With storm incoming, checking the canola, found a double pod. I’m guessing that’s the equivalent of a four leaf clover for crops - good luck everyone! #stormlotto #moist #sharrowpastoral

So many options for mixed farms here
🐑 Dual-purpose crops can increase profit by $100 to $300 per farm hectare when managed well. In the latest GRDC video, @deltaagribus agronomists Tim Condon and Ben Lenehan join growers Max O’Connor, Brad Kavanagh and Ben Lane to share practical lessons on making dual-purpose systems work. The video complements GRDC’s 20 Tips for dual-purpose crops publication, compiled by @CSIRO. 🎥 Watch the video: bit.ly/4xHF7ws 🔗 Read 20 Tips for dual-purpose crops: bit.ly/46xpAFB #GRDCVideo #DualPurposeCrops #MixedFarming

A big thanks to @brill_ag for insights at Grassroots Ag spring farmwalk. Another quality trial on faba P rates, sowing times & new varieties. 10t lentil biomass was incredible. Thanks to the Curry family & @karrawarra for their time on vetch grazing mixes & feedlotting lambs

Vetch powering into spring with flowers, nodules & plenty of biomass. Expecting solid N fixation for future seasons. Surprisingly a low pressure year for diseases such as grey mould. Growers now pulling the lever on cutting for hay, spray fallowing or running through to grain.

Quandi @GRDC_NVT 👌👌. #Oat planted correct time with early wheat and not stuck with main season dogma. Thxs @kalyx_australia Goldie (R), Minnie (L) mid boot, few days later than Gregory and Lancer. Pix 2, Long season oat (R) at zad 37 is great fit around here.

Maurie’s not just having a guess here. GOA and BrillAg have done the numbers. Spend 5 min watching this video from @theGRDC before you spray if you’re not in high rainfall zone. @MaurieStreet @brill_ag youtu.be/4zjGuVDVrG8?si=ztZ7…
Considering the 28day forecasts across the region I am perplexed by the fungicide going out on canola 🤷‍♂️, App runs show no chance of positive returns for sclero or UCI B/L at present but if rains return 14 days, respraying will be needed- please explain
