@MillieBrady99 Are you seeing consistent results from SE14 on sands in your patch?

Very impressed with this Mowhawk Wheat sown on May 1. Germinated on very marginal moisture in deep sand, with the help of SE14. Competitive shoot biomass and extensive roots. 80 units of N so far. Fingers crossed for spring! 🤞🏻

@damon_fleay Thanks Damon! Will reach out tomorrow

Chasing photos or diagrams of small liquid systems people have put onto seeders, to trial liquids on a small number of tynes? Anything appreciated

@DirectSeeding Very neat, thanks

@henniebotha130 This is the other one we did for Annabelle at Nutrien

@BidstrupJames @cam_ritchie1 @DirectSeeding @damon_fleay Thanks James, looks fairly simple. How did you go calibrating it?

@henniebotha130 @cam_ritchie1 @DirectSeeding Nice work mate, you’re always killing it @cam_ritchie1. Yep this was courtesy of SACOA & @damon_fleay a few years ago.

@TristanClarke20 @damon_fleay Thanks, will flick him a message!

@henniebotha130 @damon_fleay had a good setup a few years ago and may still have it ??

@cam_ritchie1 @DirectSeeding @BidstrupJames Thanks, will follow it up

@henniebotha130 Full FMSA set up on a plot seeder, set up for me by @DirectSeeding in Albany. I think it might have been @BidstrupJames had a photo of friction flow lines being run off a 70L atv spray tank ratchet straped to the bar?

@luckyimalad @Bec_Swift_ @SJB_Ag @JoelTheGinger @AHagboom @AJenko12 @DarcyCobley Reckon we could source a Gleaner?

@henniebotha130 @Bec_Swift_ @SJB_Ag @JoelTheGinger @AHagboom @AJenko12 @DarcyCobley Broken down sorry mate

Final week of measurements for our oats biomass trial. We harvested biomass samples today which will be dried and weighed. There seemed to be a difference across each nitrogen treatment, variety and biomass. @Bec_Swift_ @SJB_Ag @JoelTheGinger @AHagboom @AJenko12 @DarcyCobley

@luckyimalad @Bec_Swift_ @SJB_Ag @JoelTheGinger @AHagboom @AJenko12 @DarcyCobley Bit green for the 8800, might need the Massey if you’re free ?

@henniebotha130 @Bec_Swift_ @SJB_Ag @JoelTheGinger @AHagboom @AJenko12 @DarcyCobley Wheeling the big 8800 into those plots champ?

@luckyimalad @RyleeUSA2022 Debatable topic, potentially a person who likes taking risks each time they drive

Week 8 measurements of our oats biomass trial. Difference between varieties is easily seen. Single nitrogen application seems to look better than the split application in plot 1. @Bec_Swift_ @SJB_Ag @DarcyCobley @JoelTheGinger @AJenko12 @AHagboom

Week 6 measurements of our oats biomass trial. Applied the remaining 30 units to the split nitrogen treatment. Plenty of snails within the plots, along with lots of clover within one of the two plots. @AJenko12 @AHagboom @DarcyCobley @JoelTheGinger @SJB_Ag @Bec_Swift_

@luckyimalad @AJenko12 @JoelTheGinger @AHagboom @DarcyCobley @SJB_Ag @Bec_Swift_ Not sure how uni will feel about the preferred control method… See you here later?

@henniebotha130 @AJenko12 @JoelTheGinger @AHagboom @DarcyCobley @SJB_Ag @Bec_Swift_ Looks like roo damage to me champ 👍 better get that sorted

Week 5 of measurements of our oats experiment. Can clearly see different nitrogen treatments within each plot. Looking to apply the final nitrogen treatments next week. @AJenko12 @JoelTheGinger @AHagboom @DarcyCobley @SJB_Ag @Bec_Swift_

Week 4 measurements of our oats biomass trial. Different Nitrogen treatments becoming obvious within the plots. Potential potassium deficiency is still evident. Still monitoring for pests and disease. @JoelTheGinger @DarcyCobley @AHagboom @AJenko12 @Bec_Swift_ @SJB_Ag

Week 3 measurements of our oats biomass experiment for our ADV Cropping unit. Starting to see disease and potential potassium deficiency in some areas of the plots. Otherwise, coming along nicely! @SJB_Ag @Bec_Swift_ @AHagboom @JoelTheGinger @DarcyCobley @AJenko12

@luckyimalad @JoelTheGinger @DarcyCobley @AJenko12 @AHagboom @SJB_Ag @Bec_Swift_ Yeah bud, impressed with spread pattern, was having a few issues with section control but we got it sorted

@henniebotha130 @JoelTheGinger @DarcyCobley @AJenko12 @AHagboom @SJB_Ag @Bec_Swift_ You drop tray testing that spreader arm there champ?

Week 2 measurements of our oats biomass experiment for our ADV Cropping unit. Spread our first nitrogen application, 80 units on treatment 1 and 50 units on treatment 2 (split application). Plants at GS21-26. @JoelTheGinger @DarcyCobley @AJenko12 @AHagboom @SJB_Ag @Bec_Swift_
