Particularly saddened to hear of the death of a fella that had a significant impact on me as a young agro in IAMA > Landmark. Craig was a titan in the agronomy world, his knowledge & jovial demeanour will be missed. The dry is really shit across so much of SE AUS, this story

A shout out to SA /SWVicAg agros/services providers/ suppliers. You are the stays holding up the strainer posts. I see you. I’ve been you in previous droughts. DM if you need a yarn.

LHS: sown before 27mm of rain, RHS 2 days after. Only 1.5mm recorded post sowing in the past 33 days. Highlighting the importance of sowing canola before rain. Before rain plants 2 leaves ahead and 33% higher plant numbers 👌

In terms of what can be done now, or what could have been done in the last few months. Ultimately, farms nowadays are quite large businesses - high turnover, high costs and in a drought as severe and widespread as this current one...there's nothing that could have been done to

Installed 2x 10m towers for Temp inversion monitoring alongside existing weather stations yesterday. I do quite enjoy concreting. Co-funded by PIRSA drought infrastructure grant. (Also a similar grant scheme in Vic FYI) Also put in a soil moisture probe, saw remarkable

Of course it had to happen at 5pm on Friday afternoon. Hub totally stuffed. To top it off, this morning found out there are no hubs in Australia. Dealer said in all branch history they have only ever sold one. Anyone know if another make hub will fit on a 1910 castor wheel?

Is there hope after paraquat - potentially yes with one of the new actives in development. First photo shows it by itself on ryegrass vs 21 other mixes and spikes with existing options we have. Only 7 DAT so see what eventuates 🧐Chris Davey Barry Haskins Grassroots Agronomy WeedSmart

Digby Stretch My honest suggestion would be to drop telstra full stop. Sign up with Starlink direct, as you won’t be speed throttled to a 50mbps connection. We have clients sitting on 180-330 downloads in Cranbrook/perillup on normal starlink. I’d also recommend swapping your bigpond account

2025/26 Wheat Outlook: over the next 12 months, subdued global wheat prices are expected. Wheat production prospects globally have been improving, and stocks have been building. Import demand from key buyers has been lacklustre. The major upside price factor to watch will be

What a blessing rain is. SA got a fantastic wet & cold front that rained on most of the grain cropping areas. Southern Eyre Pen, Kangaroo Island did really well. Was able to take a long exposure snap of a moonbow this morning, I've only seen these twice before in my life

And there's my 800th weather/soil moisture environmental monitoring site installed. Since joining Goanna Ag, workload has carried on with a long list of jobs to do. Heading to WA Esperance, SA APY lands & Victoria again in next few months. Nice to be back installing soil
