@therealbiztang @SAPowerNetworks @bigbushelsag There's been a couple of devastating fires down this way due to poorly maintained power poles, everyone lost more than a little bit of crop. We find it's best to let them do their job because we all appreciate the convenience of a fridge to keep the beer cold.

What’s peoples experience in making a clam to @SAPowerNetworks for crop loss? Be handy if you this during autumn or early winter before a crop comes up. I bet @bigbushelsag was driving too.

@AMC_DirtDollars I feel like this is half the debate, the technology is all there so why isn't it being used?

@TimEckert7 QR codes are old tech & smart devices are entrenched in the industry. What's the holdback? If the QR code was scanned & entered straight into your inventory that would be amazing too.

Update on QR codes on chem drums: from the feedback I've received from growers and chem companies it appears there is alot of support for this, one company appears ready to go but is waiting for industry/on farm technology to catch up so my question is; where do we go from here?

**Question Farmers** My AGLP project will look into educating growers around the carbon space. With so much noise around Carbon projects, Carbon sequestration, Emission intensities and much more I though I’d ask the question - Are you comfortable with your knowledge on Carbon?

G'day from Meningie SA, got a spot on a future agleaders program and my project focus is on efficiency in chemical recording on farm. Question is, should all chemical drums have a QR code on them containing chem name/active/strength/batch number/DOM to assist with record keeping?

@LethleanG Correct. Do you feel like this should be a national standard for our supply chain, from manufacture to boomspray?

@TimEckert7 Yes would be a great idea! On label and on drum would be perfect! Resellers should be recording who is taking what from store as well! So if problems or recalls happen batches can be easily traced and would help resellers with stock takes if done correctly 👍

@agskillsvic Yes I agree @agskillsvic I feel like most rural people have the same issue in one way or another so this is a very important point

@TimEckert7 That QR code would need to go direct to an app to record whilst not requiring internet connection. Having worked out your way, there are major black spots. Having worked in Khancoban they laughed at the QR codes on Chem drums, since they had no reception to QR the labels up.

@Jeremyw02517075 @Jeremyw02517075 I'm not entirely sure, I'd have to do some homework on this. I would be surprised if they couldn't be .... would make life easy if they could.

@TimEckert7 Can QR codes be re written? So the containers can be re used once you return them

@KirstieAndo @KirstieAndo maybe there needs to be an industry standard put in place? It would be ideal to have everything that is legally required by law for record keeping

@TimEckert7 Yes please, we did a couple of focus groups with ag Chen suppliers on this topic, as always more complex than it sounds. Software sets up chemicals differently, so ideally there is a unique code for each and every product or you reduce the info simply to batch and expiry…

@Howelly_Agro Could agree more @Howelly_Agro we all know labels don't last that long. Even a separate sticker up the top of drum would work well

@TimEckert7 Yes it should but not on the label, it should be permanently fixed to the drum so that it isn’t subject to cutting off or damage.

@TimEckert7 Probably need a link to the sds as well. Sounds like a good idea. We are using more QR codes for lots of things. Works great

Currently working on a project to increase farm financial literacy in farmers aged between 20-30. Ahead of the project kicking off next week I have a few questions: What do you wish you knew in your 20's about farm finance? How do you learn the best? eg workshop, podcast

We’re having fuel pump problems with our M200 windrower with a C6.6 cat made under license by Perkins. No pumps in australia and having trouble finding anyone at Cat or Perkins who can help. If anyone could point us in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Seedmaster gurus. This is current running pressure when I have it wound up to 1700 target pressure. Do I have a hydraulic fitting failing on the return, a tyne ram bypassing or maybe both
