@tony_swan64 @UniofAdelaide @RC_daSilva @theGRDC @mjknowling_ Fantastic to see the collaboration

Thanks to @UniofAdelaide researchers Chris Preston & @RC_daSilva for walking me through their new @thegrdc farming systems trial at Roseworthy today. It was great to hear their philosophy about this trial & the other 8. Photo 3- Chris with his lentil/wheat intercrop. Thanks 🙏

@agintegrity @AdvConsultants @EverestToday Best of luck reaching the summit. Thoughts are with the family who lost three Sherpa’s this season making a path up the glacier. We did EBC, just before the snow hit, loved every minute.

I am doing a thing ... Brisbane lawyer Trent Thorne will embark this week on a journey to Nepal to summit Mt Everest, completing a lifelong dream to get to the top of the world’s tallest peak couriermail.com.au/business/cityb… @AdvConsultants @EverestToday #everest2023

@worrolong @theGRDC @UWAresearch @DPIRDbroadacre @MurdochUni @SoilsWest yes

@theGRDC @UWAresearch @DPIRDbroadacre @MurdochUni @SoilsWest Will this project explore strategies to reduce N losses as well as where current losses are occurring?

A new national research project is investigating the dynamics of nitrogen (N) cycling and losses across a range of soil and environmental conditions within the Australian grains industry: bit.ly/3DIa9fh @UWAresearch @DPIRDbroadacre @MurdochUni @SoilsWest

@agronomeiste @latrobe @UniMelb Just a new office then?

Today is my last day at @latrobe before I start as Professor of Agronomy & Crop Science at @UniMelb Thanks to my colleagues for their support and collegiality, and particular thanks to all the students that I have had the fortune to teach or supervise in the last 6 years 👍😀

@lindsaywbell @gsandral @dr_dirt_oz @GRDCNorth what was the difference ( if any) in starting soil water between the two systems?

How do chickpea yields respond to fallow water accumulation? Perfect opportunity for comparisons this year at #farmingsystemsnorth core site. Left - double-cropped after sorghum vs Right - fallow after wheat. @dr_dirt_oz @GRDCNorth

Rain delays have kept cotton picking/sowing at bay. We’ve reached polishing tractors stage of keeping casual staff busy cause I’m not game to let the good ones go! #backpackershortage

@AgroJAK @theGRDC @CSIRO @Master4Colin have you had a discussion with JK? So many factors to consider re emergence that you know better than most. Including single factor and interactions of the following; temp , depth, size and seed composition and not in that order!

Seeking canola genetics that assist in emergence from depth beyond seed size and hybrids. Field screen at 2 and 5cm to check lab screens ⁦@theGRDC⁩ @CSIRO Boorowa Experiment Station

@ludeydookie @cropmad @tony_swan64 Did stubble treatments influence crop development/ days to maturity?

@cropmad @tony_swan64 Had a stubble trial at home a few years ago with temperature sensors in each one, burnt,windrowed straw off, mulched through harvester and knee high stubble. Long stubble was the worst in frost, resulting in colder conditions and for a longer period as well as the lowest yielding

How’s the Stripper vs Draper trial looking @tony_swan64 ? Canola breaking all the rules over at home!!

@Queensland_FSR @GRDCNorth @CRC_NA @QAAFI @NorthernGulf Impressive work team.

Checking on De-Risking Broadacre Cropping trials in Northern Queensland, with FAW in panicles under control, thanks to ⁦@GRDCNorth⁩ ⁦@CRC_NA⁩ ⁦@QAAFI⁩ ⁦@NorthernGulf⁩

@Queensland_FSR Daniel?

@rgkcricket What was the seeding rate/ha?

Harvesting SHO Safflower, 3ha area.

@kentonp_ag @far_australia Great addition to their team, all the best KP

Very much looking forward to joining the highly professional team @far_australia and continuing to contribute to the industry I love #cropsfordays #nolongeracroweater

@jlaycock55 maybe you need to invest in a spreader (NSW DPI Tamworth did it), unless of course you are worried about herbicide residue or nutrient transfer between plots, or perhaps not getting another year like it!

Been a while since I’ve had this problem 😁

@Master4Colin @GrainOrana Disappointing

Thinking of those who have unfortunately found themselves under some unwanted storm clouds in central NSW. Significant hail damage to the Tottenham/Fifield canola trial site yesterday, nervous wait for everyone #gutted

@jlaycock55 amazing James, you can spot N and P responses out your window with one hand on the steering wheel. That is professional experience for you.

@GregBrooke1 @GRDCNorth @NSWDPI_AGRONOMY @gentry_jayne @kathihertel @lindsaywbell High end yields that will cause system divergence for certain metrics/ measures.

Getting to the business end of the season now at the Trangie farming systems (grey soil site) Wheat/canola and fabas in 2020 showcased next week at field day sessions @GRDCNorth @NSWDPI_AGRONOMY @gentry_jayne @kathihertel @lindsaywbell

@BASF_Agro_Au @Richardholzkne ...,,an active ‘ingredient’ in developing innovative solutions for Australian growers

Our Tamworth research farm has just celebrated its 5th birthday, & what a difference five years makes! From an unassuming cow paddock to an irrigated, multi-crop trial site, it's played an active role in developing innovative solutions for Australian growers #ConfidenceGrowsHere

@lindsaywbell Reuse it for pass the parcel

A delivery just arrived - a logger inside a box inside a box inside a box complete with packaging in each. It could have been dropped from the plane as it flew over with no damage!

@lindsaywbell Looks like that soil could hold abit of moisture and provide essential nutrients to produce that biomass. #Grazingwithnosheep

Our research on forage brassicas is showing their potential in the mixed farming regions even over the drought of the last few years mla.com.au/news-and-event…

@lindsaywbell What is that green stuff on the right of the plots?

Mungbeans sown 12 days later (3 Feb) - should have less soil water so it will be interesting to see if these differences greatly impacts yields or not

Mungbeans sown on 22 Jan ⁦@theGRDC⁩ northern farming systems core research site. Fantastic ground coverage and biomass already - just needs to convert to yield now
