Canola that established at sowing enjoyed a much needed 25mm of rain. Hopefully we see the remainder of the paddock in 7-10 days. Will make grass spray timing interesting, every year brings different challenges.
What happens if we lose paraquat in our dry land cropping system? This trial explores alternative herbicide modes of action and use patterns. F&G and NRI agronomy teams across Australia are testing replicated treatments in varied environments & weed spectrums.
Research and development for 2025 is officially underway! 🚜✨
Thanks to the team at EP Ag Research for getting the trials in the ground — looking forward to another big year of innovation at Bawdens Rural. 🌾📸 #TrialSeason2025#AgInnovation
The @BOM_au current outlook for the Indian Ocean Dipole is indicating a negative IOD developing in July and persisting until October. Here is a rainfall map of the mean of the last 9 negative IODs. If the Southern Annular Mode goes negative in June, we might get some rain.
AUS Bureau Of Meteorology has updated its 3 rainfall month outlook to be very positive for SA, NSW, QLD, parts of VIC and southern parts of WA. Fingers crossed

On this zero-till farm in the Southern Riverina, lime is applied to the soil without incorporation. Soil tests show surface lime effect but an acid layer remains in the root zone. FAR Australia is studying yield losses in pulse crops from waiting for lime to move through the soil

At the @UniMelb’s Dookie campus in Victoria’s Mallee there is a plot of wheat varieties representing the major cultivars grown in the region dating back more than 120 years.
It's an impressive collection and it's all thanks to self-confessed "wheat-nerd" Professor James Hunt @agronomeiste
From Federation to Scepter - it's a great celebration of wheat and plant breeding.
🙏🙏🙏 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to wheat breeding over the years.

With trials in 5 states across 4 growing seasons, the Hyper Yielding Crops initiative set benchmarks for cereal yields in Australia’s high-rainfall zones (HRZ).
The @far_australia-led HYC wrapped up in 2024 but led to 2 initiatives:
1️⃣ ‘Hyper Profitable Crops’ - cereal paddock benchmarking & innovation groups to help growers implement practices that boost yields & profits
2️⃣ @CSIRO's ‘Hyper Yielding and Profitable Cereals’ - extending HYC research to see if ‘yield levers’ identified in the HRZ can work in lower-rainfall areas
