Thrilled to host the @CSIRO for the first virtual fencing trials in SA with sheep! Enormous potential for improved feed utilisation, and improve protection of our vulnerable soils. @GRDCSouth @BonnieFlohr

The @GuardianAus refuses to publish information that allows a correct and more balanced view on pesticides. It’s the third separate occasion that they have done so. Disappointing double standards for a publication that believes in information equality. So here it is. #agchatoz

Will be presenting a deep dive into optimising knockdown herbicides for summer fallow. Why are summer weeds tough to control and what can we do to improve results? Really important in a year like this with potential product shortages.

The Upper North Farming Systems Eastern Spring Crop Walk is on next Thursday 23rd September!Visiting trial sites at Murray Town and Fullerville, completing the day with a networking session proudly sponsored by Northern Ag through the UNFS Commercial Paddock Project.

One of the best publications I’ve read in a long time. Thanks Jason Emms & @GRDCSouth @theGRDC + contributors like @borgercatherine Gurjeet & Bhagirath. When you know the when, how & why, it makes implementing the @WeedSmartAU Big 6 even easier. 👌

Observing nice treatment differences in @theGRDC SA grain legumes project @far_australia Millicent site. Cold winter, slow growth, but some are greener than others, will see if there is a yield response @Moodie_ag @Sarah_Day_ ! @brill_ag you can put canola on this next year 😉😜

I was bored.

Huge thanks @rporter_ag and the team at @AgXtra for a great 8yrs. Leave with some great memories and friends. Excited for the new adventure.

@rporter_ag “swap” 😂 @green_kalon

Why did I ever swap this for the desk job? #agxtra #plant19 #cropcompetition

@agrobaz @AgronomoOz The AG after her name was a fair indication of her agenda...

@AgronomoOz That was interesting for us to see stoz. Chris answered everything well, but the lady at the end had some hidden agenda and not much practical idea was my take!

Selectors are getting there. Burns and/or Renshaw good calls. Pukovski a talent. Better squad than Finch S Marsh Handscomb. Lyon a workload giant. No rest for him inbetween tests like the quicks.
