The future of farming without the strategic use of Paraquat.Glyphosate resistance rye grass that can’t be controlled with registered options. Cultivation comes next and then ⬇️ gross margins, poor soil health, water logging and dust storms. Big picture thinking needed 💭 @APVMA

Are there any tractor hydraulic gurus that can help diagnose this noise? Replaced hyd pump, valves & fittings but no luck. Can see bubbles in oil tank so must be getting air in system somewhere, hyd’s eventually non operational. Dealer has raised with CNH support but no luck

Any one run a seed hawk 550 box ever had trouble with a fluctuating meter or three. We thought it was the ecu but we’re wrong. Everything test perfect either way and bearings and rollers fine. Hydraulic pressure doesn’t budge. if any one has a lead much appreciated

#asktwitter Low rainfall #lentil growers, what have your experiments been with the new lentil varieties Lightning and Thunder? Thunder didn't do as well here because it was on the poorer part of the paddock and got more area frosted. Highland seemed to hold its own against them.

The old no lentil seed trial can be put to bed no need for more research on our farm.
