Nice finish to the day after some trial site hygiene.

[Christopher Hallion @chrishallion]

Has been a busy couple of months with a big change no more big machines.
I’ve jumped off the farm and into a role as an agronomist with Elders Roseworthy 👚.
The Tech site we are running looking good, in foreground knockdown trial applied bit over a week ago.

Seeding in full swing. Oats all done, first of the wheat started.

Last of the wheat 🌾

[Christopher Hallion @chrishallion]

@ZwarFarms I got another 40ha done before another 10-15 mm to delay things again

[Christopher Hallion @chrishallion]

@ZwarFarms Yeah looks like we’re okay for a few days then it starts again by the looks of the weather apps this morning. Pushing for a lateJanuary finish again which we were looking to avoid 😑

New beast making light work of harvest so far

[Christopher Hallion @chrishallion]

@ZwarFarms 11 mm on Saturday just gone, I was surprised where the moisture was at yesterday afternoon. This is the first of the canola and getting a couple of tonne off it and oil appears to be down will see later on when we deliver it.

[Christopher Hallion @chrishallion]

If anyone is interested, I found this on the @SAPowerNetworks site. Mapped powerlines in the look up and live section. Handy going into harvest.

[Christopher Hallion @chrishallion]

@brill_ag Canola across the road about 80% damage. If calibre was on the flat I’d expect to see a percentage of damage similar to a couple other paddocks we have

[Christopher Hallion @chrishallion]

@brill_ag Not in our experience,we get to wheat late as we’re on canola and fabas for a while so not waiting on ripening. I’ll grab a photo to share of current crop and timing stage to share with you. It helped us last year.

[Christopher Hallion @chrishallion]

@brill_ag We’ve used previous frosted yield maps/ elevation the last few years and sown calibre on non risk zones and Dennison on the high risk areas. One pass 3 bin box.

[Christopher Hallion @chrishallion]

Green tinge starting to happen, oats.

[Christopher Hallion @chrishallion]

@brill_ag @theGRDC Yes colwell and dgt-p 50-80 low PBI. I’ll get large diff in biomass if I put more synthetic fert up front. Crop tends to catch up later on in the season once things warm up a bit

[Christopher Hallion @chrishallion]

@janadixon_ @WeedSmartAU Yes. Slashing a lot more, tackle some wild oats blowing in/ fire prevention. Residuals where it won’t affect trees etc new residuals when we get access may help with this, double knocking problem spots etc. single spraying some easy kill spots

[Christopher Hallion @chrishallion]

@janadixon_ @WeedSmartAU We do two options in the first and all four in the last poll.

Bit of sunset action in the Clare Valley.
