What’s peoples experience with army worm? Well over threshold. Only a bit of green but seeing a lot of head damage in ripe heads

Shelbourne stripper guru’s. Iv got a old RX. Question is am I kidding my self sticking it in to faba beans that have been desiccated looks like it should work but 🤷🏻‍♂️. The bit of barley we tried worked awesome.

The next part of our farming system has arrived. It’s a oldie but should do the job. Strip and disc system

This Battalion canola has definitely got some serious vigour about it. Can’t wait till harvest. Sadie reckons it’s alright.

I started in the ag chem supply in 2008 where glyphosate was short. The last 12 months we’ve got through ok but the next 12 is really scary. 1/2

Iv never had so many suppliers orders cancelled or re priced from order, seed and fertiliser issues. Im a touch suspicious there’s other things at play.

This afternoon was flat out checking clients crops. There’s good bad and ugly. Hail is a real pain in the A#S 10-60% 😭😭

Laperouse looks like the compass replacement. It’s a absolute pleasure supporting Brett with managing these new variety’s🍻
Into the Laperouse Barley great yield and quality

Question. Windrowed barley how much rain can they handle? Asking for a friend

Found some interesting things today. Don’t spray pre ems and knock downs in the rain. 44t02 sown early and feed a heap of N and S looks amazing. Highland left hurricanes right. Oats for hay on vetch stubble 1/2

This is the vetch last year and the line in the oats is where gibb acid was applied

On today’s adventure. Bendoc beans. Maximus barley. Vetch hay. And group A over early barley isn’t ideal. Crops around Callington and Monarto are looking good
