As the sun sets in the west, and on summer 2019, the last of my clients mungbean crops is hitting the bins😊

That’s a wrap for me for cotton 2019😆 Late block double cropped after chickpeas. Watered up 10th December. Not much cotton in at StG this season but very fortunate that there was enough water to get it home. Far less fortunate at Dirran where essentially no crop was planted.

Previously slashed ratoon sorghum fields getting the chop today and yesterday.

Irrigated MR Taurus, first crop harvested ~26-1-19, then slashed/mulched and watered around 5-2-19. A further 2 in-crop waterings plus ~150 kg N/Ha, and ratoon crop chopped for silage 14-6-19.

Irrigated Buster. First crop harvested ~22-1-19, not slashed and ratoon crop watered ~28-1-19, plus~150 kg N/Ha. Two further irrigations, and 3rd picture taken today. Will go to grain. If considering growing ratoon grain sorghum, I much prefer it to be slashed before restarting.

A66 also ratooned very well. This area was slashed and the ratoon crop was first watered ~11-2-19. Chopped 11-6-18.

Great night for a fire and a good red. Still find it incredible that 50 years ago today, man walked on the moon!!!

Dry as chips and not a lot happening, but there are a few pin pricks of green. No in-crop rain. Long, long fallow. Reliant on the left, still has some potential, and Mustang on the right. Satamap SVI - (low) - image -16-8-19 Need a rain!

Installed a Hidden Fence yesterday to keep our loyal but very social hound at home. After ~30 minutes of training yesterday afternoon, today has been a success. Off the chain all day, and hasn’t strayed. Don’t think she is as thrilled.

An irrigated crop of Planet barley, not exactly relishing the conditions...... been a blow drying kind of day!

This is a first for me, I haven’t had a crop of wheat harvested this way before. #winterchop2019 !

Some corn getting the chop today, which will soon make some cattle very happy. Unfortunately, is as scarce as hens teeth.

It's sure been a dry spell!! Unfortunately it's like that here this season, I just about know every plant by name😀 Here's hoping for a much wetter and more prosperous 2020!

Plenty of raised dust coming through today!😷

After several record dry years it’s so good to see the Balonne river bustling along again. Jack Taylor Weir, St George

Balonne River, Andrew Nixon Bridge, Jack Taylor Weir, St George, forecast to peak this morning around 12.3m. It’s a great sight😊

This is the first major flood in the Balonne River in Southern #Queensland in 8 years, and what a sight it is. It's so good for the region to finally get some water flowing through it again.

Last of the late plant mungbeans were harvested yesterday, fingers crossed the dryland chickpeas get a drink this weekend, and some of the earlier planted irrigated Nasma faba bean crops are in full bloom, and podding up nicely. Its enough to get my pulse racing!😀

Run through of Fall Armyworm damage to #corn in Northern WA. For reference, population is 6.3/ linear meter. Pretty confronting numbers. #FAW #Ord Penelope Goldsmith Christian Bloecker Brent Wilson Maree Crawford Paul Grundy @CropNorthern @cropconsultants The Beatsheet Blog GRDC
