Very privileged to get to check out and understand all things lentils and SA’s unique cropping challenges late last week with #IACagronomy hosted by @agromick82 and the great growers he works with. Lots learned and ideas shared.
Carn2ac Trigonella at Konnongorring getting a move on in some warmer weather this week. Thanks to Ron Yates, Rob Harrison et al from the HALO project bringing us these new legume options. @nudenutwa
Also thanks to @ClintButler55 for info and seed bulk up. Expect a phone call pre-harvest for header setup. Have a few clients with it as well as giving it a go at the home farm ☘️

Apothecia have germinated at Northam. Canola that is in bloom in the area could become infected by Sclerotinia. Use the @DPIRDbroadacre @theGRDC #SclerotiniaCM App to work out if it is economical to spray your crops at 20-30% bloom. agric.wa.gov.au/apps/sclerot…
