@digs_bee Well done mate. I expected to see epic harvest photos. 🤞hopefully no frost

180mm gsr 235mm for the year So we’ve just ticked over our long term average growing season rain with another month to go 👌🏼

While things are looking good I thought I should take some photos! Needs some rain and no frost to finish but could be one of our better years. on a slightly wetter year everything is a little short on N(range from 35-65N) Photos;combat, sceptre, bolt/thunder and griffon canola

@digs_bee It will this year mate

@gazzbarnes Big canola doesn’t exist around here 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

Conditions are pretty good! Pretty rare canola gets seeded into moisture 🤞🏻 for more rain

@hirschirsch It crashed on 3 devices for me with 1.5mins to go.

Merredin Farms Clearing Sale Auction site has died at quite an inconvenient time

@waringaag @Geringhoff And when will they finally go for sale?

RnD is vital for the Australian conditions. We have carried out an extensive RnD program alongside @Geringhoff here in Aus over the past couple of seasons to ensure the Geringhoff fronts exceed the expectations of our growers and customers.

Be interesting to compare seedling vigour. 2022 massive seed but low protein vs 2023 high protein and small dark seed.

@Scottymorgs1082 Similar story here. Only thing that kind of worked was citronella. Kids can’t swim and it seems once bees are use to the pool it’s hard work getting them to drink somewhere else. Fipronil is only option left.

I know it’s hot an bees need water but this is ridiculous. Might be easier to fill the pool with dirt at this rate

@ashtongray01 @cbh Cbh ran a trial a few years ago on barley optimisation. They only did it at a couple of sites but I remember pithara was one of them as it was a barley only site. I forget why but they dropped it pretty quick.

Barley Optimization, HAS to be a better system. Heavily cropped (low Protien/high retention) and barley grown on pasture (high Protien/low retention). Separately going feed, together would go MALT. Time @CBH bring in grower averaging where you can opt to run your own average.

@TristanClarke20 @whitfert @DPIRDbroadacre @LiebeGroup @WMG_WA @JarrodClarke7 That sure ain’t Dalwallinu

@whitfert @DPIRDbroadacre @LiebeGroup @WMG_WA Pretty sure those photos are in bolgart …. @JarrodClarke7

@awmills_aaron Still November!

@PetworthFarms @beautyson05 Cheers mate Do you have one operating this year? I was told the only chance I can get a new macdon is with a new header.

@gazzbarnes @beautyson05 FD250 does canola very well Gaz. D140 was hopeless

Such a lovely day R4022P making the header work hard today

@awmills_aaron Your lupins look alright

@AlexGrove680 Sorry mate. I feel for you guys up there. Wishing you some more luck

Be some thin canola crops around. 3 rain events since seeding all 4mm or less. 💩👎 dry Shot dead or swollen take your pick

@bentags LSW are no good. We are having to source tyres for our SP sprayer out of America. The local dealer and head office cant get tyres either. Rang nearly every tyre shop I know of

Does anyone, preferably in WA, have a source for one of these tyres? I'm hearing that supply is..... not great. This is a Goodyear Optitrac, not sure about other options. #AgTwitter

@hirschirsch Nice looks outfit

@awmills_aaron @AlexGrove680 So what’s going in tank? Just seed?

Check out this job on SEEK: seek.com.au/job/60913587?t…. Who wants to move to Morawa 🌾?

@awmills_aaron Well done

@Mistadamage @ipaddockapps @WAFarmers Not a fan at all. Western power got bogged in one of our recently deep ripped paddocks last year several times. No phone call before entering property or after damage was done. We found out the day we tried to seed paddock. We had to stop the seeder to fix up the mess.

Whats people's thoughts on managing biosecurity with a Western Power grid through the farm? I know these trucks weren't decontaminated since driving through other farms. I can see snails especially taking off from these tracks. Is there a legal right to biosecurity?@WAFarmers
