🚜 @awvaterco @modra_sam identified this paddock at Giles Corner (SA) NIL exposure to Grp F #rhizobia for 3-years, was perfect to try #NewEdgeMicrobials granular #inoculant formulation to maximize #vetch #Nitrogenfixation - ideal for dry sowing 👏

The Pioneer SA Sales Team recently held some trial walks at the Cummins STRIKE site and the Riverton & Arthurton canola NVT sites. A group of growers and agronomists had a great discussion about all things canola with Paul Jenke, Jamie Wilson & Stewart McIntosh.

Farmers on mainland SA will have the choice to grow GM crops from 1 January 2020 after today we introduced new regulations. Farmers have twice been denied this choice by the Labor/SA Best alliance. This move will give farmers more tools to grow the economy and create jobs
