@Pontaragrain @YenelinWell The old boy and uncle in their hay day. 3x Inter 766's. Front 2 are articulated, rear 'follows like a puppy dog'.
Luckily we still have all 3.

@S_M_Bowman @WaddiPark @grassrootsag You blokes tell me which disc seeder then 🤔

[Callum Wesley @Callum_Wesley]

@CaseIHAus @Case_IH Can you please PM me so I can send you his details. I can't PM you as I'm not a verified/paying account.

[Callum Wesley @Callum_Wesley]

Anyone had dramas with rear right track (only) on Case 600 quadtrack?
Deep ripping 7km/hr 1800rpm 70-90% engine load, diff lock engaged.
@Case_IH @CaseIHAus wont provide a solution. Asking on behalf of a mate. At $14k each any help is appreciated.

@agrobaz @GRDCNorth @Pooley_Nick_FAR I've seen this many times on my farm with seed variety contamination or stuff ups. And we had 14 frosts for July. It's as if we've missed something in our research...

UV liquid through a boom and a black light - can't recco this workshop enough. Learnt heaps!

Monday: cold night at Moorine Rock under the blacklights looking at spray applications and coverage. Thanks to @Callum_Wesley and FEAR Group for hospitality. On to Narembeen and Corrigin for more bush doofs. @NufarmAustralia @Croplands @CFIG_AG

@AlexGrove680 @BreedersPlant @rebetzke_0 Looks like coleoptile is about 50mm long, so its done a bloody good job to push up the remaining 50mm. Pretty impressive given the rainfall 👍

[Callum Wesley @Callum_Wesley]

@BreedersPlant 'Dual' wheat sown first week of May down 60-70mm into march moisture, and finding some emerge from 100mm. Bulk paddocks of long coleoptile wheat are now being successfully grown at depth in WA. Well done to @rebetzke_0 and all involved.

@S_M_Bowman @SteveDsoilsciWA @rebetzke_0 @DPIRDbroadacre @GRDCWest @SoilsWest @bencrippsC97 @georgemwenda_ Mace-Rht18 is not commercially available, trust me I tried! However Longreach Dual is available which contains the same Rht18 gene.

@brendancclynch @rebetzke_0 @CSIRO @BreedersPlant Absolutely, time of emergence is one of the bigger contributors to yield in this area.

[Callum Wesley @Callum_Wesley]

Courtesy of @rebetzke_0 and the team at @CSIRO we now have the first commercial long coleoptile spring wheat since halberd! Well done @BreedersPlant one of the biggest advancements in Aus wheat genetics in the last few decades! This will be a revolution in many areas of Aus.

[Callum Wesley @Callum_Wesley]

A lot of research yet to be done, but this gene would have drastically increased my profitability in the past 4 out of 5 years, by chasing summer stored moisture at depth. @theGRDC

[Callum Wesley @Callum_Wesley]

@hirschirsch @AndrewNixon22 All I can do is live in hope! This seeder system is 👌 though.

[Callum Wesley @Callum_Wesley]

Currently have an implement hire vacancy for one of these rippers, DM for info. Delivery and pick-up provided across WA.
RT's appreciated.

[Callum Wesley @Callum_Wesley]

Holidays are done and hire rippers are pinning their ears back. Still some vacancies in the calander available, DM for info.

[Callum Wesley @Callum_Wesley]

@TyTekAg Run! 🏃🏻💨

Our annual total rainfall trend is increasing though, less winter but more summer. Maybe we need tips from QLD growers? Ping @_andersonjordan

[Callum Wesley @Callum_Wesley]

@DefrenneSam @BrianBjork A necessary evil 😅😞

[Callum Wesley @Callum_Wesley]

@BreedersPlant @rebetzke_0 @SteveLamb6 @scott_sydenham Very interesting results given the delayed TOS being 12th June (reluctantly due to external factors) and how the season has tapered off with next to no finishing rain. Been great working with you both 👍
