Ember barley (left) alongside Goldie oats (right) south of Wagga Wagga NSW. Sown on 11 April, and photo taken 6 weeks later, shows excellent establishment of these varieties, as well as the prostrate growth habit of Ember compared with the high early vigour of the Goldie dual purpose oat which will mature with a tall plant height with good panicle emergence.

Exciting to have two March barley germinations at Minnipa and Wunkar as part of @SAGrainTrust @SADiscoveryFarm project looking at varietal biomass for early grazing, and opportunistic grain and graze. Winter types looking great, while springs rapidly approach stem elongation.

[Southern Farming Systems @SouthernFS]

🌱 First 2026 trial is in the ground!
We’re testing sowing time × seeding depth in faba beans to see if deeper seeding can allow earlier sowing without sacrificing performance. Early differences are already emerging.

Faba beans on 165mm rows disc sown early April. Crop emerging on stored soil moisture whilst still warm.

Acidic subsoil with lime applied but yet to have amelioration (tillage to 250mm depth).

Sown early to reduce acid throttle effects + acid tolerant rhizobia @ 2 x rate.

Brisbane APW1 Wheat and Feed Barley prices rocketing to the highest levels since late 2023 on severely dry conditions in northern NSW/Southern QLD. The price difference between QLD and WA track wheat prices is roughly A$70-80/mt. During the 2018-2020 drought, wheat was freighted from west to east coast when the price difference was roughly A$100/mt.

Grain growers in Western Australia and South Australia are being urged to provide on-ground evidence of mouse activity after applying ZP25 mouse bait to assist an emergency permit application for use of ZP50 mouse bait.

If you are a seed company, have a look at our two hard red spring wheat varieties (one CWRS and one CPSR) and submit a proposal by March 27th to licence the varieties.

Thanks to @wheat_research for funding our program. @UAlberta @UofAResearch
