Our trial harvester is a little slower than your standard header front 😂🚜 Plus we subsample from every single plot for grain protein + quality to help us better understand how different wheat & barley varieties perform in our region 🌾

& thanks to @PhilsFotos @AgspecAus for the very cool drone shots! 📸

✅ My first trial day presentations done & dusted! Very rewarding & a little nerve wracking to present our @AuNutrien Strathalbyn wheat & barley trials to local growers & industry. Now just waiting on yield results 🚜

ICYMI: The results of our Paraquat and Diquat survey were released last week, with the outcomes being covered in the Sunday Mail. Read the article below or read our full media release on the survey results here: tinyurl.com/3549y2z2

Helicoverpa update to 22/10/2024: moderate flights of native budworm recorded at Jamestown, Kimba, Port Broughton, Crystal Brook, Cummins and Frances.

25mm rain last week coming in handy to help grain fill near Mannum, SA 🌾 Well needed after a grand total of 10mm for September! 😬

Tips for identifying frost damage - @GRDCNorth Damage is usually most evident 7−10 days after a suspected frost event. Here's a cheat sheet to help ID symptoms. 🌾Cereal ID - bit.ly/4d9hXoq 🌼 Canola & Pulse ID - bit.ly/4d5KwmN

6 months in @AuNutrien! Definitely an interesting year to start learning agronomy but I’ve thrown myself all in with paddock checks from Mt Compass ➡️ Coonalpyn, trial work, even drove a spreader for the first time 🚜 🤞 for some rain very soon 🌧️

Is there a more fitting way to celebrate #AgDayAU than by sitting my final exam & completing my agriculture degree? 👩‍🎓🌾  Thank you @UniofAdelaide educators & the generous time, tours, & internships from industry supporting the next generation of ag scientists 🌱 Happy #AgDay!

🥔👀 Have you seen a #potato highway before? I had a fascinating time learning about potato production at Pye Group's Parilla farm + processing facility with @AUSVEG SA! My interest in #ausag’s potato industry has definitely sprouted 🌱

Great to see the trials at Hart ahead of the @HartFieldDay, even if the sun only came out for the photos!

I’m so fortunate that I get to interact with bright minds and supremely talented students!! So good to share GTF with these next generation of champion Ag scientists!!! @LoveysBeth @waiteresearch @AgrifoodUoA @UniofAdelaide

Congratulations to the @AUASA_ADELAIDE team for putting on a fantastic @GTF_AUASA at @TheAdelaideOval last night. About 300 people attended for what was a great ag career networking experience for the next generation. GPSA is proud to sponsor AUASA and Growing the Future

Great to be learning more about ag career pathways & meeting #ausag business at Growing the Future 👩‍🌾 I’m always grateful for how open & welcoming our industry is! 🌾

Stripe rust starting early again this season!

A great women in ag panel at #IG23! Fascinating to hear different experiences & advice from Kristie, @AlexThomasPL, Sally & Elly. Key takeaways: ask questions, be mindful of your language, & value your time.

What’s the buzz about on farm #carbon? Great to learn more about #carboncredits, projects, & how they fit into #grain production 🌾 at @InnovGeneration with @AuNutrien #IG23

These #oats are in for a tough few weeks at @SA_PIRSA - they’re being inoculated with P. avenaria spores which will develop into #Septoria blotch. Over the next few weeks, each plant is assessed for resistance & could become future parents of new, more resistant oat varieties 🌾

#fababean & #lentil trials @ Riverton & Tarlee look👌 Part of a new @theGRDC national project examining economic management of botrytis diseases lead by @FanningJosh_ @VicGovGrains inc a #SARDIscience @SA_PIRSA climate risk analysis. Watch this space!

🌱🔍Plant breeding is delicate work! Hand pollinating this #durum involves carefully removing the immature stamens (green) from the female parent without damaging the fluffy stigma. After #pollination, all that’s left to do is wait & hope for grain fill!
