Need overland drainage advice.

Who have people used to get water to move in dry land cropping scenario to create a design to move the least amount of dirt so that water doesn’t sit in low spots? Or do people use Terra Cutter or similar software on their own?

@brodenholland @agrobaz @andrewpiper12 @FarmMile @AgrifacAU @agromick82 @YPAGAgrifac @farming_pete @richard_fabry This always gets me, I get that there are economies of scale and there are more people using everyday computers than a system tailored to ag but by the same token that should make it easier to leverage into ag with existing tech not stuff as you say is often 10yrs behind

@agrobaz @DanDixon_Ag @therealbiztang @Ashley_Jacobs92 @scottburger00 @brcagents @AlleenaBurger @Eckfarming @Jeremy_Morton_ @leigh_vial Our trail of it last year had no difference in yield or protein. Applied on its own as directed. Be interesting to know what other factors are at play that would help produce a response and why we didn’t get one.

@agrobaz @soupercocky And if your average rate was 100kg (for arguments sake) what rate went in each quadrant?

[Drew Pfitzner @DrewPfitzner]

@agrobaz @soupercocky What was your protein and yield cutoff to classify high/low yield and protein?

[Drew Pfitzner @DrewPfitzner]

@agrobaz @venningj @soilpED @brodenholland I think there is a lot to be said in what your target is, like Broden said. @brodenholland you use deep N on each paddock to determine how much urea combined with what your targeting for yield?

[Drew Pfitzner @DrewPfitzner]

@agrobaz @venningj @soilpED @brodenholland I’ve done urea maps based solely on prior protein maps. First time trialing it this year. As Baz has said there is potential that I have underfed the better parts. I’m pretty keen to analyse the results with SMS advanced to see what affect those VR maps had.

@stephensharvest With ours I found there would be some settings I’d change in the pro1200 and then not all bins I had switched on would sow. In the isobus settings on the pro1200 you can toggle the task controller. That has saved me a lot of headaches.

@ShaunBourchier What does it say in here?

[Drew Pfitzner @DrewPfitzner]

@agrobaz @Rawalak_Farms @Fox_Farming The inversion graph is only part of the story. It would be good to add a vertical air speed component to see how much the air is being mixed. It definitely varies within our farm and between our tower and Baz’s. A proper definition of a hazardous inversion would be really helpful

@origofarm @farmingfitz It’s PETG, just what I had on hand

[Drew Pfitzner @DrewPfitzner]

@farmingfitz Sounds like I need to print a few of them.

[Drew Pfitzner @DrewPfitzner]

@agrobaz @GeezaColeman Might have some efficiency issues on the broadacre front 🤔😂

[Drew Pfitzner @DrewPfitzner]

@Whyenbah @RAKwireless @arduino What sensor do you use? I assume this is for chemical?

[Drew Pfitzner @DrewPfitzner]

@cleton_paul @Mullin_95 @farmingfitz Wonder what ha/hr they can get with that especially with high rates. I can't do more than 85kg/min with our setup without blocking primary lines.

[Drew Pfitzner @DrewPfitzner]

@cropmad @desertfarmer84 The hard part about fixing that is knowing what size inductors have failed and why it did it in the first place and what else it's taken with it...

[Drew Pfitzner @DrewPfitzner]

@GribbleRC Our alternative was satellite NBN which is terrible value for money and buggar all speed

@cleton_paul @AndrewUphill @farmingfitz That's a nice looking rig!
