Dion Bennett

Long shot any body northern Ag region have any coyote lupins couple tonne what ever, last deal fell through. @cosfarming @bentags @JarradKupsch #Agtwitter @agtbreeding

@jsawyer97 Not sure how big the tins would be - have you seen the size of a wheat spike?!?

New technology we should be able to implement into the WA breeding program @dionbenAGT?

@jasonreiny @jsawyer97 @dekmatthew Rosey trials there, thats @jamesedwardsAGT problem! Something like that wouldnt make it out of the population stage in the elite WA program :)

@jsawyer97 @dekmatthew Cull that tall one @dionbenAGT ;)

Now how's this for a lineup? Awesome to see four going at once, absolutely smashing it. And for those with OCD like me I'll make sure the combs are all the same hight next time #plottingaway

Our first wheat variety release of the year, STING. This one is a WA specialist, looking at a Corack type maturity but with much improved yield and AH quality. Find out more here: bit.ly/StingWA

@SJB_Ag No worries, thanks to you and the group for the great questions and discussion

Thanks @dionbenAGT for showing the students on #CurtinAgTour the AGT wheat and lupin breeding field sites. Certainly helps the students understand the scale of the operation and the time taken to new variety release.

@JC6450 @SteveCocking1 We ve got Illabo classified AH in the west now, WQA website should be updated soon but agree with Jeremy, still work to be done on the exact fit of winters over here

@SteveCocking1 Both feed according to Wheat Quality Australia website. Regardless, winter wheats need to be suited to the environment (flower at right time under our envt conditions) so the winter wheat that’s optimal for Vic could be too long for WA/Esperance.

Any word on classification of Illabo and Bennett in WA? @JC6450

@BrentonLeske Yep, if we survive this whirlwind tour of the prairies

@dionbenAGT Will you be at the IWC?

Rain settling now at AIM19. Lots to see great displays. Big show!!

It wouldnt be seeding without an autoelec call out. Of course with only 2 hrs of seeding left with this machine. And shout out to our dedicated tech and breeding team getting plot seeding done in terrible dusty conditions, bring on the rain and less wind

@bradgos @Doctor_650 @TressWalmsley 🤔

@Doctor_650 @TressWalmsley @dionbenAGT 😂

Att Wheat breeders. What about we cross Brome grass with wheat and no matter how deep, gutless, dry, non wetting our soil is and what chemical we use. It will always germinate on the 1st of May. #GRDC #plant19 #seeding19 #justsaying

@JamesPreuss Good to see they are still going!

@dionbenAGT thought of you mate 😎👌

@FarmerTonyWhite @GRDCWest Strange that falling numbers r ok. Scepter and ninja rated well in DPIRD rain simulator test but not bullet proof for tolerance. PHS tol is a tough trait to breed for, often at expense of yield but is on our radar to continue improving. @GRDCWest pre breeding investments helping

@dionbenAGT @GRDCWest Sounds fair to me. Falling Numbers are fine. Just shits me that breeders are giving us wheats with that trait. Maybe if our grain falls out of milling grade due to weather damage breeders don’t get end point royalty. That would soon fix it.

Interesting fact @GRDCWest ! Scepter and ninja wheats are being done for sprouting but passing falling numbers. No summer rain. What is the problem?

@jcan78 Your view looks a bit less dusty than Johns!

@Daniel_Kidd01 @IOA_UWA Late rains will help scepter but might help that rye even more! Will be intersted to see final results...

Putting Scepter to the test! @dionbenAGT #UWA @IOA_UWA #DPIRD

I have 90 ton Sceptre for sale. Anyone interested

@rebetzke_0 @uwanews I thought you would spot that! Coupe too, was pretty nice

Great morning out with the young fella at #classiccarsandcoffee checking out some of perths rarer road going metal and raising money for prostate cancer research. Thanks @uwanews for use of the carpark

@AaronEdmonds9 @AgronomyUkraine “Poor protein converters” is another way of saying “high yield converters”. What pays more: protein or yield? Use sufficient N and we will get more of both 👍🏻💪🏻 Can I have more “poor protein converters” please
