worldgovernmentsummit.org/api/publicatio… 33-50% of food produced is never eaten, wasting 25% of global water consumption, while 800 million go hungry. 25% of farmland highly degraded. Farmers need to produce 70% more food by 2050. Good time to be in agriculture, plenty of challenges to work on

Our research looking at "getting the most from irrigation water" by pre-irrigating or not and full spring applications vs 1 spring application is providing some interesting results! ICC members can visit our website to see the latest trial block update. ow.ly/bUUN50x5pVz

Installing tree sensors post-harvest to monitor tree moisture stress - we're working with UNE Applied Agricultural Remote Sensing Centre, UNE investigating remote sensing as a tool to manage olive groves.

Timing is everything! For high yields topdress your #IrrigatedWheat before it reaches the 2nd node. Use this poster bit.ly/2VJyH0J & match key growth stages with upcoming management actions #WaterProductivity MurrayLLS GRDC @IrrigatedCC Deakin University National Landcare @Ausgov

Massive spread of available soil moisture being recorded Smarter Irrigation for Profit sites in Kerang, Berrigan, Finley, Deni, Whitton & Condobolin. Extremes at the ICC site in Kerang which has needed water since mid-July and Berrigan who's tank is almost full. murrayvalleysoilmoisture.site

Please don’t be a harvest hero. We're so focussed on getting the job done we work ourselves into extreme fatigue. Heavy gear, fast moving parts, night shifts and heading home are high risk when fatigued. Work hard but go home safe. #harvest2020 #agchatoz GrainGrowers GRDC

Identifying and managing soil constraints webinar on this Thursday 9am. Do you have any limiting factors in your soil? Will be worth joining the webinar to discuss how you might be able to improve your soils.

Olive harvest underway again, this year we’re seeing a marked increase in yield from last, one tree increasing by 2,220%. Last year showed good yield/tree vigour correlations interested to see if we see the same this year?Applied Agricultural Remote Sensing Centre, UNE Andrew Robson James Brinkhoff Alex Schultz
