Saltbush City Limits. 🌳 We're rolling out an elite variety of the native shrub, Old Man Saltbush (Atriplex nummularia), to tackle drought. It's salt-loving and makes ideal fodder for livestock during feed gaps. We've called it Anameka Saltbush. spr.ly/6018PH8ok

New job opening CSIRO for an enthusiastic post-doc! Please share! Model the dynamics in the surface soil as it affects crop establishment from deep sowing long coleoptile wheat or long hypocotyl canola. jobs.csiro.au/job/Canberra%2…

#trialareus Interesting work from @nswdpi's Jon Baird GRDC update @ Bellata⬇️ 🌿Adjusting soil water triggers to sow crops can provide advantages over conventional approaches. 🌾Greater crop diversity gives wider sowing windows 🟰 better use of variable rainfall. GRDC

Midweek challenge. What do you think is being manufactured/created in this clip? 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♀️

⏰REMINDER: on this week⏰ Please join us to do a 'deep dive' into the long-term farming systems (FS) results after 8 years of research across the region: *Trangie: 15th Aug *Gunnedah: 16th Aug *Narrabri: 17th Aug GRDC North Steven Simpfendorfer Jon Baird branko.duric.dpi Lindsay Bell

This Thursday at Narrabri RSL. A delve into farming systems legacies.

Great learnings from different collaborating groups at GRDC's #RiskWise national project meeting. Nick Poole and Ben Morris supporting FAR Australia's Birchip Cropping Group (BCG) Action Research Group (ARG) lead.

Liebe's Chris & Aeneva attending the GRDC Riskwi$e Conference in Sydney. Day 1 they met with Project Lead Lindsay Bell (CSIRO) & Grower Group Alliance Project Manager Daniel Kidd, enjoying thought provoking discussions around risks in farming & how we can manage them better. #Riskwise

Warm sunny day for the updates in Emerald, CQ. Listening to Dr Lindsay Bell discussing water management in your farming systems. GRDC North Lindsay Bell

Checking out the new RootAccess facility with Prof Kristian Thorup-Kristensen at University of Copenhagen. Will allow detailed studies of deep root growth and function to 3m in a full field facility. Infrastructure and sensors nearing completion and project ideas are lining up!

Studies on the rooting depth and uptake efficiency of Fababean at the Radimax facility at University of Copenhagen Taastrup farm with Prof. Kristian Thorup-Kristensen where tracers can be delivered to deep roots and genotypes compared for rooting depth and uptake efficiency

BIRDS WILL NOT WIN - Sunflowers are a particular favourite of our local cockatoos. This summer they were grown in our higher diversity cropping systems treatments and the team have gone to great lengths to protect the integrity of our data collection. GRDC

Fababean sensitivity to starting soil water in a dry growing season - every mm of extra stored water was converted to 21 kg of grain or $7 of extra income. Observations from @GRDC farming systems experiments in 2023. #FarmingSystemsNorth

What are the Risk and Rewards for different N strategies in your environment? #Riskwise project is using experiments and simulation modelling to examine a range of strategic and tactical approaches so that we can be 'more right, more often' with N decision making. GRDC

#RiskWise is a GRDC 5-yr national project that aims to improve grower decision making processes to increase the probability of a more favourable outcome. What's considered a risky decision varies on where you are farming, what you're growing and personal preference for risk.

Improving our understanding of GHG emissions in the grains industry nationally with Lindsay Bell from CSIRO at #Agronomy24 🌎🌾

Soil temperature and/or available nitrogen differences in early mungbean vigour due to previous crop - left after wheat and right after chickpea. Another interesting crop legacy effect from our northern farming system’s research GRDC

Barry George Mudge gives some insight into upcoming RiskWi$e event in the Upper North putting 2024 into perspective. 10th February @ Orroroo please see our previous post with flyer and details.

Fantastic morning talking crop and machinery benchmarking, soil test reviews, research highlights, Riskwise and farming systems with our clients. Thnx John Kirkegaard and Lindsay for guest speaking. Big cropping footprint in this room 👍 GRDC North supported trials 👍
