Congratulations @GrainProducerSA on a brilliant & well run day.
It’s been a long time since I’ve attended anything this valuable on spray drift. 👌🏼 Great to see!
Thank you for having me. 😊
Very informative presentations from @spraydriftgirl and @DavKee43 Andre Sabeeney covering wind, inversions, nozzles, boom heights and much more. It led to plenty of good discussions over the lunch break 🌾
More than 150 grain producers, agros, machinery and chem reps at our Spray Forum at Freeling as we kick off the packed day with Professor @SBPowles looking at the future of broadacre weed control and Prof Chris Preston on social licence risks. #grainproducerssa
Calm evening, Temp Inversion well underway, smell of pre-plant herbicide in the air.
Some of my monitoring sites been 'inverted' since 4pm.
I'd suggest that we are in 'Hazardous Inversion' conditions
