@Racing_Previews Thanks Nic and Ben - is pronounced Colhoon (Scottish)
Ill catch up for a beer tomorrow night after Havisham races and hopefully wins (I’m the managing owner) 💪🏆💰 - he loves the obstacles

@Racing_Previews Morning Nic - focusing on race 3 - maiden hurdle - why are horses like Sing For Peace/Enchanted Elle and Kialash so short in the market off very ordinary jumps trails? Sing for Peace jumped well last aseason without getting the job done, this season he has looked uncomfortable?

@PfitznerMiles Sorry to hear that Milo, my condolences to you and your family. Take the time to remember the good times and celebrate her life.

@tobymckinnon711 @TheTrotsComAu Sure did Toby and really enjoyed the interviews. I leased this farm 2019 and stumbled across the grave, hearing you on the radio encouraged me to dig up the photo.

@KPFarms01 It’s a wonder there’s anything to cut? That’s a lot of DSE’s right there Holley

@taitpastoral Research, commercial demos and extension on liquid fertiliser foliar technology. Fertiliser efficiency, improving winter growth rates, economics vs granular, environmental payoffs etc Getting more from less in what is become the second largest cost in most grazing businesses.

@JamiePursehouse @RowcropAust Agree, it could be Boron - leaching, reduced root depth and liming can impact plant availability

@allisterjm @TrentAn94382106 Only if they are inoculated or planted into soil with wild specific wattle rhizobium, I.e wattles have grown there before in recent times. N fixation will then depend on successful colonisation and TEs such as Mo and B. Point is is not the plants fixing the N, it’s the bacteria

@CasFarmerCD @NutrienTaylorTx @NutrienNHP @NutrienAgCda can you please elaborate about the price differential between ESN and Urea in the USA and Canada

[Jim Colquhoun @Jim_Colquhoun]

ESN/MAP/Urea blend down the tube doing its thing vs DAP and broadcast urea. The ESN blend on the left cost $47.80/Ha. The plots have the same N & P inputs.192mm of rain for June has certainly shown up the advantages of ESN protecting the nitrogen investment. #ESN #SmartNitrogen

[Jim Colquhoun @Jim_Colquhoun]

@pbl1972 @tterbsinel $48.30/Ha extra cost over the control plot with 100kg/Ha DAP and 40 kg of Urea(RHS). This trial is replicated.

[Jim Colquhoun @Jim_Colquhoun]

@CasFarmerCD In the US it’s a fixed rate over the urea price. In Australia it’s brought in by containers in Bulka bags which has seen it priced at almost double urea. Until the market takes 5000 tonne (Bulk ship) then it’s going to be at a big premium. It’s all about understanding efficiency
