Minotaur barley on 165mm (6.5”) rows sown 1st May into 5t wheat stripper straw.
4 weeks later. 3-4 leaf 122 plants/m2 & tillering. Crop up on marginal moisture, no effective rainfall over the last 8 weeks. An impressive & resilient farming system. Des Kohlhagen MJKohlhagen

Faba beans on 250mm (10”) rows punching through 2 years of stripper stubble at Matong.
Stephen Hatty & team are pumped with how good the fabas are growing & nodulating on stored soil moisture.

Top job Michael Pfitzner & Barry Haskins its inspiring to see chaff decks & low cost HWSC still being used.
This is a classic case of site specific weed control - chasing weeds only on the CTF tramlines. Some high level thinking in the space - thanks to the Pfitzner family.

Cowpea aphids back into lucerne pastures again. We will keep an eye on numbers so we don’t run any risk with photosensitivity in sheep. The angry looking red bull ants meanwhile are hooking in and hopefully make a dent on the aphid numbers. Cesar Australia

A fantastic resource for working out cereal growth stages, well done Grain Farmers of Ontario

Dry seeding in the west & south whilst it’s moist in the north.
How can we optimise our pre-em options at sowing.
Tune in to our webinar & hear from Mark Congreve ICAN & Mark Yerbury FMC for a timely tech update.

A great thread Pete, agros & growers now have more confidence to use paraquat + G/14 + pre ems. It started from Mark Congreve Roberto Busi advice for RR rye then has been adapted for sowthistle, vol canola etc. Improved logistics also critical eg batchers, water points 👍

Vetch grazing mixes emerging through stripper stubbles at Caragabal. Marginal moisture at sowing yet the crop is up & away. Ideal feed mix for winter & kicks off the double break rotation. WeedSmart Stephen Cooper Trevor Cooper
