Despite heavy foliar blackleg pressure in SW Vic, smart varietal selection and fungicide decisions can greatly reduce your susceptibility. Crops are firing now the rains stopped ☀️ 👍🏻

Canola 45Y95 about to run up. Amazing how much biomass it was able to produce with some dry months. 209mm since spreading Metakill and the bait is still holding up well. @Imtrade @pioneerseedsau

One out of our two Ballarat Altora trial sites. Clear day for some drone footage. After a handy 16mm last week some of our nutrition replications are showing up along with weeds in our Pre Em site. Great tool for us and our growers @Syngenta @Imtrade @SipcamAus @BASF @Bayer4Crops

Mother of God that's a lot of red paint!
Leaving state fair today in Grand Island and we see this. Is it a “chip” that they are waiting on to finish these combines? I have never seen machines sitting here like this! Hope they don’t get any adverse NE weather like hail or tornado to take em all out
