Hey!
Don’t forget our spring walk this Friday. Weather is looking awesome, great range of topics and speakers. Don’t forget to bring your biggest marshie to enter the comp at Mundoora! See you on Lime Kiln Rd at 1:30!
VRA growth reg in barley. In the foreground you can see the height reduction. The lower nutrition sand in background was untreated, a bit of lodging happening as well. 70-80 percent of pdk received reg with two rates based on growth. The poorer areas were left untreated
Seeing a lot of strange diggings. Had plenty of mice in the past but don’t think it’s mice. Strange droppings or something left behind. Thoughts?

Could your seeding system be improved? 🚜 Come along to our Winter Crop Walk next week and compare different systems!
We’ll kick off at 8am with breakfast and hear directly from the owners of the rigs below. Plus check out some local relevant research.
See you there 🌾

Managed to scoot over to Esperance for the #grainautomate workshop last week. Was good to chat with innovative growers automating different parts of the farm for more efficient use of time. Give the GrainAutomate facebook page a like to follow along/learn facebook.com/share/g/1BvoW5u…
Soil amelioration, sometimes you question your sanity. Other times you just look at the results with a smile. 1st vid- this years spading, struggling to establish. 2nd vid was where we spaded around a trial last year and sowed straight through the trial this year

Catch you after lunch for an arvo filled with tech and the latest in NSS research.
New faces welcome!
An opportunity awaits for someone to join us this seeding running amelioration equipment. Experience not required but some machine experience preferred. Eagerness to learn and a great attitude essential. DM for more info or email [email protected]
Can someone explain to me why SA has the cheapest grain in the country ? Dry year, less grain around and heap of shipping capacity. In previous years we are told we can’t participate in highs due to shipping capacity. Very easy to buy and execute before northern hemisphere crop🤔
A very interesting and informative read. With the busy modern life sometimes you struggle to find 5 minutes to sit down and read a book. But this one made it pretty easy. Highly recommend. Well done @Voz_Dennis
