20 percent into #plant24 and hell it’s dry. Moisture probe hasn’t had a hit since December. Driest summer/autumn I have seen in my short farming career. Here’s to a wet winter!

Amelioration gurus- Does aggressive tillage like spading increase availability of P in the first year like it does for N or does it reduce it by burying it away from the seedbed?

The future of farming without the strategic use of Paraquat.Glyphosate resistance rye grass that can’t be controlled with registered options. Cultivation comes next and then ⬇️ gross margins, poor soil health, water logging and dust storms. Big picture thinking needed 💭 APVMA

33 degree day incoming & lentils only just podding on NYP 🙁 Airbars appear to be the go in light lentil crops, has anyone measured loss from the cutter bar +- 2) Any thoughts on DIY bat reels or other front mods to help get them in - or just get duck feet if no airbar.

I’m a big believer there’s no such thing as good luck just a combination of preparation and opportunity. But frost takes the cake this year for bad luck. Swales stem frosted halfway through grainfill. Spaded dunes untouched. Thanks to @OsterCharlie for mowing it down

A big shout out to Lachie Koch who fresh faced, straight out of school came to us as a harvest casual in 2019. 5 years later and he’s making his way home to take on the family farm. We will miss having him around and he’s had an everlasting impact on what we do here!

A very interesting and informative read. With the busy modern life sometimes you struggle to find 5 minutes to sit down and read a book. But this one made it pretty easy. Highly recommend. Well done Dennis Voznesenski

Can someone explain to me why SA has the cheapest grain in the country ? Dry year, less grain around and heap of shipping capacity. In previous years we are told we can’t participate in highs due to shipping capacity. Very easy to buy and execute before northern hemisphere crop🤔

An opportunity awaits for someone to join us this seeding running amelioration equipment. Experience not required but some machine experience preferred. Eagerness to learn and a great attitude essential. DM for more info or email [email protected]

Soil amelioration, sometimes you question your sanity. Other times you just look at the results with a smile. 1st vid- this years spading, struggling to establish. 2nd vid was where we spaded around a trial last year and sowed straight through the trial this year

Managed to scoot over to Esperance for the #grainautomate workshop last week. Was good to chat with innovative growers automating different parts of the farm for more efficient use of time. Give the GrainAutomate facebook page a like to follow along/learn facebook.com/share/g/1BvoW5…
