The dangers of glufosinate as a solo spray on rye grass - needs to have additional spikes to assist and ideally in conjunction with double knock with synergistic pre em if possible too ✊- regrowth a major risk. Future gets trickier without paraquat @CropDoctor54 @robbert115

How do you like your wheat in the morning?

Up a healthy A$21 post WASDE?

[Gregor Heard @grheard]

@KellyAlspals Hmmm - interesting. Don’t necessarily subscribe to your view but nor to the all renewables are bad argument either. What I would say is that the blame for the disconnect lies with the arrogant vic grid /vni staff who negotiated in poor faith - radicalising farmers against them

Urea in Australia

Wheat variable cost break even per tonne

Now, 310
Before, 260

19% increase

Wheat - ASX

Before, 313

Does not add up

@LongPointy Yeah - with my ag hat on it’s a good move - with my rural resident hat on not so sure

[Gregor Heard @grheard]

Nice move for free public transport in vic sure- but have to remind govt about rural vic where services don’t exist - meaning people remain absolutely exposed to price rises.

[Gregor Heard @grheard]

@SarinaRusso Inspirational. Now if the poors would only get another job and stop sooking

[Gregor Heard @grheard]

Do the Socceroos ever play out of Sydney?

[Gregor Heard @grheard]

What a disgrace of an ad @VodafoneAU - as usual a metro brand punching down on rural and regional Australia

[Gregor Heard @grheard]

@Ouranos84 @gnominate_ @Batman2242 Can’t even vet candidates with sex pest charges yet they want keys to the bus

@GribbleRC @WheatWatcher I agree it would be great to see an end to Iranian regime rod but this whole thing feels more like an impulsive whim - and I don’t really feel like it’s achieved anything much as yet bar unnecessary death and global turmoil

[Kingsley Macdonald @KwMacdon]

Road train after Road train leaving Port lincoln to head to the mining area yet we have farmers still without fuel.

[Gregor Heard @grheard]

@CockroachHQ @Currentreport1 Or you could elect a leader capable of leading a grade 6 src?

[Martin Murray @MartinMurray_Ag]

Government won’t implement a tiny container levy to adequately fund biosecurity in Australia because it’s inflationary but will look to put an inflationary emissions tax on fertiliser imports while excluding any taxes on coal and gas.

[Gregor Heard @grheard]

Not ag related but what is happening with @theage - the puff pieces on the rich listers, the fawning coverage of some ridiculous $100g to join golf club - what was the point of that article? Still loads of great journalism, just a worrying amount of flim-flam on the side

[Gregor Heard @grheard]

@Mistadamage And let’s not even start about using some of our best country for sequestration projects

[Gregor Heard @grheard]

@sandmanute @Oscarthefarmer Religious nuts are the worst no doubt - but not just Islam - the other parts of the Abrahamic tradition don't exactly have a great track record on that front.

[Gregor Heard @grheard]

@Oscarthefarmer That is crazy. On one hand One Nation is fulfilling a role in identifying the wild discontent with the two majors but gee a scary situation if they're in a position to be helping form policy with takes like this.

[Gregor Heard @grheard]

Summer rain can be annoying - but given the outlook for the rest of the year I reckon most here in the Wimmera would take a good soak - hopefully can conserve half at this time of year. Obvs early days, but more and more models jumping onboard.
