Two very different merino and mixes cropping farms visited yesterday. Moojepin Merinos and Fraser Huse both excellent in their own right. They both have a ram sale coming up which would be well worth a look.Birchip Farmers Soil Cereal & Sheep in WA. GRDC GRDC West GRDC South

Been looking at our Yield Prophet reports this morning. It is September 23 and our yield lines are vertical on half of the paddock. The yield is set. Extra rain won’t make a difference. Amazing for the Mallee. #NewHRZ

The disease resistance of sceptre has broken down this year. What should we be doing next year? What variety is out there that is a suitable replacement?

Question for lentils growers from the medium rainfall zone. When you have heaps of water and the lentils just keep growing and flowering how do you determine the best time to desiccate? I assume hot weather will stop it.

Aussie farmers we are getting done over again with our grain companies. We ain’t stupid

Grain grower and GRDC Southern Panel Chair Andrew Russell talks about the impacts of flooding on his property in Rutherglen, Victoria, and what he hopes to learn from the experience. With a bit of seasonal cheer thrown in at the end! GRDC South Andrew Russell

72 hours seems a little excessive. Who is not showering for three days? Surely 24 is enough or 48 if we have too.
