Out and about inspecting early sown feed across the district today. Some very happy plants enjoying the wet and relative warmth 🌱

Keeping the soil testing trailer busy before the big rains 🤞! Finding lots of variation in profiles in the same paddock. Wishing everyone a wet and wild weekend. Featuring CRTs cutest staff member Lewy 🐕

A big week of learning and networking for our agronomy team at the NRI national broadacre agronomy update in Melbourne! Great opportunity to collaborate and hear from the 100+ other NRI agronomists from across Australia.

Another successful pre-em walk this week. “Your team, our team supporting you through every season”

Call Max or Luke before June 30 to get ahead of the queue for minimal-impact, in-crop zone mapping—so you’re ready to hit the ground running with your soil amelioration program this summer, and don’t pay until after harvest.

What happens if we lose paraquat in our dry land cropping system? This trial explores alternative herbicide modes of action and use patterns. F&G and NRI agronomy teams across Australia are testing replicated treatments in varied environments & weed spectrums.

2025 research and learning trial site in the ground. First year sown with a single disc sowing system. An interesting test of all herbicides for crop safety. Thanks @Ware_AH and the team. 🤘🏽🤘🏽

Eyre Peninsula-based @Cleve_Rural director @MartyLovegrove often gets asked about new varieties. He uses National Variety Trials program data to inform his advice. “The NVT program gives us a larger-scope view of how a particular variety performs. That information, and the trials we do, helps us to pick varieties that fit best.” Read the full story ▶️ bit.ly/42DkDbM #GroundcoverOnline #NationalVarietyTrials

A great day @AgfertFert Cowell shed opening. Massive turn out! A great opportunity to see the new facility full and ready to outload 🤘🏽🤘🏽 We also heard from Jarrad O'Riley from Peats Soil & Garden Supplies about their Unearth product (organic carbon granule)

That’s a wrap for the 2025 National NRI Agronomy Updates. 100 Agronomist from across the country makes for thought provoking discussions. The latest information presented from key supply partners and industry experts. A great time networking & fostering friendships. 🤘🏽🤘🏽

Gazania control, sequential trial over two years, focused on optical sprayer technology treatments. Positive results. Application conditions are king!

Lots to learn from our F&G Fleabane camera brew trial. Reiterating how much of a beast it is to control. Some clear good options but no magic bullet. Fantastic to rate a bloody good trial and learn from it 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Special mention to this cute lizard that showed up for every rating

Trialing @Adama_AU Res+. Crop management tool to breakdown stubble residue #SustainableFarmingSolutions
