I shared some wrong info re roadsides at #GRDCUpdate today. To clarify: farmers are NOT responsible for roadside weeds. Landscape Boards are responsible for declared weeds and work with land managers (eg farmers for paddocks, and councils on roadsides) to ensure control.
Exploring strategies for the management of Feathertop Rhodes Grass and fleabane with Chris Davey at the Jamestown #GRDCUpdates more details here t.ly/4OXlf

I'm very excited for next week when we launch our first RACE Gippsland Agritech Roadshows at Mallacoota, Orbost & Swifts Creek. If you live in Gippsland & know any teachers or students who'd be keen to be a part of RACE Gippsland, check out the website racegippsland.com/

Getting a bit agricultural for the last 2 days of #Frocktober2020 to raise awareness of Ovarian Cancer and throw a few bucks towards @ocrfaustralia. Bet you haven’t changed irrigation cups or lit a cane fire in a frock! 🔥 frocktober.org.au/my-fundrai… – at Queensland, Australia

Helping make a resource about #sugarcane and #reef water quality. Hopefully just the start of more ag based resources for school kids to see what’s happening in the real world and how many awesome jobs there are in ag! agri-techeducation.com/reef/ #education #agritech #agriculture – at Queensland, Australia
Do you work in the #sugar industry? I’m making a resource for high school kids. I’m after 1-2 min videos from #researchers #farmers #extension #millers #ag stores talking about their job in the sugar industry. See next post for questions. Please share with your sugar mates! – at South Australia, Australia
Filmed some #Zumba classes (dance fitness) from the old shearing shed🐑💃🏻Hopefully someone who never had a class nearby can now have a go! My free classes are here and you can watch for 5 hours after the start time zumba.com/en-US/profile/moll…

Wild afternoon in Yongala. Loosing a bit of top soil today! #duststorm #yongala – at Yongala, South Australia
Nice widespread steady rain the last few days. 100-150mm. Time for it to stop now and the sun to come out so we can grow some more sugarcane 🌱🐢 – at Proserpine, Queensland

Managed to organise a pretty good trip to the Burdekin for #ProserpineYoungFarmers to check out other #sugarcane farmers. So far we’ve seen automated irrigation, lateral irrigator, rice, soybeans, plant breeding, all sorts of machinery, grain storage, @Auto_Weed spray technology – at Ayr, Queensland
Another great day checking out Pacific Reef Fisheries prawn farm and a great chat with Bryan @sisdirtdoctor at Vantage BMS. Some awesome technology that looks promising to help #sugarcane move more into #precisionag. Home time now - back to irrigating for the boys 💧
