Based on 2023 we estimated ~9mm in early Apr & ~5mm mid-Apr on mallee sand (no repellence etc) was enough to maintain water potentials for 50% canola emergence. These rules worked again, shame it hasn't happened in reality this time. Here's hoping we all get 5mm++ soon @theGRDC

Was intending to achieve a couple quiet jobs in the workshop, but the sound of hybrids growing out the front and back windows is overwhelming #PY422G #optimumgly #44Y30RR @pioneerseedsau
