@RobinMSchaefer Any urea needed , blend the two to get high enough volume product to spread ?

[ian koch @iank1963]

@bscomet22 @agriprof Nil fertiliser in those rows?
Stubble residue from previous year?
Sowing depth - ?

@CropDoctor54 @YPAGAgronomy @WeedSmartAU @DMAg_consultant @agrobaz @grassrootsag @congreve_mark Would agree with your assessment. The fact that pre ems have pretty much worked to the best of their potential so far this year, would suggest burn= No Chem.

@Moodie_ag @kentonp_ag @JasonBrand @GRDCSouth Trifluralin not an option?

@MerrettContract Think you have it wrong , if 36 mt spread and 0.5 m of squash per tyre x2 = 1m of total squash.
1/36= 0.0278x 100 = 2.78 % squash per run. If 5 t/ha x $300/mt = $1500/ha $1500/0.0278= $41.70/ha of squash. Moving to 3 mt width doesn’t change that, spreading width increase will.

About 15 years ago as a kid I remember driving with my dad/sister to chat with a farmer near Lake King about their latest 'GPS' technology.

Now, driving just near Hyden dad comes across a @SwarmFarm robot spot spraying weeds in fallow.

What will we see in 15 years time?

[ian koch @iank1963]

@cgfarms Double knock is best control , unfortunately. Also think the horse has bolted, with its spread everywhere. Major problem in around 5 years☹️

[ian koch @iank1963]

@bvst7dxxpk @Your_Avg_Punter My thoughts exactly 😂

[ian koch @iank1963]

@adasYEN @kentonp_ag @GWR Details, inputs , rainfall/ irrigation?, paddock history for last 5 years at least, paddock size. A good result but in context to what!!
