Plenty of interest in the Lucerne variety Pasture Trial Network & @DLFSeedsAU walk this arvo at Eugowra. Will be great to see these locally produced results published in 3 years time
Finishing the last of the quality samples from the Cabonne Pasture Competition, ready to send to lab today. @lawbal44 your two here, ground up, hard to pick the Fescue from the lucerne
Cowra Acid Soils @NSWDPI_Pastures research update & bus tour to Toogong @lawbal44 to see first hand the pasture responses to lime treatments, see you this Friday
Crutching &vaccinating adult ewes today.
Electronic vaccinator has a counter. 246 doses (with a few still in the tube) from the first 250 does packet. I'll take that for the win👍
Phalaris is growing today at 450m elevation near Cudal. Sheep only moved from this pdk last week. Sun shining + soil moisture + soil fertility = pasture growth. The formulae that drives economic growth in regional NSW.
@theGRDC Canola establishment field walk tomorrow at Canowindra.
Time: 10am
Location: Woodlands (refer to flyer)
Rainout shelters have provided some great insights into dry sowing and the critical moist% required for establishment. Hope to see you there. @CSIRO@NSW_AGRONOMY
Using shelters & irrigation to adjust seedbed moisture & to ensure dry conditions post sowing.
Questions are: what’s the critical moist % to establish canola, & can seed be placed deeper if surface too dry? Really looking foward to these @theGRDC results👍@CSIRO@NSW_AGRONOMY
@newellm_matt@meatlivestock@rickchayes @DrJasonCondon Yes please. We think we know this is what is happening, but soooo good to have a local trial to find out. Evidence based Ag!
Excellent morning for establishment counts at the acid soil research site Toogong. 7 pH profiles sown to either Lucerne chicory or tall fescue mixes with serradella and gland clover @meatlivestock@PhilCranney@rickchayes @DrJasonCondon
