@CWientjens @PhilWhitp4 Can't beat mixed species!

[Thomas Kent @ThomasKent96]

@PhilWhitp4 Is that maize fed in the paddock how do you go for wastage? I'll be doing something similar this year 😁👍

[Thomas Kent @ThomasKent96]

@FullCircleNutr1 Albrecht soil nutrition 😁

[Thomas Kent @ThomasKent96]

Just 47 days post emergence getting the maize addiction 🤣

@ElmoElson Maxtwo from HSR seeds

[Thomas Kent @ThomasKent96]

First time growing this stuff. Planted on our new block, every element you can think of applied, including 72mm of rain over the last week 🤞 it grows well! Gotta love farming.

[Thomas Kent @ThomasKent96]

@Waynos67 What was the variety and CRM? Looks awesome 👌

[Thomas Kent @ThomasKent96]

@agrobaz What's the options going forward with more and more resistance? Not our game but just interested with where cropping is going.

[Thomas Kent @ThomasKent96]

@matt_glennen @rob_hughes11 @Dairy_Australia I was a bit frustrated with the dairy pod episodes on el Nino drought preparation etc but I guess they just worked off the forecast. Perhaps a bit more fluidity would be a good thing. Ha

[Thomas Kent @ThomasKent96]

@matt_glennen Looks great, what was the plant population?

[Thomas Kent @ThomasKent96]

@brianjcorr1 Will you still feed mineral supps Brian? Good crop 👍

[Thomas Kent @ThomasKent96]

@JohnMat53422108 Totally agree with that summation, thanks BOM haha lucky we held on!

@ajackag13 @FullCircleNutr1 @William80414016 I've seen compost make our soil more fertile, which in turn would class it as a fertiliser I guess. It is not a necessity to contain high levels of soluble NPK to make soil more 'fertile'. Funny how we think of these words nowadays! 🤷

[Thomas Kent @ThomasKent96]

@DoolanStacey Would some of the N be leached away by spraying and dying off process?

[Thomas Kent @ThomasKent96]

@brianjcorr1 We have a meccalte, similar size. We have the hertz meter and generally it sits close to 500 PTO rpm or there about, depends how accurate the tractor is too! Can get a plug in hertz meter from cutting edge in warragul.

Nothing roots better than radish 👌
