There are some amazing thunder head formations to our SE. The radar is showing storm activity on the E side of YP.
Can anyone down that way confirm if it is stormy, or is it another radar glitch? 🧐🧐🧐
"Testing, testing... say 'hay' to Hart's intern"
UPDATE 5, the final edition (😢) from our 2020 intern, @BriannaGuidera.
A great read, including an update on National Hay Agronomy results and a summary of Bri's year with Hart.

Back when I first started Agronomy, ~25 years ago, you had 3 things in the ute. A triplicate reco pad, a folder of info, and this thing.
Now, it’s iPads, soil pH kits, soil thermometers, brix meters & green seekers to name a few things.
The only constant is the 1/10 🔲 meter!
@RobinMSchaefer Definitely needs a reprimand. No shirt no pay! And we get stuck into researches who don’t use the logo. Seems like we need to work closer to home.
Typical few days harvesting research trials in the Mallee: harvested some good crop, harvested some poor crop, chaser bin driving research style and trying to get things fixed on a Sunday afternoon while 400 km from home😃
Two bits of good news. 1, fortunately this girls mummy is not on Twitter and 2, I've found myself a useful helper next time I put up a Temp/humidity sensor on a 10m tower
Seed coating technology shows promise for non-wetting soils. Seed coatings with wetters applied at 0.065–0.325 L/ha achieved similar increases in plant density, tiller number, biomass & nutrient uptake as wetters applied to the furrow at 1–5 L/ha: bit.ly/2IYRu2X
What's the best strategy for profitable break crops in the Mallee? @RobinMSchaefer and @Moodie_ag discuss the SAGIT-funded trial aiming to answer that question.
