@agrobaz Have a look at Able Sales. We have a dozen of them.

@LachlanNass @brodenholland Many positive things could be written about a group of young, keen agriculturalists learning from the best 🤷🏻‍♂️

Given they are way more likely to lose their life at work than a council worker is there any reason not to make them easy to see?

It’s not a fashion show.

@brill_ag @theGRDC Any likely chemical constraints at depth that would impact plant N uptake Rohan? My intuition tells me after two cereal crops that there is a reason N wasn’t used (other than frost)?? Would be great to see segmented results?

@JackNeff_ He clearly has nothing to do with that pile up.

@ipaddockapps But you’ll get rhizoctonia in your wheat 🥴

@brodenholland Great thread as always BH.
IMO there is a big difference between 110 plants/m2 at 7.5” and 110 plants/m2 at 12”. Better SBU and freedom to tiller at narrow spacing. Wide spacing seems to cause too much competition within the row and heads/m2 declines as a result.

@therealbiztang Will travel for the right 🍺

@AngusPadfield @grassrootsag We have both Plozza and Horsch Tiger on one farm. Plozza best for amelioration of non wetting sands or where subsoils are strongly alkaline with an acid throttle up top. Tiger best for 0-30cm mix.

@LinkBrokering Hope you bounce out of there with a new lease on life 🤞🏻

@GribbleRC @NewHollandAG It’s a big shift in logistics. Long paddocks fill the box in 33% less distance. When the augers crop side it’s a challenge.

@Ashley_Jacobs92 So thinking out loud….+0.39t/ha yield + disc field and fuel efficiency + stripper field and fuel efficiency + long term cooler soils and increased fallow efficiency. Are there any other meaningful positives I am missing?

[John Stevenson @cropmad]

@agrobaz @drage_farms has done a bit.

[John Stevenson @cropmad]

@mdfowler100 Would Newton winter Barley be worth a trial? Grain and graze also an option with it. Winter wheat has excelled in our frost prone zones.

@simonmaechling The comments are reminding me why @bluesky is a much better platform for rational discussion

[John Stevenson @cropmad]

@S_M_Bowman @GribbleRC @brill_ag I think the discussion was around chaser bins rather than field storage 😉

[John Stevenson @cropmad]

@GribbleRC @brill_ag Please show me where we can buy a bin for $120k 😢🙏?

[John Stevenson @cropmad]

@SimonCotter62 Why are we obsessed building vehicles to carry 90% of their payload behind the axle centre line. Such a stupid design. Dual cab small trucks make so much more sense…

[John Stevenson @cropmad]

@James_Stacey_ @LinkBrokering Hope you get sorted quickly Dion.

@timmort_ @Oscarthefarmer I’m starting to miss important and educational posts due to the sheer volume of crap and the timeline filtering that’s started to happen here. There are so many excellent farmers who have left this place over the years - such a shame.
