Great day out at Local Research Updates - Walpeup ⁦with 55 growers and agros Michael Moodie⁩ ⁦Kenton Porker⁩

Great to share information from local GRDC South research projects to over 80 Mallee farmers and agronomists this week at Walpeup and Tooleybuc. Thanks for collaborating and presenting at these events SouthernPulse Kenton Porker Birchip Cropping Group (BCG).

🎙️ NEW PODCAST Yield & performance rely heavily on good crop establishment. Getting the settings & sowing depth right when conditions are hot and dry, or across different soil textures and environments is no easy feat. Join CSIRO farming systems researcher Dr Kenton Porker

It’s a good feeling when you’re in a crowd of 80 farmers and their consultant is using your trial data to support their advice. Data from the GRDC South Profitable Yield Frontiers project highlights the opportunities in a tough season from well managed systems. Kenton Porker

Vic & SA growers with sandy soils in the low and medium rainfall zones are rapidly adopting strategic soil amelioration. And with good reason. The practices are backed by trial data and research from across the region. The research has resulted in a comprehensive manual to help

Up and away with this year’s trial program. Spreading lime for an another large paddock scale trial at Walpeup as part of the GRDC South Sandy Soils project. Measuring soil amelioration responses across paddock zones. Never had to buy trial site inputs by the road train before😬

Plant 2025 underway for GRDC Canola Establishment. Last year we could establish crops on between 5-10mm of water at this time of year. This year …. I think it’s going to take more! Back in 4 days ….

Awesome footage by Stacey from Stacey Solomon of the Ag. Machinery R&D Centre - AMRDC Active Inclusion Ripping system working in the Vic Mallee. We are combining this with nutrition treatments to build fertility and push yield frontiers for the GRDC South #sandysoils project Therese Mcbeath Kenton Porker

Kenton Porker GRDC De-Risking dry seeding. Timely research over the past couple of years👍

Another GRDC Sandy Soils II long term site being set up near Balaklava SA… Removing physical constraints 🥊👊 with the UniSA engineering team!!

1 solitary Canola seedling “survived” since sowing 3rd Apr into different water potentials (up to 15mm of “rainfall”) in SA Mallee despite 10-30% germ. Highlights how the rules change with early sowing in the absence of subsoil moisture in hot & dry seedbeds! GRDC CSIRO

The 22nd Australian Brassica Conference is on July 2025 in what's turning out to be a challenging autumn for Canola in the South. I'll be there... I will say it's dangerous inviting someone who is crop agnostic be the plenary speaker 😁 Register here brassicaconference.com.au/abstracts/

I will be online for this one, bring questions which may or may not be able to answer :)

Agronomist Michael Moodie has been running trials in SA’s Murray Mallee region to ensure #legumes don’t become a weak link in the farming system. He is part of a PIRSA project trying to close the 40% gap between the current legume yields + known water-limited yield potential.

After an incredible 30-year journey with IPF, we bid farewell to Jim Laycock James Laycock, our Senior Technical Agronomist. His expertise in agronomy, nutrient and soil management made a profound impact across the communities of NSW. We wish Jim all the best in retirement!

Col has gone above and beyond 👌
