Olive harvest underway again, this year we’re seeing a marked increase in yield from last, one tree increasing by 2,220%. Last year showed good yield/tree vigour correlations interested to see if we see the same this year?@une_aarsc @AndrewR23497213 @jamesbrinkhoff @Alex__Schultz

Identifying and managing soil constraints webinar on this Thursday 9am. Do you have any limiting factors in your soil? Will be worth joining the webinar to discuss how you might be able to improve your soils.

Summer cropping program looking GREAT @IREC Field Station. Rice Nov 2 drill sown into sprayed out barley, 2nd irrigation Nov19 & 17mm rain yesterday. Cotton planted into green manure crop @Irrigation4P @Alex__Schultz @summitagconsult @KokeeffeK @RiceExtension @CottonResearch

Please don’t be a harvest hero. We're so focussed on getting the job done we work ourselves into extreme fatigue. Heavy gear, fast moving parts, night shifts and heading home are high risk when fatigued. Work hard but go home safe. #harvest2020 #agchatoz @GrainGrowersLtd @theGRDC

[Irrigation Farmers Network (formerly ICC) @IrrigationFN]

Join us in a soil pit to better understand soil profiles, ID soil limitations and discuss amelioration. Sam North @nswdpi and @Canola_Boy discuss open soil pit and latest research Fri Oct 23 10:30am RSVP Essential [email protected] @Farm_Link @theGRDC

[Brian Dunn @BrianDunn1287]

Finished sowing our aerobic and DPW rice experiments at Leeton Field Station today. Will get their first flush tomorrow. @NSWDPI_AgWater @RiceExtension @GrowerService

Thanks @SG_NSW,@NSWDPI_AgWater and
@far_australia for a terrific field day. Enjoyed the format, presenters and now eagerly awaiting results on irrigated canola, durum, beans, chickpeas, barley and sub soil constraints.

[Charlotte Aves @CharlieAves]

Out of my comfort zone but excited to deliver research results in a new way. Videos on ICC trials, @GRDC #irrigatedgrains & @Irrigation4P will be uploaded to the virtual field day page soon. Join me 24/09 to chat w' Nick Poole @far_australia, @Alex__Schultz @nswdpi & @Canola_Boy

[Brian Dunn @BrianDunn1287]

Rice pre-season meetings start today. Hopefully we can provide some useful information to make C21 a great season. @NSWDPI_AgWater @AgriFuturesAU @GrowerService @RiceExtension

Next generation counting tillers and eating dirt... perhaps just the latter 😄

Announcing our new "Irrigation Channel" - podcasts that brings news and information from the world of irrigated grains research and extension. Episode 1 – How do we use the data to make irrigation decisions with @Alex__Schultz
@nswdpi – Out Now! https://t.co/NJNuY2Lpkp

[Irrigation Farmers Network (formerly ICC) @IrrigationFN]

Do you know when to irrigate to optimise crop performance? Our Podcast with @Alex__Schultz @NSWDPI_AgWater discusses using data and results to ensure we optimise irrigation on farm heading into spring. @irrigation4P @NSWDPI_AGRONOMY https://t.co/NJNuY2Lpkp

Massive spread of available soil moisture being recorded @Irrigation4P sites in Kerang, Berrigan, Finley, Deni, Whitton & Condobolin. Extremes at the ICC site in Kerang which has needed water since mid-July and Berrigan who's tank is almost full. https://t.co/19yCTdKnnj

Timing is everything! For high yields topdress your #IrrigatedWheat before it reaches the 2nd node. Use this poster https://t.co/7B3SEVWg8h & match key growth stages with upcoming management actions #WaterProductivity @Murray_LLS @theGRDC @IrrigatedCC @Deakin @AusLandcare @Ausgov

Installing tree sensors post-harvest to monitor tree moisture stress - we're working with UNE @une_aarsc investigating remote sensing as a tool to manage olive groves. First-year data collection now complete @Alex_Schultz #waterproductivity #waterresearch #olive

[Irrigation Farmers Network (formerly ICC) @IrrigationFN]

Our research looking at "getting the most from irrigation water" by pre-irrigating or not and full spring applications vs 1 spring application is providing some interesting results! ICC members can visit our website to see the latest trial block update.

33-50% of food produced is never eaten, wasting 25% of global water consumption, while 800 million go hungry. 25% of farmland highly degraded. Farmers need to produce 70% more food by 2050. Good time to be in agriculture, plenty of challenges to work on
