Chris the camera man came along last week to get some cool shots of trial sowing! Perfect conditions helping us get a bit done across the region.

Spent the week soil testing and started to sow GRDC funded N management trials. Canola sown into wheat stubble from last year’s trial. We soil tested after harvest which showed very low N so retested to see mineralisation over summer. FarmLink Research James Hunt

Finished sowing the Tallimba site today. Our biggest site this year with multiple trials to continue work on animal manures, silicon and a vetch legacy trial from last year comparing hay/BM/grain. FarmLink Research

Lots of trial site visits this past week to spread urea and post-em sprays. Very lucky to have decent rain through most of our region to keep things moving along nicely. FarmLink Research

Canola absolutely thriving in this Hart Bros Seeds trial south of Lockhart thanks to strong lucerne pasture history. Trial is to compare gross margins over three years between variety/risk strategy choice in a rotation e.g high input hybrid vs low input OP. FarmLink Research

Pasture trial site at Temora has been going crazy with the last few weeks of sunshine. Pasture cuts done today but should’ve been done earlier. I’ll be doing a walk through at the FarmLink Research Open Day for anyone one whose keen for look. 8th Sep. #FutureDroughtFund Southern NSW Innovation Hub

Keen to show off our #RiskWise Nitrogen site at the FarmLink Research Open Day Friday 8th Sept. We can start to see how does a decile 2 (low risk) compare to a decile 7 (high risk) or is N banking a better approach. Come and share your own ideas as well! GRDC

National Grower Network meetings (NGN) with guest speakers Rohan Brill (Rohan Brill), Michael Moodie (Michael Moodie) and the team from Rural Management Strategies. All welcome to contribute ideas to new investments in your region.

Tallimba site field day on this Thursday. 3pm start and finish with bbq/drinks. Looking at manure trials with Terry Rose and @NSWDPI_Soils, a vetch legacy trial and Agrisilica trial. Trial entrance near corner of Dunlops and Russels Lane. See you there! FarmLink Research

Last weekend at home together on the family farm. I’m a bit biased but has been a top performing operation built over many years of hard work. Mum and Dad can walk away from a job well done!

Starting my thesis this year on intercropping. Focusing on soil health. Keen to see if 2 species are just competing for nitrogen/water or can actually help each other out. Measuring infiltration, soil fungi etc. CWFS Riverine Plains Soil CRC
