It seems now the 2nd Minister and Member for Fairfield (Sydney) representing the env is using rural tax payers money to gather city votes, jets, cars and all else included. Every rural community should be offended with this govt using them to get city votes.

@Fox_Farming @GribbleRC Don’t crack too many esp if had rain on them, generally a fine line between acceptable pods and cracked or skun peas.

My fellow farming/rural twitterers in Central West NSW can you keep an eye out please.

@lawbal44 @Voz_Dennis My old cattle lecturer used to say that “summer rain and agistment are traps for young players”, neither are as beneficial as they first appear.

@peters_malcolm @Kidcowboy2 What is their proper name Mal?

@CDFrench1 Have you still got your N buggy, if not the beer economy might work for the tarp?

[Tony Quigley @QuigTony]

N Buggy conveyor cover. No copying please, patent pending.

[Tony Quigley @QuigTony]

@BradenBullock Braden we assume tailwater has same N concentration as treated head ditch water as turn around back to field is continuous.
Rainfall runoff into mix makes it tricky, usually pause irrigation for few days.

[Tony Quigley @QuigTony]

@CeRRF_Griffith @BradenBullock @CottonResearch We are on 2m beds with 300mm Floodpipes through bank on 24m rotabucks, so 12 furrows per pipe.
N buggys generally give little trouble as long as have good batteries & solar panels, no lumps in urea and cover conveyor belt before 🌧️. Generally put over 200t urea per year thru them

@MickFreeman10 Similar experience on CSD Farms as I understand it Mick. Back to the future with okra leaf, who would have thought?

[Tony Quigley @QuigTony]

It’s been decades since we last grew an okra leaf cotton variety, but the new CSX4398B3XF we are trialing this season is fully loaded and looks the goods.

[Tony Quigley @QuigTony]

@turrawan Will, we apply about half the nitrogen pre plant (150 kg ha N) and the other half water run with first 3 in crop irrigations, allowing us to fine tune the total rate depending on petiole sample test results and estimated crop yield potential .

[Tony Quigley @QuigTony]

@Devon_Dixon012 @CottonOutlook What variety please?

[Tony Quigley @QuigTony]

@lawbal44 @mvagriculture Yes, just under half CNH price as dealer fit kit, but about $1k dearer than ordering as option on new tractor.

[Tony Quigley @QuigTony]

#Asktwitter anyone make a non genuine tow kit for a Quadtrac 550/600?
CNH want $10k for genuine kit of a 37 mm wire rope, a rear attachment bracket and a front holding hook.

[Tony Quigley @QuigTony]

@mvagriculture For those playing at home, tow brackets by Agriweld Dubbo and wire rope and shackles from Luke Cross Engineering Dubbo.
Thanks everyone for their help and suggestions

[Tony Quigley @QuigTony]

@mvagriculture Thanks Peter, will give them a ☎️

Great expose of Albo's hypocrisy: gets his 23 y.o. son a Qantas Chairmans Lounge membership and a PWC internship just as Qatar Airlines expansion to Australia denied and YES 23 appears on Qantas planes!
