@s_simpfendorfer @Price_Tom97 @AaronHutcho @brodenholland Hi Steve,

Would the frost exacerbate even more so? Seems to have worsened over the last 8-10 days post the main frost.

Winter canola happy with a drink this week after a dry spell post Feb sowing. Cabbage centre grub consistently doing damage across the district however. Blistering leaves and boring into the growing point distorting new growth. @cesaraustralia

Fantastic turn out to our Young/Harden/Quandialla/Caragabal pre-season meeting.

STORAGE - SUPPLY - SOWING - SEASONAL FORECAST.

Big fan of this system working well on this farm coming out of the pasture phase.

Year 1: Spring Fallow. Lime and incorporate as required
Year 2: Early sown forage crop NFH spring fallow

= 2 years of 100% weed control prior to the first grain crop.

[Ben Lenehan @bennylenehan]

Not very often we get the chance to crop top in the Harden area. Timing has aligned for this crop of La Trobe Barley in a problem paddock. @deltaagribus @WeedSmartAU

Join us on 10th October in Wallendbeen to hear about the last three years of #HYC research and how this has given us a firm foundation to illustrate what productivity and profitability gains are possible in this high altitude region. https://t.co/e7896RScxM?

Cracking day for a district tour. Canola varieties and machinery in focus. Thanks ⁦@horsemred⁩ ⁦@RobertT23927730⁩ ⁦@brodenholland⁩ ⁦@ChrisHo01924674⁩ ⁦@EanPollard⁩ ⁦@rgkcricket⁩ for making it happen

@grassrootsag @WeedSmartAU Finding similar results with the clover being steady and now coming through. Do you think it’ll have enough time to fix any N before termination ?

[Ben Lenehan @bennylenehan]

Great experience to get across to Argentina for the week. Low soybean and corn harvest on the go after a dry season and a steady start to the their wheat crops. Still plenty of lessons to be learnt. Thanks @spraytec_aus @deltaagribus

[Spraytec Australia @spraytec_aus]

Back on home soil as we recover from our Argentina Ag Tour with key clientele from WA and NSW!

Concluding the final days of the tour were a Spraytec Argentina factory visit, Caimon Sprayer factory tour, various trial walks, and attendance of the prestigious @aapresid Congress!

Whirlwind first few days in Argentina as part of our Ag Tour!

Landing in Buenos Aires allowed the group to immerse themselves into the culture. Once in Rosario, visits to Spraytec Argentina’s HO, a local farm and a key wheat trial have educated us all. Looking forward to more!

Septoria tritici blotch (STB) has been found in wheat paddocks across the southern grain growing region. It could get worse.

Look for the telltale signs of #septoria & read up on the most effective ways to manage it in our #septoria fact sheet: https://t.co/1m2OosuO6N

Must have been cold recently! Colour banding showing up in emerging wheat crop in creek paddock around Gilgandra. Explanation in attached link. Physiological reaction to cold nights and sunny mornings when crop emerging.

[Ben Lenehan @bennylenehan]

@DMAg_consultant @agrobaz @theGRDC In crop clopyralid (where practical) or the triple knock with sheep over summer keeping fleabane under control in our area but you have to be on the ball. Challenging and would be much harder without the grazing.

When Keith Lord discovered subsurface soil acidity was constraining faba bean growth, he realised it was the result of turning away from his long term practice of incorporating lime and relying on sowing with a knife-point press wheel seeder to do the job: https://t.co/MMD7roEtgr
