@RichardKonzag @TimNeale1 @GRDCSouth @RYANKONZAG A symptom of policy failure on many levels. Production agriculture is in real trouble as social structure crumbles. There's serious angst in the grain regions beyond the urban periphery.

@TimNeale1 “In the last 30 years the number of farmers has halved but the size of each farm has quadrupled. #grdcupdates @GRDCSouth @RYANKONZAG

@KellyAlspals Victoria is the epicentre?

Nothing seems to have any hope of stopping these money hungary exploiters. MINING THE MOST VALUABLE VICTORIAN LENTIL PRODUCING SOIL. ALKALINE SOIL IS FEW AND FAR BETWEEN, BUT VICTORIA IS THE EPICENTRE. 1.5 billion Indians or 3 billion Indians world wide want LENTILS !!!! ONLY VICTORIAN SOIL CAN SAVE THE WORLD FROM PROTEIN DEFICIENCY !!! @theGRDC @3AW693 @NigeHart @grheard @GrainProducerSA @ColinJBettles Goschen Rare Earths and Mineral Sands Project granted 20-year licence - goo.gl/alerts/TTQXZD #GoogleAlerts

@Jarb_Branford I reckon that’s Quena. There’s quite a lot on Central EP. Very damaging to winter crop production. Starane is dynamite on Silver Leaf Nightshade but we find it very weak on Quena. Best control has been from robust Gly with modest Ester and high rates of Triclopyr on fresh plants.

What’s everyone call this bit of gear? Best way to get rid of it? Only in small little patches.

@sokitomi @Aitch_El @NationalFarmers @tanya_plibersek @PerinDavey @DavidPocock @NSWFarmers @ricegrowers @nswirrigators @Nat_Irrigators David, please don’t say that most farm families are on the bones of their arse - it’s just untrue. There have been difficult periods, but at the moment, most farm families are in a very privileged position financially.

Happening in Griffith right now. #BasinRallies #KeepFarmersFarming

@andrewpolk7 @S_M_Bowman Oh Deere!! 😡

@S_M_Bowman Match ya

Flat tyre yesterday, this today

@KellyAlspals @AlanKohler @TheNewDailyAu Only a politician could come up with an idea so stupid.

@AlanKohler @TheNewDailyAu Surely QLD has this issue in hand with their $30,000 new home purchase assistance !!

The great housing paradox: Everyone agrees that housing affordability is one of Australia’s biggest economic problems, if not the biggest, but promising genuinely to fix it will ensure that you don’t get elected. @TheNewDailyAu thenewdaily.com.au/finance/2023/1…

@DavidSandow1 @rick_mayor @littlemykonos That’s stealing!!

@rick_mayor @littlemykonos Got stung 15 cents a kilo over this whole load recently to the abs, office admin charge for NVD errors because they couldn’t read the first number clearly 🤬. They wouldn’t budge on it either. No wonder people think the games crooked.

Would you mention if you were underpaid $13:50? Kind of not enough to mention, just enough to hurt. What’s an appropriate dollar amount to mention without looking pov ?

@KwMacdon Working perfectly for me right now Kingsley. Maybe theres a glitch with your device??

What’s happened to the CliMate app seems to have been switched off?

@broadacrebabe @JohnDeereAUNZ @EmmettsGroup My 3000 worked fine Tuesday til Thursday. Parked up for today.

Anyone else having issues with starfire 3000 sf1 ? We tried 2 of ours & then the neighbors, none receiving despite all satellites ok. All updates done. Plugged in a 6000 & no issues 🤷‍♀️ 3000 spose to still work, whats going on? @JohnDeereAUNZ @EmmettsGroup

@KellyAlspals Oh nonsense!!

Senator Price will rise above the ABC. Her Canberra Press Gallery performance will pave the way for Australians to ignore the ABC types. Price is an eloquent leader and the Masses are already moving her way. She is the Ruth Ginsburg of Australian Politics. She wants the Indigenous to stop playing the victim. She is PM material for sure . @D_LittleproudMP ABC TV snubs No campaigners theaustralian.com.au/business/media…

@agrobaz @ajackag13 @brill_ag @Kenya_Agron I feel that grain legumes are having a major impact on nutrition other than N. Crop responses are happening that bear little relationship to N availability. We’re N fixated!!!

@ajackag13 @brill_ag @Kenya_Agron I reckon I’d challenge that quite comfortably but acknowledging the north/south differences

Fabas and lupins both helping set up next year's wheat area. Weed control has certainly been easier this year, and looking forward to taking some Deep N samples to see what the rhizobium has achieved.

@MattMcDonald013 @jcressw3 @FarmsAdvice And the cartridge applicator works well. Just get enough cartridges for a full days work.

@jcressw3 @FarmsAdvice shearwell Cant fault them

eID tags. What brands and style you going for? Any photos @FarmsAdvice Large commercial mobs

@freshy1973 @DraffinChris Andrew, feed conversion efficiency seems to be a missing metric with sheep breeding values that other animal production enterprises focus better on. What am I missing? It seems hard to address in pasture based, extensive systems.

@DraffinChris That’s higher feed conversion….. damn iPhone autocorrect!!

@Tedthekelpie @Tigerbill172 @ipaddockapps @callydupe We get the same response. The effect seems almost permanent. This is about 25 tonnes per hectare of baled chaff being spread onto heavy ground with salt. See how we go.

@Tigerbill172 @ipaddockapps @callydupe How do we replicate that on paddock scale

"Lupins off the menu". Did the state govt spend its money on lupins in the right places? What needs to happen for you to increase your lupin area? (Today's Countryman)

@theGRDC @Nige_Hart @CSIRO Except the conclusions you make are wrong!! Rolling can profoundly effect plague development.

🐭We've invested in research with @CSIRO who are conducting trials to inform best-practice mouse management strategies to examine how cropping practices & stubble management affect population densities of mice. Find out what's working, and what's not: bit.ly/43pHRQn

@LeonGill22 And wiser I’m sure!!

Getting older!

@andrewpolk7 12 years after EP growers clearly told GRDC that the 25 gram product was not up to the job when numbers are high Andrew, they’ve been proven correct. I have a long memory!!!

Plenty of mice about. At least there was. The 50mg bait has done a wonderful job. Each of the white mounds was a mouse warren.

@OrrockFarm @CropDoctor54 @YPAGAgronomy @DMAg_consultant @agrobaz @grassrootsag @NufarmAustralia Same here Todd. Only goes with Paraquat now. I haven’t used it with Glyphosate at night yet but that’s the last option.

@CropDoctor54 @YPAGAgronomy @DMAg_consultant @agrobaz @grassrootsag @NufarmAustralia I’ve found not to use terrador with gly. To many jobs that where no where near as good as it should for the price. But with gramoxone it’s amazing what it will pull down

It’s only been 6 days since spraying, but the early signs of this knockdown mix are good. AMS + Terrador + Crucial + oil Marshmallows & Medic brownout 👌

@ipaddockapps @hirschirsch @eyres_N What is it about single super that reduces the toxic effect of S Mic? I’ve always thought it pretty mild.

@hirschirsch @eyres_N I have full confidence single shooting P&K at robust rates, especially at narrower spacings. But there is no case for single shooting S when it is so effective broadcast with the first N hit. Without doubt S is lethal next to the seed

Compare the pair. April 12 sowing chasing moisture +/- 65kg/ha MacroPro with the seed

Has anyone got any idea how long zinc phosphide mouse bait lasts stored in original sealed drums, never been opened?
