@TRethus @ipaddockapps What’s your rotation ?

@ipaddockapps No change. Stick to the rotation.

Your legume area this year #iykyk

@Tedthekelpie @melrose6405 @1800weevil What’s a water extinguisher ?

@melrose6405 @1800weevil Have you got a water extinguisher? Super handy, reckon it’s saved our header a couple of times

Header fire extinguishers, a) can you get them tested and rebadged? And b) if so, any reco’s as to where you can take them to be done?(assuming Perth?) @1800weevil

@nig_michael greater the angle the better

For the offset angle sowing crew what is the minimum angle of offset to improve germination in canola? Someone said 2° but couldn’t imagine it would be enough.

@DirtSouthern @Stirlings2Coast @theGRDC Is there a link or report with results?

TRD 2025 A brilliant presentation from Day Fay @Stirlings2Coast about all things Claying and a review of final results from the @theGRDC Claying efficiency trial. Great insights into how to best implement Claying on your properties.

@robbert115 @pbl1972 @kentonp_ag @AgroJAK @eyres_N Need to look at everything including feed quality and animal type (dry, wet, lamb at foot) and be careful with advice. Feed quality is often not good enough for pregnant or lambing ewes. Using high nitrogen rates can be toxic also even when outside recommended withholding

Grazing dual purpose grain crops has been extensively studied in the last 15-20 years but adoption has remained somewhat low. Please see the few polls 👇 to share what seems to work (or doesn’t) about the concept.

@S_M_Bowman @JohnDeere You can just gotta push a few more buttons

Hey @JohnDeere can you please make your Gen4 screens able to view the whole paddock. Such a backwards move from the 2630s 🤦‍♂️

@robbert115 *Flowering

@robbert115 At what growth stage were these sprayed ? Have you done any trials for seed set when sprayed with either gly or para at flowing or traditional spraytop/crop top timing ? Thanks for all to good work

Difference between glyphosate (1.8kg ai, LHS) and paraquat (0.75kg ai, RHS) resistance when it comes to seed set from survivors. Paraquat resistant ARG will set less than half (will measure in ~month). See 👇👇 the difference when either herbicide is mixed with a residual product

@sabbott02 @lingy_smith Just give them more time I think.

I need a beans agronomist. Massive vegetative growth, lots of flowers and bees but the flowers fall off and no pods form. Soil pH is neutral to alkaline.

Macdon drive roller mod courtesy of i-paddock. Puts an end to stripped rollers when the key inevitably comes loose. 2 cap screws clamp the hub to the hydromotor shaft

@ipaddockapps @Mattycampbell16

@hirschirsch @Tedthekelpie Yeah ours usually get us out of trouble but it’s more snapping hydraulic fittings when break out and there’s only 38 of a 40 Tyne bar

@mickswarb @Tedthekelpie Performance pretty good. But only 2yo stubble to really test it out this year. I’ll tell you next year after our big 4t cereals

Do coulters make seeding into hard pasture country easier?

@hirschirsch @Tedthekelpie Have they improved? Ours are an afterthought

@hirschirsch @Tedthekelpie Was 60k in 2015, be surprised if it’s gone down

@kentonp_ag @AndrewThomfarms Did the smaller plants come up on a rain then or is it all from subsurface moisture ?

the only plot we have established in the absence of Autumn rainfall in 2024 (no irrigation from me either) the reason…subsurface moisture thanks to @AndrewThomfarms spraying summer weeds, sown slighter deeper, large seed, good residue cover. How do we do this more often?

@hirschirsch @Tedthekelpie @agbyte_leet @GRDCWest Yeah cool we nervously went 40 mm this year but looks to have worked. Was wondering how far could push it

@mickswarb @Tedthekelpie @agbyte_leet @GRDCWest We thought we were dry seeding here so 10mm. But in the past I’ve gone down to 55mm to chase moisture. If dry on top it doesn’t crust so seems to be ok

@hirschirsch @Tedthekelpie @agbyte_leet @GRDCWest How deep did you go ?

@Tedthekelpie @agbyte_leet Would really like some more research in this space to help with that decision @GRDCWest . My gut says yes. But perhaps in March I’d go with 2.0mm retained seed @ 4kg/ha 60mm deep if I’m rolling the dice.

@MeredithGuthr15 @grantcropcircl1 @BOM_au @wallworksimon Oh shit @thetreecrab

@BOM_au ACCESS outlook for winter is looking more positive and skill is good. You can look at individual locations also - a wetter June and July for you @wallworksimon ! 🤞 #climate

@LeighStrange1 @ipaddockapps What is following crop after 750 ml of reflex ?

@ipaddockapps 750ml of reflex PSPE 👍 save Sakura for the cereal phase

Here's one for you. How much suppression of radish/ broadies does Sakura provide? Might be a useful additive radish control option in lupins. Anecdotally Ive often felt there were less broadleaf weeds generally when using sakura. Would be good to know if it has been quantified?

@RobertKitto1 At that depth do you ever have issues with the spiked roller bulldozing ?

Having a demo with this beast today , nearly turned it into an electric tractor 😊
