Bit of a longshot but does anyone in WA have 500kg minimum of NEO barley that they didn't end up seeding this year? Need to reseed a flooded paddock when conditions allow, looking to bulk up. InterGrain Georgia Trainor

Hi Everyone. Please check this out and maybe miss 1 coffee this week and instead donate the money towards Matt's walk to raise money for RFDS. Fantastic cause, well done Matt πŸ‘ βœ”οΈ

Awesome day at the FAR Australia GRDC South hyper yielding crops site at Frankland. This site never disappoints πŸ™‚ Long may this critical research into lifting yields in the HRZ continue

A week on the farm. Never a dull moment, from full noise harvesting, to 38ml of rain, to drilling some summer crops to to make use of the moisture. Back harvesting the last couple of days Paul O'Meehan Ryan Milgate Alister Beveridge

Scenes from around the farm this last week.. hay and silage heading off to some happy cows, next seasons seed getting put away, bit of wheat coming off and forage sorghum up and away after some unseasonable heavy rain 🍻 Ryan Milgate Alister Beveridge Paul O'Meehan
