Round two. #WetSeason

Cyclone Jasper now category 4 and looking “good” with deep convection surrounding the eye. Will be interesting to see if he survives the wind shear he is about to wobble through over the weekend. #Lifeinthetropics

In NSW for a few days and clearly Gunnedah didn’t get the memo that it’s late Spring. Same weather two weeks ago whilst in Melbourne. #LoveFNQweather

❗ NEW tool to forecast Fall armyworm migrations.

These damaging pests migrate large distances over short periods of time. This tool uses weather forecast data to predict where the moths will turn up. Funded by @planthealthaust.

Another day in Lakeland drawing to a close. The southeasterly wind feels a lot colder than the 21.5 degrees currently being reported by BOM. #banana #Agronomy

@Richard68486556 @PlantsGrowHere Not mutually exclusive to horticulture - just farming in general, really. 🤣🤣
