@Murray_Sharman Can I use “Potential Gossypium species surveillence” as a reason to make all pub visits tax deductible?

Gossypium sturtianum in pub carpark, Hawker, South Australia. Not a plant I was expecting to see this far south!

@Murray_Sharman Any virus symptoms?

@BoltenFritz Goodness - best wishes for the recovery.

Return from travels got a call I’d better stay in Perth as my wife was on an RFDS from Knx. Super fit, now with a pace maker installed. Think about all the people who don’t have such incredible medical care. I’d like to encourage you all to support others without medical support

When it comes to pesticide spraying "the label is the law!" WAND plays a critical role in reducing risks of off-target spraying BUT it is not a "licence to spray." Be sure to also follow the 5 commandments of best practice spraying & spray in accordance with labels🚜

@sarahclarry @KeyWater1 @CottonAustralia @SouthernValleys @summitagconsult @CottonInfoAust @NamoiCotton @CottonResearch @nigelcorish @csd_cotton Sarah can you send me a message please?

A very switched-on 3rd yr Agribusiness student is looking to do a 3-week internship in the cotton industry. Willing to travel, any role & time. Can you help? @CottonAustralia @SouthernValleys @summitagconsult @CottonInfoAust @NamoiCotton @CottonResearch @nigelcorish @csd_cotton

WAND is free. It doesn’t take long to register. It really helps with spray decision making. While you are having lunch today, pause Twitter and spend the 5 minutes to register and have a look. And then text the link to your neighbours and tell them to do the same

A weather warning system is now live for QLD grain and cotton growers. The system – Weather and Networked Data or WAND – will provide real time weather data about the presence and absence of hazardous temperature inversions: bit.ly/3Pk0IGv @CottonResearch @GoannaAg

Access to WAND is free for #cotton and #grain growers and spray applicators. Learn more > crdc.com.au/spray-hazard-w… Sign up > wand.com.au 🧵 #ausag #agchatoz #cotton23 #spraydrift

Important news today for #cotton & #grain growers and #spray applicators: A major milestone has been reached in the effort to help minimise #spraydrift, with a hazardous #weather warning system now fully operational in QLD + underway in NSW. @theGRDC @CottonResearch

AquaTill is new tech for post-harvest dryland #cotton destruction. It uses a liquid jetstream generated by 50,000psi & operates near Mach3 (🤯) to cut through plant matter. Developed by @FlowWaterjet & the SA NoTill Farmers Assoc, with support from CRDC. Now taking orders! 🙌

@conway8225 @MerryConaty - recommendations for activities for kids Nth NSW?

Family holiday time! Trying to plan our return drive from Sydney back to Theodore. Any suggestions on fun things to see, do along the way? Kids 7,9,11. No set travel path yet. Good bakery/pub feeds acceptable suggestions for dad!!

CRDC-supported #research from @WesternSydneyU has uncovered a new #plantbased compound to combat #pests. A rare opportunity exists for a #commercial partner to further develop the early-stage #biopesticide with global market potential: growag.com/highlights/art… #ausag #innovation

A $5.5m investment to help minimise #spraydrift has just been announced by @theGRDC, CRDC & @GoannaAg. Together we're developing a hazardous #weather warning system to provide #realtime weather data & alerts to #growers/spray operators re temp #inversions: crdc.com.au/major-partners…

@WeedSeeker_Au Love your sunset photo but would suggest adding a reminder about the high risk of surface temperatures inversion from before sunset to after sunrise.
