Always good to see the unplanned farmer trial/boom miss. Certainly gives the grower confidence in the stacked pre em and knockdown investment. Money well spent

So good seeing all the rain updates and excitement from farmers on the moisture around. Here is my contribution, been a damn long time having to use alternative transport to get on paddocks.

Another example of last years short term pain for long term gain in crop fallow decision. Grower mindset has certainly changed from ‘I don’t want to spray out too much crop’ to ‘I wish I did more’.

Better late then never. First trial in for the season looking at Pre ‘Em BL control in lentils on sand. A staple trial every year 🌧️

Was great having Paul from @SwarmFarm speak at my grower meeting today. Some real interest and discussion of the exciting technology opportunities at our fingertips

The longest day is a national charity fundraiser for cancer. Troy Goldy has organised a local event where several teams from the YP will be tackling 54 holes of golf, potentially playing for 10+ hours and clocking up 30km+. (1/2) longestday.org.au/s/21538/30…

I will be in a team with Patty Keane and Tyson Wait so feel free to follow the link and donate to our team and this cause. Not too many people in this world who haven’t had someone close to them effected from this horrible disease. (2/2)

Canola on lentil as a double ARG break. Love assessing the job this time of the year and seeing these type of results.

Weekend crop inspections. Only downside to booking holidays in season. Things are looking outstanding currently. Stay kind Mother Nature, stay kind!!!

Missed strips always give the best trial results. Ultro working wonders under heavy grass pressure @Adama_AU @AshPilko75

Fair to say we are seeing the huge benefits after the tough decision made on fallowing last season

Impressed with the job Ultro is doing this year despite less then ideal conditions on NYP when a lot of lentils were being sown. Dry on top, sowing into moisture with no follow up rain for a few weeks

A great week for putting down trials in front of seeders. Looking at some very interesting products and combinations for clients benefits into the future.
