Well said. Review the paraquat review. Don’t take away the tools we need to do our jobs sustainably.
*BIG* numbers of Rutherglen bugs in the Ballarat region this week - check susceptible crops (anything green) now most things have dried off!

Great morning out with @DLFSeedsAU inspecting a pdk demo of the HT forage brassica, with changes in herbicide options this will be a critical part of the clean up phase of new pastures

Finally seeing some of the very few summer crop in the area getting stocked - quick DM test on some #Pallaton to confirm the stocking rate/days of feed budget to maximise returns

More pink than I’ve owned in my life 🙈😂 8 days in and I think it may just have been my colour after all!

Some days I’m an athlete, some days I’m a nerd… this should totally stave off FOMO’s of Ironman Western Australia!🙈😂

Home from a whirlwind trip to @BarenbrugAUS Research Farm in Howlong, NSW. On behalf of the @Meridian_Ag team a very big THANK YOU for hosting us - lots to digest and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing a number of lines come to market!
Quick trip out to Lake Hume yesterday and the sheer volume of water boggles the mind a bit! A far cry from where I first saw it as a uni student on tour back in 2004

Comparing pasture species growth curves - trials don’t usually let you “see” true comparisons between species, @BarenbrugAUS providing great info - yield and quality tell a story!

Great to see sub clover breeding lines @BarenbrugAUS Fantastic day for independent consultants to see pre and commercial lines @ Howlong, NSW

“Good old Vic” in the foreground - mid spring here in Western Victoria, moisture not limiting and it’s nothing but seed head… Stuart @pasturewise standing in a plot of #Maxsyn demonstrating leaf and dry matter production

Great turn out at @pasturewise Research Farm Spring Field Day

The joys of expected response times… if it’s OF me… anything less than instantly is too slow… if it’s TO me no one understands why I’m pissy at 3-5 working days 🤦🏼♀️ #Hypocrisyatitsfinest
Checking some test strips with @JimShov at Yendon this morning - clear response to K and Mo in the clovers.

Even blind trials are interesting! Lots of variation seen in cultivars - can tell you which plot I’d like a paddock of even if I can’t tell you what that plot is yet!
