The easiest way to get data from what you already have on hand is to make sure whatever version of a rain gauge or weather station you already have is clear of spider webs, dust, grime etc to ensure it is recording correctly. #WebWednesday, the Wednesday before Good Friday and

With #WebWednesday tomorrow, have you got your plan sorted to how to clean up your weather station / rain gauge set up? If you don’t know where to start head to the website below with bite size maintenance guides for several weather stations. climategreatsouthern.com.au/webwednesday/

Happy #WebWednesday ! In its second season, we were thrilled with the uptake last year, we know this year will be even better. Don’t forget, clean your weather station and rain gauge, even if that means dusting the cob webs, bug spraying your set ups and hosing them down –

Did you go to clean up your weather station and its needs a little more TLC than just a dust off? Head to the maintenance guides at the link below to get a more specific and detailed breakdown to help you problem solve and get back out in the field. climategreatsouthern.com.au/webwednesday/

The GRDC West early-autumn sown legumes are up and growing fast. Let's see how much biomass/nitrogen they can grow between now and mid-July when we over-sow a cereal. Interestingly, soybean is looking the goods again!

We are thrilled to be working with the Southern Aboriginal Corporation rangers as part of our Climate Smart project with Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry this year. With so many plots being put in the ground it’s great to have some extra sets of hands out in the field!

Seeding underway for our SCF subcontracted ClimateSmart Nitrogen Use Efficiency small plot trial! Aim to improve farmers knowledge to increase NUE & reduce grain crop emissions through optimal rotations & in-season N strategies! Excited to have an onground trial for the next 4yrs

The last of the plots for the new DPIRD&GRDC HiRES project are in the ground at Kendenup. Thanks to Stirlings to Coast Farmers crew for doing such a great job. Looking forward to better understanding rotation options in the HRZ
