50cm sown dryland sorghum yielding 12t/ha at Tosari Qld in 2024 outcompetes cotton in multiple fronts. We need reliable high yielding crop designs for grain sorghum, exporting biomass off the field ⁦is a terrible idea ⁦QLD Alliance for Agriculture & Food Innovation⁩ GRDC North⁩

We are looking for a Senior Research Fellow (Crop Physiology) to work with our sorghum research group. This is a great opportunity to build an impactful career in a supportive research environment 5-year contract. tinyurl.com/yc7f6ekf

GRDC sorghum root architecture trial off to a great start. Now we need some dry weather.

Easier than a hand auger. Digging holes for moisture sensors for the GRDC root project.

Some more new fresh agronomists getting through, well done!! good work!! ⁦QLD Alliance for Agriculture & Food Innovation⁩

Oh dear

Great opinion in the NYT from the author of “We are eating the earth” the aim should be “producing more and protecting more” nytimes.com/2024/12/13/opi… via @NYTOpinion

that is 2nd in the whole world. IMF reports on 191 countries. We are second We are also only 1 of 7 out 191 countries with a "AAA" credit rating. Better than the USA etc. So, if the media, the Libs, the Nats, One Nation, are saying things are bad in Oz, they are lying bastards.

What, another vertical farming startup going bust? Who could’ve predicted? (me) agfundernews.com/brief-vertical…

More than 40% of postdoctoral researchers leave academia. Postdocs who publish a ‘hit paper’ are more likely to land an academic position and to produce highly-cited work early in that position. QLD Alliance for Agriculture & Food Innovation doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

We are looking for Senior Research Assistant - FIELD CROPS. If you are in Queensland and have a background in FIELD RESEARCH (no molecular sciences or lab experience) we will be happy to hear about you!! uq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/uqcareers/job/…

Very different canopy phenotypes in this diversity panel,… the question is How different are they below ground? Very close to having that answered. Watch this space!! thanks to ⁦GRDC⁩ ⁦GRDC North⁩ ⁦QLD Alliance for Agriculture & Food Innovation⁩ ⁦AirBorn Insight Pty Ltd⁩ ⁦⁦DataFarming⁩

This is the best summary of the current geopolitical situation I have seen. Sir Alex Younger was head of MI6 between 2014 and 2020. Really worth watching.

Well done Dr Uwe Grewer on getting your PhD research into Resources, Environment and Sustainability (IF 12.4) In "Guiding cultivar choice in smallholder agriculture: Identifying suitability hotspots for maturity groups of field crops" @qaafi UQ News doi.org/10.1016/j.rese…
