@CaptainCanola @PacificSeeds @kalyx_australia @schilgee @hurgl1 @danrollsroyce @AgingAgro @FotiouMila You should have come and looked at my half emerged feast paddocks.

Late sown @PacificSeeds canola trials near Wagga Wagga, NSW due to extended dry conditions, now emerging nicely after rain, gailforce wind and frezzing cold conditions !! ⛈️🥶😱 Also right near 🍷 Thanks @kalyx_australia @schilgee @hurgl1 @danrollsroyce @AgingAgro @FotiouMila

@NtDrifter Is that on Thylungra George?

This is a fairly handy bit of country too. Keeps getting better as it goes back.

@ArlanFF101 how about 21/22 & 22/23?

This Brazil port #soybean basis chart tells the story of why US exports are suffering. #oatt

Don't miss out! Canola Field day as part of the 16th Int. Rapeseed Congress at Wagga Wagga Ag Institute 22 Sept This is your opportunity to view canola research at one site + canola pathology + farming systems at WWAI. Book at brnw.ch/21wCfbM #grdc @theGRDC

@Qshizzle97 Why start with only 20k acres?

First year corn farmer here, roughly 1/2 of our 20,000 corn acres look like this. Can I expect our county T yield of 125 bu/acre with cobs like this? 2” of rain since May 1st

@Strawhats7 Canada might need it too

With dry conditions continuing in Canada and the loss of 4mil soybean acres in the US, EU #rapeseed has failed to follow the market higher and is now pricing all the way to Canada by boat.......it looks way too cheap now.

@XLDCommodities What have you learnt on the call?

@grassrootsag @Agrista_au Were they merino wethers on the crop Greg?

Lock up time after 7 weeks grazing (1000 wethers on 36ha). Lick feeders + barley in the last 4 weeks. Very wet underfoot as sheep are moved on & canola is locked up for grain. Minimal wastage for a bulky crop. @Agrista_au

@MadsKri Market telling the Aussie farmer not to plant canola

Growing #rapeseed is becoming less attractive relative to wheat at current levels, but seeds already in the ground. #Rapeseed is rapidly narrowing spread to Matif #Wheat with ratio trailing multiple years low at only 1,7x. #Oilseeds #OATT

@BeauLongmire Bloody ripper Beau !

This will take some getting used to!

Seasonal Canola Standard Introduced to deal with weather damaged canola : mailchi.mp/899980c4f096/s… #harvest22 @Pulse_Australia

@GreenSquareAC @wizzair subject to functioning aircraft

Anyone know what “STFA” stands for on a @wizzair ticket invoice? Wizz air won’t tell me.

@Dartman62 Golf course open

I’ll just mow the lawn then 🤪 FFS

@trevie15 Nice. Mine was sown mid March and only just got on now too.

@Lacho36 Sown about mid April Lachy. It's really only just ready for grazing so they won't be in that paddock for long

Twin ewes moving out from containment pens onto some Illabo grazing wheat. I often wonder how we ever got on without containment feeding

@brill_ag @Warwick_Long Perfect timing

@Warwick_Long As close to average as we ever get here at Ganmain. Average is good. pic.twitter.com/qSkB4kqFUu

Rainfall record keepers!?! I need you 🌧⛈☔️🌈 What are your stats for 2020? and how does it compare to previous years?

@grassrootsag @rockhallmains @trent_gordon2 Beautiful mix. What Fert & urea program to go with it John/Greg?

Vetch radish companion mix on red soils at Ardlethan. Run down farm getting a huge boost above & below ground, this will provide rotation benefits for the next 2-3 years @rockhallmains @trent_gordon2 #warakirricropping

@lukemathews18 Fair tinge of yellow starting to come around the place.

Hmmm, feel free to take a break and come back in a month...

Will be moving on Saturday.

Nice to be on this side of the fence.
