-conte…
Would be interested to see how many farm businesses have P-response curves for their own land? Can't think of much more valuable data.

Some recognition for 30-odd years of breeding. Shout out to the old man for passing on that competitive streak.

Indian tariff on lentils reduced by 66.6%. Exciting that Aussie lentil prices had already rallied well before this announcement. Not at all straight forward but bodes well for trade. Great for old crop, Aussie new crop will follow bigger Canadian and Russian harvests
