☀️ finally peaking through at Bool Lagoon. Water table in low areas unfortunately above ground level. Going to be a long winter in the southern region ⁦@GRDCSouth⁩ ⁦@IntirrTim⁩ ⁦@maroonafarmer⁩

Naracoorte creek upstream near Kyby in full flow. Another inch or two over the next week is unwelcome. Bring on dry July

[James Heffernan @JamesHeff80]

@dyerjonathan @merindie1 @BenDumesny Monitor, bait, repeat unfortunately. Often in areas of historic pressure(nearly always) and legume stubbles are worst effected in this region, close second to canola stubbles. High surface organic matter areas showing up pressure. Tillage and burning have helped, but not always🤷🏻‍♂️

[James Heffernan @JamesHeff80]

⁦@merindie1⁩ ⁦@BenDumesny⁩ trialling new slug control method at Edenhope. Another inch 🌧 this weekend should confirm strategy🤦🏻

[James Heffernan @JamesHeff80]

@BenDumesny @merindie1 Another inch and no baiting will be required. 🚣

[James Heffernan @JamesHeff80]

@RichieKirkland2 Usually reserve this amount of rain for July/August combined! Edenhope/Goroke in trouble with another 25mm forecast this weekend @honneragri @GRDCSouth @merindie1

[James Heffernan @JamesHeff80]

⁦@merindie1⁩ ⁦@GRDCSouth⁩ couple thousand ha’s checked today and large portion looks like this 👎 slug pressure is as high as I’ve ever experienced

[James Heffernan @JamesHeff80]

@LindsayAgnew @JarrodClarke7 Whoever you purchased Overwatch from Lindsay will have them. We had a couple dropped off last week to try out

Hay fever suffers worst nightmare 🤧 Horizon Phalaris seed crop at Bool Lagoon. Awesome winter growth, step up from Holdfast GT ⁦⁦@BarenbrugAUS⁩ ⁦@NutrienSthEast⁩

[James Heffernan @JamesHeff80]

@Howelly_Agro Happy to show you a few things. Sing out

@kentonp_ag @far_australia @NutrienSthEast @SeedForceAU @altmann_craig More early biomass with big red so perhaps small gain for weed competition? cesario had minimal tillering biomass, wouldn’t suit grazing IMO.
Big red looked wobbly few weeks ago but hanging in there. I like cesario a lot, something about no awns look💪.
Both clean

[James Heffernan @JamesHeff80]

RGT Cesario left, Big Red right battling it out at Conmurra SA for top position for yeild in winter wheats. Disease resistance looks 👌in high pressure year.⁦@far_australia⁩ ⁦@NutrienSthEast⁩ ⁦@kentonp_ag⁩ ⁦@SeedForceAU⁩ ⁦@altmann_craig⁩ ⁦

@andrewefridgway @Howelly_Agro @DMAg_consultant @Sheldon_Hancock @buckets4444 Looks like spear grass. Native

[FAR Australia @far_australia]

Just one week to go until we'll be showcasing @theGRDC's HYC trials in Millicent, SA. We have a fantastic line up of speakers including Dave Grant, NZ grower who'll share some top tips for higher yields in NZ, what do their farming systems look like? https://t.co/iTeP85moZg

@mrlange81 Looking spectacular 🐥!
