Um, where to put it….

John Stevenson Jonathan Dyer Kate Burke Guy Coleman Our SP green on brown in same soil type was doing double the tractor and weedit. Dust being major contributor, weedit 12-14kph @36m and SP @21-22kph @48kph. Efficiency and dual purpose are also considerable factors

Jonathan Dyer Kate Burke Guy Coleman Thinking more about this JD. Be aware that camera spray work is speed limited. On an SP you could rack up some huge (expensive) hours camera spraying compared to a modest tractor towing a small (tank) trailing unit.

For what it is worth I have been experimenting with a simple index over past two years to support intuition with dry seeding decisions. Idea is to update with new experiences. I’ve certainly found it useful to straighten up the thoughts

It might be as dry as a wooden god, but it is only April. One good rain some time in the next month still gives us fair odds of a decent crop.
Just in case you're feeling a bit cheesed off with the current state of play 🙄
