Winter wheat is in and just finishing up the canola. Earliest we have ever started at Bute SA, but I think thanks to the hard work of researchers/breeders we can control flowering window irrespective of plant date. Time for some family time over Easter before an Anzac Day rain.🤞

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!

Nothing we didn’t know at harvest time but a great visual of why windrowing still has a place in our canola program. LHS windrowed, RHS direct headed. Shattering loss between windrow timing and waiting for the crop and stalks to dry enough not to plug machine

Same day, same crop, 3 years apart, 2015 LHS, 2018 RHS. Rainfall within 5mm YTD. 2015 the sample didn’t make FEDwheat. 2018 hoping the smaller canopy has a little left in the tank.

Race to the end! With no significant rainfall for over a month, nothing much on the 10 day and only the flag and half of -1 left. It should be an interesting grainfill. 1/3 of the way through. Fortunate to get this one established early but heaven help the late ones (awnpeep)

As an Australian grain grower it is disturbing that I would asked to pay for the fumigation or checking of a shipping container of imported grains. Why should I subsidise someone importing something to compete directly with me in the marketplace. Importers must pay this!

Trial strips when setting up the ripper have stimulated a germination despite no follow up rainfall. Suspect either have included lost barley heads down the subsoil moisture or brought enough moisture up to stimulate a germ. Root mass in inclusion zones looking fab

CROPPING IN A CHALLENGING SEASON 🌱
There is no denying it has been a challenging start to the growing season.

A big few days, a great industry initiative. Learnt plenty from some very clever people across a diverse set of cropping systems. But one commonality over several systems is the attention to detail.

I’m pretty sure I know what this is and I don’t like it. Lone plant in the middle of a lentil stubble. You wonder how it gets there. Can FTR thrive in southern environments or is it just a weed of the north?

Anyone care to comment on the catastrophic fire danger rating tomorrow but no fireban? I always thought catastrophic was a forecasted FDI of over 150! I’m sure I’m missing something but looking at the forecast I’d be expecting a max wind of 25 and temp of 37. FDI approx 35?

An interesting pattern in some struggling lentils. As drill row passes through old row, crop green. As it goes through interrow- crop purple. If moisture stress it’s taking a long time to respond to 17mm last week. Frosty ground although would expect straw row to make frost worse

We are 12months since trading from a Deere, we spray the same speed as always. Deere would do around 600ha to a fuel tank, goldacres will do around 700ha to a fuel tank. Catch is that the Deere had 550L, g6 has a 300L tank. Happy to knock the g6 but fuel isn’t one of them

NYP dry sown crops are just emerging now on good soils. They are 5 weeks behind optimum sowing date though. At 30kg/day yield penalty from optimum emergence date, without a wet spring we are expecting about a tonne/ha yield penalty. Second driest start in 120 years of records

34+17+30+13 = 94%
