@Jes_Squirrell @JoeWStanley @AllertonProject @jillspringtime @TheAHDB @MastenbroekLtd @AnglianWater @gwapipes @Gameandwildlife Hey Jeremy that’s the first time I’ve seen someone give a price per hectare on tile drainage at 6m intervals. Does the 1000 pounds/ha include installation and gravel. Hard to find info on Australia on heavier soil types Thanks

@JoeWStanley @AllertonProject @jillspringtime @TheAHDB @MastenbroekLtd @AnglianWater @gwapipes @Gameandwildlife Totally agree, but the entire budget would be blown on drainage of UK arable land. At a modest £1000/ha on 6m has would equate to £200m/year for 30 years. We need profits to invest in drainage, not grants if it jeopardises funding for sustainability (imho)

Effective field drainage is a foundation of soil health & an essential element of the regenerative transition - but who’s talking about it in govt or supply chain? It’s an issue we’re addressing in a new trial @AllertonProject to get it on the agenda. reader.fwi.co.uk/pugpig_enhance…

@DMAg_consultant @jlaycock55 @CropDoctor54 @SeanM_DMAg_SA @AndrewDMAgro @calukafarms @JasonBrand @tommy_bath @aidanpmcgrath So the beans on the right have had no P sown with the seed? Does the P fertiliser have to be with the seed or can they access soil P quickly. For us Logistically it would easier to fill both bins on airseeder with beans and spread ssp in front.

Always good to review P investments 💰 🌱 @jlaycock55 @CropDoctor54 @SeanM_DMAg_SA @AndrewDMAgro @calukafarms @JasonBrand @tommy_bath @aidanpmcgrath

@ipaddockapps We found with moisture it compacted and bridged

#askx does Alosca go ok through a small seeds bin, or does it settle and compact?

Lochs Farming are exited to offer our first run of Nudie rams We believe the influence Nudies will have on the sheep industry moving forward will be huge, and are determined to deliver genetics that will reduce workload, while keeping a firm focus on productivity and profits.1/2

We’ve got two small lots of excess 2 & 3 yo Nudie ewes up today in the Cashmore Park Oaklea sale. Good little starter flock for a move into composite shedders. auctionsplus.com.au/auctions/sheep…

@drage_farms We run 03 ldms 15” nozzle spacing 20km/hr at 80-100l/ha. Course droplet at 400kpa xtra course at 300kpa (hope I got that right). Just change to one nozzle and has covered all our needs

What nozzle pairs are people running on exactapply for 70-100L at 20kmh 3 bar? So far been advised 02/025 pair should be good @ 3 bar. Very confusing to me working it out 😅

@CodyJHar Any time prior to April cody. Would be happy to work something with @gduff_sfs

Australian farmers. Would you be interested in seeing a demonstration of our Soil-Max tile plow? Is April a good time for a demo in your region? We’re looking at doing demos in Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia. #aussiefarming #farmdrainage #tileplow

@JA_Farming We had this issue in young sheep for years and couldn’t work it out. We worked it out when we stopped ojd vaccinating wethers and then in only happened in ewes. It turned out we were vaccinating with guidair too close to the spine and the cyst was pressuring the spinal cord.

Sheep guru’s. I have a lamb doing this, was fine a week ago. Also had one do it a month ago that I had to put down. Any suggestions as to what’s going on or what I can give it to help it get going again? TIA

@Tedthekelpie Yes they pull the skin tighter on the tail and reduce tail dags. Used one here for fifteen years I’d recommend it.

Is anyone who’s stopped muelsing merinos using one of these? Is the extra cost worth while?

@CropProCory Hi Cory I’m interested in your rotation and how this works. Ie, how do you stop the alfalfa taking over the cash crop etc.

Choose your post-harvest stubble. Left? Alfalfa plus stubble Right? Stubble One using soil moisture but adding roots and N. One recharging moisture and no roots.

@babart1977 What spacings do you have that on Bruce and did you put it into into any heavy clay swamps there?

Did a little more planting with the 12m #alphadisc today. This time on volcanic soil at Nerrin Nerrin.

@WSAgSpray Thanks Tom where do I source that and how much of it do I need for dap/soa?

@WeatherlyEdward Hydrated lime Ed

Does talcum powder work on urea and soa as well as dap? And if so where is a good source of bulk product? Thanks in advance

@grassrootsag @brill_ag @tony_swan64 @theGRDC @Farm_Link @jimmyholding Does it worry you that it will suppress the following crop the same way?

@brill_ag @tony_swan64 @theGRDC @Farm_Link @jimmyholding S790 so the straw spread was very good, the difference is the height of the stripper stubble seems to suppress more weeds.

Differences in weed growth at Urana @theGRDC stripper vs draper stubble trial. Too wet for timely spraying so weeds got away, bigger sowthistle in the draper cut. Stripper stubble has suppressed weed germ & growth. 540mm rain since harvest so very wet!! @Farm_Link @tony_swan64

@CroppaCo Hi can this update directly from my John Deere app or does it need input. Thanks

How good are these harvest activity maps! This sorghum harvest we tested activity maps. This allows us to quickly visualise what’s completed, in progress and still to harvest. 🟢Green = Finished. 🟠Orange = In Progress. 🔵Blue = Scheduled. Harvest data made simple! #farmSimple

@drum_craig Was the paddock fallow before sowing drummy or cut for hay? What innoculant was used?

Soybeans in the Western Districts of Victoria.I suppose our climate is similar to Cairns🤔( or maybe not). Every plant has a few nodules but not heaps, having said that very little rain since sown (15nov) (22mm) maybe todays rain might help nodulate better. Hopefully N for winter

@emkay76 @SeedDestructor @devon_gilmour @mcintoshandson @petrol477 Used chain around front axle onto snatch strap out the back. Get auger out of the way and have someone co-ordinating the show. It’s not ideal.

Hoping it will dry out come harvest but just in case, who's had experience pulling header out of bog with iHSD now that it's in the way of the tow points? Can't really go ⬅️, don't want to go ➡️.#notmyphoto #asktwitter @SeedDestructor @devon_gilmour @mcintoshandson @petrol477

@trevie15 @KimbarPark That’s a cracker thanks

@KimbarPark Andrew, we make these up in wet weather out of load binder ratchets. Best design I've come across👍. We've started to use them everywhere now
