With bit of weather around the central west and some chopping and changing forecasts. We are open to contract drying of grain for anyone who try’s going a bit earlier and can store for a short time.

🫘HAPPY INTERNATIONAL PULSE DAY🫘
GOA has done some cool pulse research recently with Rohan Brill & @theGRDC.
🌿Faba beans won for yield & net N fixed.
🌿N fixed from biomass amt, with ~33 kg N/ha fixed/ t of above ground biomass.
More info⬇️

ALT Relationship between peak biomass (above ground, measured at 30-50% podding) and total N fixation in 2021. Crops included = chickpeas, faba beans, lentils, lupins, field peas and vetch.
Pulse performance in regionally relevant environments for southern and central NSW.
Check out @brill_ag & @MaurieStreet #GRDCUpdates paper from 2023 on their results.

👍Get the good oil on summer spraying using Pulse Width Modulation from GOA's own deputy chair, Andrew Freeth.
...the GOA board prides itself on having skin in the game!
@adfreeth @GRDCNorth @MaurieStreet @bennyob
Want to maximise the benefits of summer spraying using Pulse Width Modulation? @adfreeth explains why you should aim for your duty cycle to be 70% or higher at the lowest expected speed.

Gas-tight storage is the only option to reliably control insects in stored grain. There’s a number of prevention options but we need a control option as well. bit.ly/3KztFxf @theGRDC
One of the most important jobs in getting on farm storage right 🧹, if not the most glamorous!
Now is the best time for grain storage hygiene, before the weather warms up and insect pests become more active. storedgrain.com.au/hygiene-s…
