🌾🌾 GROWER STORY A tough end to 2024 showed just how valuable crop diversity can be. #Barley and #FabaBeans added resilience to Zach McRae’s family farm in southern NSW. These side-by-side crops are part of Diverse Farms, a component of the Southern NSW #FarmingSystems

Great afternoon discussing soil, acidity, benefits of ameliorating, farm systems & legacy effects CSIRO GRDC Greenethorpe FS site with Riverina Branch of the Australian Soil Society tour group. Thanks CSU’s Brooke Kaveney, Dr. Jason Condon & interested group for dropping in.

🖥️ UPCOMING WEBINAR Making tough calls due to patchy emergence or lack of moisture? Join our #GRDCEvent at 1pm AEST next Friday 6 June. Barry Mudge will discuss using gross margins to assess the marginal return of continuing seeding or, in some cases, re-seeding. Register

Sort out carbon fact from fiction This free workshop delivered by Dr Warwick Badgery (NSW DPIRD) provides clear, relevant information about the carbon space including: ➡️ How Soil Carbon works ➡️Carbon calculators ➡️Emissions intensities ➡️Global picture/Government/Markets

Be great to see you GRDC canola establishment field walk at Canowindra on Friday 13 June. Strong focus on the critical soil moisture requirements for est % & the various implications of stubble, seed depth, soil strength & seedbed moist dry-down. CSIRO NSW Agronomy

GRDC Canola establishment field walk tomorrow at Canowindra. Time: 10am Location: Woodlands (refer to flyer) Rainout shelters have provided some great insights into dry sowing and the critical moist% required for establishment. Hope to see you there. CSIRO NSW Agronomy

Great discussions at Col McMaster DPIRD site about canola establishment - seed size and quality, soil moisture, sowing depth, stubble, press wheels and the idea of moisture sensing tynes for on-the-go seeding depth adjustment. Great discussions @GRDC canola establishment project.

Tony Swan CSIRO GRDC John Kirkegaard Laura Goward Mathew Dunn Susie Sprague Zakeel Michelle Hubbard Chickpea/Flax update... Shows how when seeding through high residue you have to pay attention. But when low rainfall and high winds are the norm you have to do what you can.

Some good rain and in goes the #bigbeautifulexperiment ⁦CSIRO⁩ Boorowa BARS - ⁦GRDC⁩ seed quality and wheat seedling emergence rates

16 ewes/ ha + lambs grazing DG Hotham mid season Truflex canola germinated Anzac Day, Pingelly WA. Flower buds just forming so sheep will be removed soon. Hardly making a dent in the growth. Should be more grazing of spring canola! ⁦Dyna-Gro Seed⁩ ⁦Nutrien WA Agronomy⁩

More rock than I’ve seen exposed for a few years on Mt Painter in Canberra - dry autumn and now cold winter. Any March-sown grazing crops for those who got rain and managed to get them up and away would be very valuable this year I imagine.

Great turn-out at the GRDC funded Southern NSW Farming Systems project adviser meeting in Condo this morning. The research team presented 7 years of findings into farming systems rotations at the Condobolin site and discussed the new Diverse Farms paddock scale component. Learn
