Australia is running out of Diesel, and right before Winter seeding where they seed anywhere from 64-67 million acres of land. Australia's Agriculture industry consumes 2.5 billion liters of fuel using 7.5% of all the country's diesel production in a short period of time. In the past 20 years Australia has shut down 6 of their 8 refineries that make fuel and are only left with less than 20% refining capacity to meet their own domestic needs. Recall, this is an island, unlike Canada that leverages the USA for its refining, Australia has to import 90% of all their diesel fuel. With only a 25-30 day stockpile of fuel this isn't looking good. You need 58 million barrels of raw crude just to make enough diesel for the agriculture industry. Considering that 50% of fuel use in Australia is diesel, it makes perfect sense that there is a scarcity of fuel. Australia consumes 575,000 barrels/d of diesel while producing only 75,000 barrels/d of diesel. This is a globalists wet dream, Albanese is really impressed with this I am sure. Regional Crop Production Leaders (2025–2026) -Western Australia: 26.9 million tonnes (New state record; produced 40% of the nation's wheat.) -New South Wales: 18.0 million tonnes (Heavy hitter in wheat and the primary hub for cotton.) -South Australia: 9.2 million tonnes (Massive recovery year for barley and lentils.) -Victoria: 10.4 million tonnes (Record-breaking yields for barley and pulse crops.) -Queensland: 3.9 million tonnes (Record winter crop; major producer of chickpeas and sorghum.) Globalists might just get their famine a little earlier than they had hoped.

Glyphosate and Paraquat resistance re-confirmed in ARG (1st progeny) from Kwinana West port Zone. Photos are glyphosate or paraquat LHS (suspected/confirmed ARG) vs RHS (resistant control). A timely double knock with Voraxor as a spike can restore full control. Check 👇

Paddock check in Boort: Neo barley heading out strong and even. Promising stand—fingers crossed for solid yields ahead. 🌾

There has been some recent discussion of clethodim degradation in 'old' formulations that have been in storage for a few years. Below is another data set to support this observation from one of our 2025 field trials (phalaris in chickpea)

Scald infections have been found by the team in some susceptible barley varieties at our Gnarwarre (SW Vic) and Bordertown (SA) sites. Be on the lookout if you've had some wet conditions!

Crop check in Boort this week — the difference a few extra sunshine hours & degrees make at this time of year to @pioneerseedsau 421C, @PacificSeeds Matador & Thunder lentils.

Barley in pH 5.0 soil with 4 t/ha of calcium oxide on the right - applied less than a month ago - always emerges half a day earlier. I am forever being told that lime takes 6 months to work; the answer is it can show results in weeks, or it can take years if there is a subsoil issue.

@gduff_sfs @SouthernFS It’s looking as if the 7-8cm planted ones are the best outcome thus far! Would be interested in knowing the differences in sowing dates also

Does anything beat seeing such a visual difference between your treatments in a trial?!! 😁 TOS x Depth faba bean trial showing some pretty distinct differences here, believe or not, these all emerged at about the same time too 😲 @SouthernFS

Testing with farmer brews on ryegrass this summer to better understand herbicide performance on stressed ryegrass. Sprayed on hot summer day. Example of stress on Biffo 3.75L + Terrad'or 40g @ 1 week after spraying. More results soon. @GRDCSouth @WeedSmartAU
