The weather has certainly turned it on as we kick off our annual SA HYC and Pulse Agronomy field day in Millicent where we're showcasing canola, pulses and cereal trials.

Three more sleeps until the delivery of our annual HYC and pulse agronomy field day in the HRZ of VIC. We're delighted to have Prof. James Hunt joining us to discuss the building blocks to achieving fertile systems for HYC production. Register here faraustralia.com.au/archives/event…

Picture tells a thousand words... 1. Power of improved genetic disease resistance 2. Incorporation of SDHI into conventional fungicide Chlorothalonil/Carbendazim program = superior control with less shots in more resistant material GRDC South Pulse Agronomy Thanks Aaron Vague

Final Dry matter cuts on winter canola. Plenty of stem with pods starting at 1.5m above the ground. Low levels of Sclerotinia both stem and branch where crop is standing. Higher levels where crop has lodged. #SACropTechnologyCentre GRDC

That’s the last of the GRDC's HYC wheat plots getting the chop at Millicent - winter Canola up next. Thanks to Max Bloomfield and @Daniel_in_Ag, great job team. Darcy Warren MFMG

Our very own Nick Poole will be there providing an update on Hyper yielding cereal agronomy - key levers and their interactions - varieties, N and lessons learnt and Ben Morris will be talking about how we can push yield barriers in faba bean.

12t/ha spring barley yield has us very excited! Not bad for a 5-month crop! Uncorrected for moisture atm but don't expect it to change too much. Control var. RGT Planet in yellow #hyperYieldingCrops GRDC FAR Australia Nick Poole

Work is underway on the national frost initiative at our research site in Bundalong, NE Victoria. A GRDC investment which aims to enhance frost tolerance and/or avoidance in wheat, barley and canola crops through in-season agronomic manipulation grdc.com.au/grdc-investmen…

Agronomists and grain growers are invited to join Nick Poole and other industry experts to discuss the cutting edge of cereal and canola disease and fungicide resistance management in a 2-day GRDC supported workshop, brought to you by #AFREN. grdc.com.au/events/list?re…

Don't forget to join us on Tuesday in Millicent, SA to talk #hyperyieldingcrops; what did 2022 teach us, and how did the season compare with previous years? Also find out which growers took out the GRDC's 2022 #hyperyieldingcrops awards. faraustralia.com.au/archives/event…

Welcome to issue 1 of #inGRAINed 'Cropping Strategies', the first in our series of extension and education aids for growers and industry. These will be complimented with a series of YouTube videos and Podcasts throughout the growing season. faraustralia.com.au/wp-content/upl…

We're almost set for an insightful day showcasing GRDC's #HyperYieldingCrops trials at our SA #CropTechnologyCentre in Millicent tomorrow. Come on down to see what we have learnt to date and what we can do to increase productivity.

One of two trials harvested at GRDC's agronomic interventions for frost avoidance at Salmon Gums, WA.

How did three winter wheat varieties (red feeds) and one long season spring cultivar of wheat (white) perform under three different fungicide management levels sown in mid-May in the Millicent (SA) HRZ environment. Click here to find out more faraustralia.com.au/wp-content/upl… #HYC
