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

Hi 💚🌏 Sarah Hanson-Young, You might find this information helpful when you are commenting on #MurrayDarling #water matters. You’re welcome, have a nice day.



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. First-year data collection now complete @Alex_Schultz #waterproductivity #waterresearch #olive


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


Announcing our new "Irrigation Channel" - podcasts that brings news and information from the world of irrigated grains research and extension. Episode 1 – How do we use the data to make irrigation decisions with Alex Schultz @nswdpi – Out Now! pod.co/icc

Do you know when to irrigate to optimise crop performance? Our Podcast with Alex Schultz @NSWDPI_AgWater discusses using data and results to ensure we optimise irrigation on farm heading into spring. @irrigation4P @NSWDPI_AGRONOMY pod.co/icc



Rice pre-season meetings start today. Hopefully we can provide some useful information to make C21 a great season. @NSWDPI_AgWater AgriFutures Australia SunRice Grower Services Rice Extension


Out of my comfort zone but excited to deliver research results in a new way. Videos on ICC trials, @GRDC #irrigatedgrains & Smarter Irrigation for Profit will be uploaded to the virtual field day page soon. Join me 24/09 to chat w' Nick Poole FAR Australia, Alex Schultz @nswdpi & @Canola_Boy

Thanks Southern Growers,@NSWDPI_AgWater and FAR Australia for a terrific field day. Enjoyed the format, presenters and now eagerly awaiting results on irrigated canola, durum, beans, chickpeas, barley and sub soil constraints. Smarter Irrigation for Profit @GRDCNORTH


Join us in a soil pit to better understand soil profiles, ID soil limitations and discuss amelioration. Sam North @nswdpi and @Canola_Boy discuss open soil pit and latest research Fri Oct 23 10:30am RSVP Essential [email protected] FarmLink Research GRDC


Finished sowing our aerobic and DPW rice experiments at Leeton Field Station today. Will get their first flush tomorrow. @NSWDPI_AgWater Rice Extension SunRice Grower Services

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
