Laura Bennett

The faces of some very happy West Aussie farmers! 😁 341 days since our last double digit rainfall event (and not a moment too soon) Mother Nature has delivered the 2024 break ☔️ I’d like to thank long term datasets and sunny, wind free days for keeping me sane up until now 😂

Feeling very privileged after being awarded both the Young Farmer of the Year, and Excellence in Innovation awards. I’m so grateful for the recognition, have loved the experience, and am looking forward to what’s to come. Thanks to @KondininGroup @ABCNetwork @maccas @Telstra

Meet @BradEgan24, all the way from Scaddan, WA. At the @ausfarmerawards he won both the 2022: - Award for Excellence in Innovation - Young Farmer of the Year Congrats Brad!

Live on national television and absolutely nailed it. So proud of you @BradEgan24 👏🥳

Congrats to WA ag legend @BradEgan24 for winning the @KondininGroup 2022 Young Farmer of the Year! #ausfarmerawards @ABCrural @ausfarmerawards

What an absolute legend 🤩 I’ve known @BradEgan24 was an incredible farmer from the moment we met, so I’m so proud and excited to see him recognised for the phenomenal impact he continues to have on his own operation and the wider Ag industry 🌾🏆

2nd term SEPWA rep: Laura Bennett Managing PA across multiple farms means I’ll always advocate for reliable data collection, useful system integrations and seamless data migration. Remember: like cash hidden under your mattress, data is only valuable if you use it!

Proud of @BradEgan24 for achieving huge results in what has been a hard slog of a year. Data backed decisions, understanding your numbers and using the best Ag tech - trust me when I say it’s worth it 💪🌾

Ingenious way of marking out variety trials @flanderspaul1 😂 one guess what canola this is… @NuseedAustralia

SEPWA Representative - Laura Bennett PA Manager for Warakirri/Daybreak Cropping. Passionate about utilising readily available farm data to make better informed decisions and ultimately drive yield & cost-effective productivity. Lives by: “You can’t manage what you don’t measure”

@CasFarmerCD That’s it! And make sure you have the patience of a saint to go and pick up all of the roots you pull up/fill in the trenches made by the ripper if it’s next to a line of pines 🤣

@Laura_Aggie Im sure you know the solutions, rip the blessed tree roots as deep as you can, double the clay rate near the pines or scrub. But the best thing for wind erosion on non wetting sand is to get rid of the trees!

No words to describe the thrill of watching canola emerge on a b**tard of a non-wetting headland next to a line of trees 😂 god speed little ones! #justfarmerthings

🕯️Burning the candle at both ends 🕯️ First EZI (zoom edition) committee meeting we managed to sneak in between the pre-seeding mayhem last night. Defining the direction of the group in the coming months, expect to hear more from us going forward.

This memory popped up today, reminding me that 2 years ago the first crop of #Warakirri grads presented our research projects to the board. Fitting that today the third group of grads are about to undertake the exact same task. Can’t wait to see what they achieve 💪 #imgettingold

@OwenPerks8 😳😳😳 hope you took your lunch with you!

The joys of harvest

@brendancclynch Yay! Thanks for letting me know. Unsure why my content was flagged as sensitive 🤔 too much ag chat perhaps 😂

@Laura_Aggie I can see your posts now!

3 days into harvest and I’m already missing the growing season 😭 #takemeback

@therealbiztang This one was luckily not far off the edge of the field. Spotted it on my morning walk after the paddock had been freshly swathed

@Laura_Aggie I’ve never found a lost phone yet. But pretty impressed to find it you happen to spot it or just hoped out at right time?

Story of the day: discovered an iPhone in my freshly swathed canola crop. Looked to have been there a while (pre petal drop). Turns out it’s rightful owner lost it in Sept 2019. Plugged it in and it works! Survived >350mm rainfall, 8 chem sprays, harvest, slashing and seeding 😂
