Some great discussion from the floor yesterday, and good to catch up on all the latest ag chem developments.

@lockrey_tony @jameskanaley @ApproachingAg @cropconsultants We had some great conversations, plenty of students were keen to hear about @cropconsultants

Well that explains a few things...

Old rice country growing its first cotton crop. Wheat to be sprayed out now to provide protection for young cotton seedlings.

[William Back @WilliamLBack]

Getting into a bit of multi species action with the cotton - trying to be trendy.

[William Back @WilliamLBack]

The same field, earlier in mid May. Wheat germinated from cover crop last winter- it was better the second time!

Lilliston rig doing a great job on volunteer wheat. Roll off and #cotton21 is ready to go.

@jameskanaley Agreed, it wasn't much use in the previous dry winters, but coming into its own this year.

Well if China virus was all about the 2 ply. Pick and Plant 20 might just be all about the 4 ply! Don't try and tell me they aren't related.....

@farms_williams RMW Blue, I got a pallet to try. Identical to the yellow in dimensions, but there is no tack on 2nd layer - just a strong adhesive tail at the end. It's approx 10% cheaper.

Had a practice run yesterday, should be ready to go on Wednesday; when it rains 🤷‍♂️

I think it is absurd to suggest there is a direct relationship between soil organic matter levels and profit. And if there is an indirect relationship, SOM is far down the list of factors - weather, crop, marketing, commodity or not, management - and with much lower influence.
