@brodenholland I setup my seeder with scatter plates up front. Put half starter out front and half under seed with canola. Can vrt from soil p grids if want. Same air lines can run scatter plates out back for mouse bait if needed.

@Ashley_Jacobs92 Great work Ashley. Will you put some of the success down to the high residue system?

@ZwarFarms Russell, interested to hear how your shelbourne goes on the 10.90 I feel the sieve area is limiting factor on our 8.90. Struggle to get more than 75-80t/hr without overloading them. I am curios to know if the extra sieve length in the class 10 gives any more capacity?

@CDFrench1 @Telstra @NewHollandAG @RhysCurr @brentmorton8 Yes , I’ve found VRS RTK connection has been bloody hopeless since the 3G/4G changeover. Very frustrating!
English

Hey Team, is anyone else using NTrip RTK been without signal since 3g was turned off? I’m hearing it’s a @Telstra issue… most frustrating this time of year 🤦♂️ @NewHollandAG @RhysCurr @brentmorton8

@brentmorton8 @agrobaz @gimmeahandle Chaff deck been a really worthwhile investment and addition for us morto, I know it’s not destroying seeds but it’s getting them all together. No extra HP requirement and fraction of the price of a Mill…
English

@agrobaz @gimmeahandle I think it’s inevitable that we will all end up with one eventually, I just need to pull the pin. To much pressure being put on expensive chemicals to do all the heavy lifting.

@soupercocky @matt_norrie Agree, although BB vs Bathurst bulldogs more appropriate fixture, they won Blowes cup yesterday (Central wests tier 1 comp) Central west played Central north at country champs this year for the first time since 2017 due structure of tournament. A very solid “bush footy” hit out
English

@matt_norrie With such a short season I’d like to see a few inter comp games post GF, where comp winners play each other, get another game or 2 out of the season. BB v Mudgee Wombats for instance, I reckon that would be well attended.

Well done @NewHollandAG, incredible product, awesome night! Look forward to seeing it in action #CR11 🌾✂️

Good Job Martin. The significant reduction of paraquat and Diquat rates proposed by the @APVMA will make it harder for us to do our job and negatively impact on the environment.

@grassrootsag @brill_ag Enforcer CT with 170 000 seeds/kg planted at 2.2kg/ha on 10/4. Great vigour. Average of 25p/m2. Very thankful for no frosts to date! I was a bit worried about seed size and getting enough plants established. JD 1890 proving itself yet again!


English

@brill_ag Look forward to following these trials. Big seed this year has thinned populations. Hard to judge kg/ha when seed size is unknown.

Growers certainly confident to push canola deeper with early plant + the right seeding gear.

Large seed has major benefits on ordinary soil - seems a fit for VR seed size and depth (if possible).

Commercial hybrid canola seed graded into sizes (smallest = <1.6 mm, largest = 2-2.2 mm), sown into a sodic soil at Ganmain at ~6 cm depth 18 April.
English

@cropmad @Oscarthefarmer Agree John, really like the Needam ag seed tab combined with book recommended fan speed! Not many end up where they shouldn’t.
English

@Oscarthefarmer 🤔
Diffusers??
The one great thing I like about the 90 Series discs is not requiring them...
With seed tabs and the horizontal exit everything just sits in the furrow to be run over by the press wheel.
What am I missing Os 🧐?

@Matthew75204654 @LFelmingham @JamesSchubert87 @AMC_DirtDollars What’s your planting speed Matt? Our 1890 done about 30 000 ha haven’t had a disc hub bearing fail but have replaced all the press wheel bearings twice, 2 sets of needam bushes in press wheel and closing wheel arms after factory ones. We plant at 11kms
English

@LFelmingham @JamesSchubert87 @AMC_DirtDollars My John deere 1890 done over 15000 ha only ever changed a couple of disc hub bearings . Was changing yearly on my previous baldan box drill 😤

@nick_bleasdale @MattMcDonald013 If you have a Raven Viper it will work for sure. There is an unlock you need that has quiet a few hrs demo before you have to pay, Import the file as RX map and away you go. All worked well on my Nitro with Viper Pro and intellispray (PWM)
