Australian Prime Hard - A new premium wheat quality grade for Vic and SA. AGT wheat variety Sunmaster is now available with an Australian Prime Hard (APH) quality classification in both Victoria and South Australia. Historically, Australian Hard (AH) has been the highest quality classification available for wheat in Victoria and South Australia. However, recent changes to the Australian wheat quality classification system has opened up opportunities for APH wheat to be grown outside of NSW and Queensland. This may be of particular interest to farmers who have previously grown Suntop wheat – the predecessor to Sunmaster, and being familiar with its agronomic traits might be interested in planting the newer, higher yielding Sunmaster variety with a view to achieving APH quality. While no APH segregations or delivery points currently exist in Vic or SA, these may develop in response to wider growth of APH classified varieties in these areas. A fact sheet outlining the new APH classification in Vic and SA can be downloaded here: bit.ly/3IdTVvO The full Victorian Sunmaster fact sheet can be downloaded here: agtbreeding.com.au/varieties/whea… If you have any questions regarding growing Sunmaster in Victoria, seed availability, or the new APH classification, please contact Rob Harris, AGT Variety Support Manager, on 0429 576 044 or via email: Rob.Harris@agtbreeding.com.au

Looking to hire: 30ft flex front suited to John Deere 9600. Preferably located in great southern region for easy transport to Scott River. For harvesting summer lupin production. PM me if you have one available. Retweets appreciated.

This load of wheat began it’s journey in 2006. CSIRO & Limagrain did the early work to produce a very high fibre wheat. AGT bred the trait into a commercial variety. And the Cowan family of Minyip have delivered Load 1 of a very exciting project ⁦@agtbreeding⁩

Preparations before tomorrow’s field/shed day. Baker Seed Co’s insulated sheds are an ideal environment to increase the longevity of seed, also a handy option to host a field day when 40mm is forecasted.
