Early wheat smashed by frost on Sunday morning -2 , plenty of wheat out in head

Crunch time for these crops in central NSW, they are getting the pineapple look about them so fingers crossed for some rain

@S_M_Bowman Run all our 8 & 9000’s out to 400 hrs and have for years and haven’t had any issues

Who runs their JD engines to 500hrs between services? Can’t bring myself to do it. Even if it’s not out of spec, it’s got to be shortening the life of the engine, right?

@stevenjlorimer 1. Gly / Leopard /Hasten 2.Paraquat / Diuron. 3. Gly / Dicamba / Garlon. 4. Paraquat

@tuckyRob What chemistry was used?

After 2 double knock applications and $70 ha later I’ve given up on the chemistry.

@DuyLe15069637 @KeyWater1 @CottonInfoAust @CottonResearch @NSWDPI_AGRONOMY @NellMontH2O @LambethEmma @AthomasAmanda @KokeeffeK What variety Duy Le ?

Not what we’ve seen every day during our early season survey, but #Fusarium wilt is really a worry in this field, almost every plant got infection in this section. Really good plant stand/m, but Fusarium will thin this out @CottonInfoAust @CottonResearch @NSWDPI_AGRONOMY

What’s left of standing cotton after a good hammering from hail yesterday. Hope the accessor has a boat!

When your having bad luck it just seems to keep coming

@AnthonyMcGrif Mate do you have a buyer for some of this water??

@tuckyRob Ultra-high density plant population once that germinates

Cotton planting progress at Narromine after 160mm for the weekend!! Shit

@bugs_are_us Mate that doesn’t look good. 160mm here over the weekend so have water flowing through the workshop and sheds with verandah water views from the house. Just started pouring here again 👎 can’t win a trick this year.

Drip tape, now that’s a bugger

@bugs_are_us That doesn’t look good. Fingers crossed that levy holds.

This is the field we were laying drip tape in- and the spilling creek upstream has doubled in height since the video

We’ve been laying N-Drip tape but will have to pull up because we think it will flood across field and pull all the tape out- the hard issues around using technology to save water

@bugs_are_us Not good Wato🤞🤞🤞

@DibsCush Shit Dibs that doesn’t look good Be interesting to see if that cotton germinates? Hopefully the water drains off quick.

160-250mm overnight across the farm. So pleased we planted all these fields to cotton earlier in the week 😬. And don’t think we’ll be harvesting any time soon! #moist #moree

@BugStewart That doesn’t look good

@tuckyRob Ouch. Tyson sent these this morning. Would rather have this

Don’t think we will be harvesting in a hurry in the Macquarie Valley !!

@bugs_are_us None planted as yet most fields just finished draining water as the rain started again yesterday. Might be the first summer holiday at the beach this year !

@tuckyRob Does that also include cotton Tucky?

@DaveBur12376833 Fingers crossed the BOM have it wrong. Hope you guys are not too wet in the south.

@tuckyRob Hi Tucky not good hopefully you do get much more out of the next lot that’s coming through

@cooten9009 Canola ready to Windrow, wheat a couple weeks off

@tuckyRob How far off harvest were you Rob?

@cottonfarmgirl About a foot of water over most cropping country but slowly draining off.

@khemta_h_jose I’m in Dubbo today so will call in the next hour

@tuckyRob Hi Rob, I'm from the ABC in Dubbo, can we DM?
