Ben went back with the baiter. Be interesting to see this to me tomorrow night

I was doing a job on the boom spray in that exact same spot. The mice were just coming up to see what I was doing

Bye bye lupins 🐭

A few that dodged the mice. Then the rest of the paddock got plucked before they got going. Never mind, the good folk at @APVMA have been collecting a wage for months whilst deliberating the merits of ZP50.

Mouse 26. Learnt that after a fire if there’s any mice activity Kelly chain before seeding 😢

This is a paddock that we burnt 2 weeks ago. All the little mounds of dirt in the first picture are mouse holes. ZP50 permits please @APVMA

I’ll just leave another one here Not the worst seen for the night but the only video I took. @APVMA

@WheatWatcher It's not a potential mouse plague but an actual one here. ZP50 anyone? @apvma

Burnt and sown to canola. 3 days later footage taken. Think the mice have a taste for canola seeds… 1kg of 25gai ain’t going to cut it here. Hoping it’s not a re seed...@APVMA @MouseAlert

Went for a fox hunt tonight. Established that there is a pretty high level of food for them in the paddocks. Like I was astounded to see the mice numbers.

Mouse numbers are rising in parts of WA ahead of seeding. Reports north of Geraldton show up to 40 burrows per 100 m² — well above the 2–3 burrows that signal concern. Monitor paddocks now and prepare to bait at sowing if mice are present. @CSIRO @MouseAlert More: bit.ly/4d44mSQ #GRDC #MouseManagement

Richard is a grain farmer who is not afraid to acknowledge the stressors that can come with farming—things like droughts, fluctuating commodity prices and even tariffs. In this video, he shares a couple of his coping strategies. #proudtobeafarmer

👀 Check out this incredible thermal footage captured by @Warraboy last month, showing mice activity in sorghum crops & stubble near Warra, QLD 🐭 Ideal conditions have caused a surge in mice populations across cropping areas on the Darling Downs, southern QLD & northern NSW We're urging all growers to inspect their paddocks & log local activity @MouseAlert | @CSIRO

ESCALATING mice numbers have been reported on cropping properties in QLD between January and April 2025 – after a big winter-crop harvest left more feed in paddocks. MORE with GPA Director & @AgForceQLD Grains President Brendan Taylor @Warraboy -> rebrand.ly/89a163

WATCH NOW: Putting common cropping decision ‘rules’ to the test - bringing together intuition and analysis (webinar). ▶️ bit.ly/448gJJo CSIRO’s Rick Llewellyn & Brendan Brown from the RiskWi$e initiative talked through the latest findings on the range of common approaches to on-farm decision making and the achievable steps to getting decisions more right more often. #FarmBusiness #GRDCUpdate #RiskWise #DecisionMaking

A natural fungal agent is being explored for use against flaxleaf fleabane #weeds. GRDC has invested in the search for biocontrol agents that can reduce the weed’s growth, ability to compete for soil moisture, & set seed. The project involves 2 phases. The first phase, led by @CSIRO’s Dr @GoodenBen, is now complete. Learn more (including what happens next) via bit.ly/3RsyR8Z

Keep an eye out for mice!
