☀️ finally peaking through at Bool Lagoon. Water table in low areas unfortunately above ground level. Going to be a long winter in the southern region ⁦@GRDCSouth⁩ ⁦@IntirrTim⁩ ⁦@maroonafarmer⁩

Naracoorte creek upstream near Kyby in full flow. Another inch or two over the next week is unwelcome. Bring on dry July

@dyerjonathan @merindie1 @BenDumesny Monitor, bait, repeat unfortunately. Often in areas of historic pressure(nearly always) and legume stubbles are worst effected in this region, close second to canola stubbles. High surface organic matter areas showing up pressure. Tillage and burning have helped, but not always🤷🏻‍♂️

@JamesHeff80 @merindie1 @BenDumesny Any tips on slug control James? We are new to this! Slugs taking off in the Wimmera.

⁦@merindie1⁩ ⁦@BenDumesny⁩ trialling new slug control method at Edenhope. Another inch 🌧 this weekend should confirm strategy🤦🏻

@BenDumesny @merindie1 Another inch and no baiting will be required. 🚣

@merindie1 @JamesHeff80 How’s the rain fast baits performing in that paddock ?

@RichieKirkland2 Usually reserve this amount of rain for July/August combined! Edenhope/Goroke in trouble with another 25mm forecast this weekend @honneragri @GRDCSouth @merindie1

Starting to get a little bit damp down the SE

⁦@merindie1⁩ ⁦@GRDCSouth⁩ couple thousand ha’s checked today and large portion looks like this 👎 slug pressure is as high as I’ve ever experienced

@LindsayAgnew @JarrodClarke7 Whoever you purchased Overwatch from Lindsay will have them. We had a couple dropped off last week to try out

@JarrodClarke7 I am very interested in one of these I just can’t find anywhere that sells them, where abouts did you get it from?

Overwatch/propyzamide MEFI probe working a treat,could actually see the overwatch move down the drum this time but the idea is great no more headaches or mess 👍🏻

So great to get out and about and see and hear about #wool and #shearing tech updates. First time seeing AWIs Race Delivery / Catch and Drag. HOW IMPRESSIVE! 👏🏻✨🐑 Did you know you these engineering plans are available to all in the industry. 👇🏻Link below.

Start putting your plans in place for the Autumn sowing season. The back ground is Dash & Balansa Post Bean crop direct drilled into a pivot. Photo credit to @DeanEastwood7

Hi guys, I’ve written a childrens book, with my son who has a brain injury as the main character. Love you to have a look and purchase if you like. All profits from the book will be donated to Royal Flying Doctor Service. RT’s and any help appreciate m.facebook.com/10008807992660…

Hay fever suffers worst nightmare 🤧 Horizon Phalaris seed crop at Bool Lagoon. Awesome winter growth, step up from Holdfast GT ⁦⁦@BarenbrugAUS⁩ ⁦@NutrienSthEast⁩

@Howelly_Agro Happy to show you a few things. Sing out

@JamesHeff80 thinking about bringing a grower group down to visit you guys at Millicent….. rain here into November… are we part of the new HRZ now? Need to start looking at different crop types, we’re in serious doubt of being finished harvest for the test #longseason #newHRZ

@kentonp_ag @far_australia @NutrienSthEast @SeedForceAU @altmann_craig More early biomass with big red so perhaps small gain for weed competition? cesario had minimal tillering biomass, wouldn’t suit grazing IMO. Big red looked wobbly few weeks ago but hanging in there. I like cesario a lot, something about no awns look💪. Both clean

@JamesHeff80 @far_australia @NutrienSthEast @SeedForceAU @altmann_craig Exciting finish for your part of the world, Can you split anything agronomically (apart from awns) that is worth noting, lodging?

RGT Cesario left, Big Red right battling it out at Conmurra SA for top position for yeild in winter wheats. Disease resistance looks 👌in high pressure year.⁦@far_australia⁩ ⁦@NutrienSthEast⁩ ⁦@kentonp_ag⁩ ⁦@SeedForceAU⁩ ⁦@altmann_craig⁩ ⁦

@andrewefridgway @Howelly_Agro @DMAg_consultant @Sheldon_Hancock @buckets4444 Looks like spear grass. Native

Ask Twitter what is this weed? @Howelly_Agro @DMAg_consultant @Sheldon_Hancock @buckets4444

Maroona Lamb sale time. 2 1/2 weeks away. Good season - 1000 extra lambs on offer.

Just one week to go until we'll be showcasing @theGRDC's HYC trials in Millicent, SA. We have a fantastic line up of speakers including Dave Grant, NZ grower who'll share some top tips for higher yields in NZ, what do their farming systems look like? faraustralia.com.au/archives/event…

@mrlange81 Looking spectacular 🐥!

Best time of the year! Nearly home!! 🤞#oldscope
