Getting a bit tired of hearing all this talk on the ABC radio about the great rainfalls . . . 4 mm over 2 days - I won't be dusting off the flood boat just yet

[Roy Stanger @MilridgeFarming]

@DirectSeeding Looks interesting. Do you have any machines with these openers in the east ? I'm northern NSW

[Roy Stanger @MilridgeFarming]

@TWBFarms @farmerangus1 Why would you ????

[Roy Stanger @MilridgeFarming]

@bugs_are_us Currently planting Mung bean / millet cover crop / companion crop / experiment / trial - just to get some groundcover & biology happening after dryland cotton if I can . . . This years plans A, B & C have all gone to hell 😃

[Roy Stanger @MilridgeFarming]

@TWBFarms Almost Australian level of costs & inputs there 👍😃 Although we'd only be planting at 2 - 3kg / ha

@FarmAgronomy Dryland cotton last year, chickies straight after picking. Plan was always winter cereal this year . . .Now I just want ANY growth as a cover. Bare soil is just an anathema to me 😳😩😰

[Roy Stanger @MilridgeFarming]

Dry sowing some leftover Mung beans in a desperate effort to get ANY groundcover established next time it rains. Ex dryland cotton country from last year. Been dry a LONG time . . .

@therawbucket They are surprisingly fast over a short distance 😯Especially when you are trying to drag a dog away by the collar at the same time 😀

Up to 82% of maize tissue N supplied for free? Root exudates recruit and feed an N-fixing microbiome around aerial roots. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what's to come with future phytobiome and soil microbiome research! #rethinkingsoils #freeN

This is exactly where I sit on the drought situation. Everyone needs to read and retweet, one of the best articles I've read this year

[Simon Cowell @FarmerSimonC]

High input, 4 fungicides, 2 PGR, foliar nutrients- 7.43t/ha.
Control, no fungs, no PGRs, no nutrients- 7.16.
Farm standard, 2 fungs, no PGRs- 8.13.
Biological, just bio stimulants, compost tea, etc.- 7.64.
So fungicides have all been a waste of money this year, on this farm.

It’s time to change the conversation around #drought. We are not all welfare cases who need handouts & don’t manage for natural events. It’s VERY BLOODY tough, yet we will survive this drought. The public needs to see that we are mostly modern resilient & sophisticated businesses

[Roy Stanger @MilridgeFarming]

@TWBFarms I never said it was easy 😃
