Knockdown miss strip highlighting barley grass pressure in a Titan AX barley crop. Knockdown has done a great job on reducing numbers and Aggressor Herbicide is cleaning up the remaining. #Aggressor @SipcamAus @agtbreeding @AlbaughLLC

🚜 @awvaterco @modra_sam identified this paddock at Giles Corner (SA) NIL exposure to Grp F #rhizobia for 3-years, was perfect to try #NewEdgeMicrobials granular #inoculant formulation to maximize #vetch #Nitrogenfixation - ideal for dry sowing 👏

The Pioneer SA Sales Team recently held some trial walks at the Cummins STRIKE site and the Riverton & Arthurton canola NVT sites. A group of growers and agronomists had a great discussion about all things canola with Paul Jenke, Jamie Wilson & Stewart McIntosh.

@BPlueckhahn @awvaterco @MouseAlert Something in the water out there

[Sam Modra @modra_sam]

Threw a few mouse chew cards out last night to see what was happening, few still kicking around. @awvaterco @MouseAlert

Going to be a big crop when the pods are like this all the way up to head height

[Sam Modra @modra_sam]

Always the find the nicest days to set up trials

[Tim Whetstone @TimWhetstoneMP]

Farmers on mainland SA will have the choice to grow GM crops from 1 January 2020 after today we introduced new regulations.

Farmers have twice been denied this choice by the Labor/SA Best alliance.

This move will give farmers more tools to grow the economy and create jobs

It’s coming down

The things you come across, some two row Stingray canola.

[Sam Modra @modra_sam]

Been a good year to find these two little guys everywhere

[Sam Modra @modra_sam]

Was happy with 19mm till I started hearing what else going on around the areas 🌧🌧🌱

[Sam Modra @modra_sam]

Good to get that out the way, now let’s get some more rain and get this season underway.

[Sam Modra @modra_sam]

@abruceleh @Zweck17 @awvaterco No very little

[Sam Modra @modra_sam]
