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

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.

@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.

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

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

@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?

@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
