@GeezaColeman Thanks for sharing Guy, there is huge potential for GoG in pastures. Weeds are present at low frequencies & there are less selective options than in crop. Thistles in lucerne is an example where GoG would work. Alex Olsen & @Auto_Weed QLD are working in the space. @WeedSmartAU

Harvest coming to an end in southern NSW. Wheat yields & WUE holding up ok despite the seasonal challenges. On-farm bunker for downgraded SFW wheat, a few months storage then delivery to end users next year. @EnglefieldPlai1 @YupiriTony

December rain has caused headaches with the harvest but the response in pasture growth has been remarkable. After a dry spring, perennial pastures were struggling especially in high SR systems. Yet there has been some impressive growth in lucerne, phalaris or fescue pastures.

@agrobaz @Ashley_Jacobs92 @tony_swan64 Great result Ashley, agree large scale demos are fantastic. Results were influenced by the decile 9-10 wet summers in 2021 & 2022. Despite soil temp variations there was no sig diff in fallow water or yield. The wet years masked any diffs b/w stripper vs draper in a disc system.

@agrobaz @brodenholland @Pooley_Nick_FAR @GRDCNorth Great opportunity to get more data Baz, both you & @brill_ag have trials reflect commercial practice.

@agrobaz @Pooley_Nick_FAR @brodenholland Variable again this year, some later sown Scepter, Raider + fungicide with >150mm rain holding FN >200-250 yet Kittyhawk <100. TOS & maturity having an influence on FN + head wash fungicide & N. Still harvesting locally, make final assessments when done. FN is a brutal system…

@agrobaz We had 2 great speakers at the recent @WeedSmartAU workshop in Wagga. Luke Davis, Forbes using them in broadacre especially fungicides. Jack Kelleher, Coolac spraying in hills. Both using T30 now T50. Loads of features with T50, tech evolving fast. Happy to share their presos.

A big thank you to all speakers & attendees for the Weedsmart early career agronomist day in Wagga. Engaging discussion on tools to manage weeds, drones + how to navigate your way when starting out in agronomy. @WeedSmartAU
