Capeweed research update: weed pressure was massive..the yellow in the aerial image is all capeweed. Control has been excellent.. mixes and timing need tweaking but we are nearly ready..residue samples have been sent off to gain permits.. we are one step closer

@johngladigau Great stuff john and robin,
A long time coming and need to divide this years results by the bad years but reckon you’re on the right path. May not be double six’s this year ( maybe a 6 for yield and a 4 for price ) but combine with some-on farm storage and the numbers stack up

[bill long @billlong4]

@pennyheuston @s_simpfendorfer @NSWDPI_AGRONOMY @theGRDC @GRDCNorth @BradBaxter1985 Any yield loss likely?

[John Stevenson @cropmad]

Spent a couple of hours at our #WarakirriCropping Hopetoun aggregation. Proud of the job our farm and agronomy teams have done this year. It’s one out of the box for the Mallee 😍

My river system explainer for city folks. All the spring rain fell to the north side of the Great Dividing Range which is why all the dams are at >100% capacity. Water must be released from them or the dam walls will end up collapsing and decimating everything and everyone. 1/3

@kentonp_ag @theGRDC @far_australia @JasonBrand Plant density my vote. I’ve never quite cracked the code with bean seeding rates but I’d keep them down if we could guarantee a long growing season.

Soil acidity taking it’s toll on grain legume prod’n. Areas in specific soil types down into the 5’s.
Area traditionally grew wheat / canola and it’s not until legumes enter the mix that pH becomes evident.
Lentils with no lime history vs lentils with lime applied 2020 + 2022.
