@maizedownunder @VictorHolistic Be around 100mm
Plenty of stored moisture this year obviously to help

[Brent Rothacker @BrentRothacker]

Summer multi species looking healthy, could be a little too thick if it stays dry

@tbriggs91 About 6 weeks ago from memory
Very lucky to get under some isolated storms!

[Brent Rothacker @BrentRothacker]

Winter canola with summer species here needed no irrigation this summer !
Get the benefit of extra grazing and diversity rather than monoculture canola

[Brent Rothacker @BrentRothacker]

Been fortunate to get under a few isolated storms lately

Every paddock I get covered in cob webs!
Young fella doesn’t like the header now!

@BrentAlexande19 Guano supplies a longer lasting P source along with good calcium, while the P from map lasts 6 weeks but does help get the crop up and going especially if into cold soil

[Brent Rothacker @BrentRothacker]

Pre watered Oats have done well in last years wheat stripper stubble leaving some cover after hay
3x 20kg dissolved urea with minerals/microbes
50 kg SOA
20kg guano
20kg map
Surprised how healthy and well the crop has gone

350m of 3 wire electric fence moving for ewes and young lambs in 10min!
Took 7 people but really didn’t want to wind up the wires!

[Brent Rothacker @BrentRothacker]

@grant_sims I’ll have to check the brix of mine, surprised if that high but the peas are thriving on the bio ferts👍

[Brent Rothacker @BrentRothacker]

@GusCamp13109821 Yeh ok I’m surprised how thick the beans are I could cut the rate back and increase canola slightly
Happy with the crop though, part of the reason for canola was to hold up the beans as I’ve had trouble with lodging before

[Brent Rothacker @BrentRothacker]

Beans climbing for the sunlight
Unsure if they’ll keep podding up much more towards the top

Companions and foliar nutrition/biology helping with disease prevention👌
