Yesterday Final Feast received APVMA permit approval to use up to 5kg/ha. This is a real win for those growers with high mouse populations that are proving difficult to reduce.
With packaging that prioritises safety, Final Feast puts farmers first.

@NeilTWittwer @Rhi_Schilling I’m good at the short game, needing to do some work on my long game😂. It’s looking good, go again next year and try and fill the gaps?

@KissanJai Can you confirm obout the duties according to origin? I was going based on below from SaskPulse

[Sam Holmes @sam_hfc]

The Government of #India has increased the import duty on #lentils to 55% (includes the 10% tax) effective immediately😬. India's previous import duty for lentils was 33%. USA origin lentils will have a 70% duty.

[Sam Holmes @sam_hfc]

@Biztang Not sure...increased imports of lentils into India over last few months from what I have read. Assume trying to keep the price up in India.

90% of all the #plastic #waste ever created has never been #recycled. There's now over 6.3 billion tonnes of it.

This year #wasteless, #useless and let's end #PlasticPollution.
