Edition 2 of our Seed Guide is out now! The new edition includes the release of our wheat and barley trials that tested commercial and pre-commercial material across a range of fungicide levels, and the latest information on Triple 2 and Gretchen. The link is in our bio

Making spot spraying safe.... I actually enjoy it now. Just need to get some more Chem approved long gloves and be completely safe. Just eBay sand blasting kit with some perspex for a false window

@AussieVal10 I know for a fact that what @JacintaAllanMP is saying is bullshit. Manheim sell aged assets for the CFA & when some were put up for auction earlier last year, some of them were withdrawn to put back into service due to lack of trucks. How dare she lie like this! #BushfiresVic

If only there were signs . #Bondi

@brodenholland How’s it handling the 40ft front?

Photo taken yesterday, FAR Lentil trial at Yarrawonga, middle strip of the new in 2026 variety “ALB Dane” staying green compared to all the other varieties in the trial, those being, Hallmark, Thunder, Kelpie, Terrier & Lightning.

A week visiting @AGF_Seeds customers & @GRDC_NVT sites in SE QLD & NE NSW for updates on new exciting dual purpose mid-quick maturity winter wheat - Triple 2, mid maturity spring barley - Gretchen & forage blend performances. 1. Triple 2, 2. Captain CL 3. Mighty Graze 4. Gretchen

@WheatWatcher How much money is going to be sucked up by middle men facilitating this?

Unscientific poll: Are you happy or unhappy about the announcement by the Aus gov of $1.1bn to push a local biofuels industry?

@RobertsAmor @ChrisDoerksen Our 560 also had one fail with a cat engine

@ChrisDoerksen Hummm them old cats 🐱 didn’t have that problem correct?

Public service announcement any one with a green claas around thousand engine hrs plus change your engine damper this was close to taking the motor out

The @AGF_Seeds wheat trial site as we head into spring field day season. Lots to show & discuss here culminating in our field day on October 22nd. 3 times of sowing & 3 fungicide strategies - should be plenty to learn @BreedersPlant @AuSeednet @agtbreeding @RAGTAU @InterGrain1

Triple 2 continues to look impressive in trials and in the paddock. We can't wait to for its first commercial harvest so we can hear growers' experiences with this great variety.

New Lentil variety for 2026 “ALB Dane” (ALB2321) at the BCG Main Field Day yesterday. The recent AgVic releases have had a 🐕 naming theme, Kelpie & Terrier, with no real correlation, but not this time, “Great Dane”, big dog & big Lentil.

Week on the road in NE Vic, NSW Riverina & Sth NSW Tablelands visiting Broadacre customers & @GRDC_NVT , @far_australia , HBS @agrobaz trials to assess how new & pre commercial wheat and barleys handling the challenging season thus far @AGF_Seeds

Introducing Gretchen Spring Barley 🌾High Yielding 💪Strong Disease Package AGF Seeds’s latest release Gretchen has shown 5 to 10% yield improvements over RGT Planet and packs a strong disease package. Here's what you need to know 👇

@MartinMurray_Ag Looks attractive. What sort of battery are you using. I’ve been told lithium phosphate are the safest. But seems cobolt more common..

@ttoose Join Amber, pay a $20 month fee and then pay the wholesale rate. The $20 fee helps to pay into an insurance scheme that caps your bill in case QLD Chernobyl’s one of their coal fire stations like they did in 2021. Solar battery, you can play the market in your favour

I buy my electricity wholesale, my previous power provider wanted to charge me 48c/cWh (this has actually been a expensive week) Is it renewables driving up your power bill or the retailer?

Key time to look for STB in wheat. In photos note how the dead lower leaves start to look black (due to number of fruiting bodies). In Tasmania this week untreated RGT Accroc had 85% incidence of STB on the lower leaves compared to 5% in Longford.@far_australia @grdc

Anyone know someone who offers contract grain vacc'ing services in Victoria? I've got two ex gnc silos to suck out of into a grain pit #ausag
