@CasFarmerCD Yes. Also happy to pay politicians three times as much in return for one electoral cycle exclusion from gov paid, or indirect gov funded employment. Jail time for offenders.

@chrishallion Two varieties, one paddock, one pass?

[Steve Cocking @SteveCocking1]

@MeldrumRyan Day for it. Spot the local with the clip on hat!

Are you sowing canola with Cyclone Charlotte?
Looking for trial host:

DPIRD canola trial-
* Nitrogen (30-300kgN/ha)
* Density (from 5plants/m²) .
Preferably around Meckering or in 2 hours E or N of Perth.
Same trial at Katanning

Please get back to me

@WallworkSimon Yeah, seems a bit odd that the land sector sort of being expected to solve Oz emissions issues (with public $) for the big end of town so they can just carry on…

[Steve Cocking @SteveCocking1]

@WAFarmers Massive challenges growing the product, agreed. You're completely discounting the productivity gains (feed conversion efficiency) in your economic analysis aren't you? Funny those that focus on mitigation costs don't often see the opportunities.

DPIRD's Stacey Power checking out the PBA Amberley faba bean in our GRDC High Value Pulse 'HyperYield' trial at Frankland in October. Lived up to its name with average yields of 5.1 t/ha.

@dustyfry1_fry @TristanClarke20 There are much worse ways to spend (and lose) a few grand 😂

[Steve Cocking @SteveCocking1]

Good research, keen to see WA work. Now just to get crops yielding 4t without N top-ups 🤔🤔

[FAR Australia @far_australia]

Canola nutrition trials yield close to 6 t/ha (5.9t/ha) in VIC and greater than 6 t/ha (6.5 t/ha) in SA, both part of the @theGRDC's #hyperyieldingcrops project. Click on the following link for Harvest Yield Results https://t.co/FtJEgfBvsP

@dustyfry1_fry @TristanClarke20 Light it up 🔥💸 or have a crack, reckon you'd end up in the same spot next year

@peterdnewman Any view on viability of UAV prescription mapping (Single shot, Hummingbird) in WA? Stacks up well in theory 💨🦅

[Steve Cocking @SteveCocking1]

@andrewdunx @CranmoreFarming South African gov website says otherwise, 3k to 11k in less than a week. Have to be careful you're not laundering misinformation these days https://t.co/gqHTlKTRWS

@ashstewart398 Productive circle work from the younger members of the team.

[Steve Cocking @SteveCocking1]

Would be interested to see how many farm businesses have P-response curves for their own land? Can't think of much more valuable data.

[SoilsWest @SoilsWest]

Research NEWS: "How does the price of phosphorus fertiliser influence net return in wheat?"

Higher P prices leave growers asking if they should rates to maximise economic return. The answer depends on P yield response, shows latest study.

My post from last night on the two vote victory in the election for Alice Springs Mayor. The surprise result plus ensuing re-count issues show why candidates should know count rules and why scrutineering is so important. https://t.co/pybom5KsWG #auspol #ntpol

@Tomcurnow10 @bradmclean18 Thought that was the case, was more wondering out loud if the swath/stubble angle helped hold it down more versus a 0 or 90 deg row

[Steve Cocking @SteveCocking1]

@bradmclean18 @Tomcurnow10 Anything in the angle of the row relative to the stubble?
