@sukrutborade This is actually a sport called Long Crimson. I’m not sure whether it’s any where else in the world or not other than Australia

[Tristan Smith @tristanmsmith91]

Vineyard aesthetics on point 👌 crimson seedless shaping up nicely in robinvale

Day 2 of planting in Victoria 👌 #tablegrapes #OutWithTheOld #inwiththenew #growingcoasttocoast

Dealing with a lot of sh$t this morning. Literally. Banding composted cow manure along rows before posting and planting table grapes to give them the best start to life #FPG #tumutgrovefarms #growingcoasttocoast #victoriantablegrapes

Budburst in our new pomegranate development #intoit #sonatafarms #superfoodfarming #pomegranates

As winter approaches we concentrate on cover cropping to improve soil condition and organic carbon levels. Looks a treat too #smartsoils #tablegrapes

As an agronomist it’s a huge relief to see the fruit in a box, you can now exhale, your heart rate/blood pressure drops & anxiety levels subside! #smartfarmer #eldersliveit

[Tristan Smith @tristanmsmith91]

@JC_Viti I often wonder while I'm fixing a leak where in the contract it says we have to do so 🤔

Carbonate bubbles releasing in high pH, high calcium carbonate soil during fertigation of Nova PekAcid @20kg/Ha #smartsoils #eldersliveit

Irrigation management on the Murray has its challenges. Soil structure critical to understand to depth- often obvious but readily overlooked! Linking moisture probe data to irrigation scheduling can highlight structural issues. #soil #murrayriver #irrigation #grapes

If you want to be an agronomist, be prepared for your lunch to be interrupted every day!!!!#smartfarmer #smartsoils #eldersliveit

[Tristan Smith @tristanmsmith91]

First sign of flower in Thompson's in Euston this year. Good bunch structure purely from good nutrition! #smartfarmer #eldersliveit

[Tristan Smith @tristanmsmith91]

That time of year again! Flowering Menindee in Irymple #EldersLiveIt

[Tristan Smith @tristanmsmith91]

Not exactly ready to start bunch thinning but visible signs of fruit already in Euston NSW. Good crop loads evident #Menindee #smartfarmer

[Tristan Smith @tristanmsmith91]

@JAdamsSSDD I might back out of retirement and roll the arm over again if I can see some shrinking/swelling going on in the corridor of uncertainty

Great few days catching up with the Elders tree&vine agros. #eldersagronomy
