If you grow wheat there is value in protein. If you grow canola there is value in its oil. Our @theGRDC project aims to fully value the nitrogen fixation of pulses. When N prices are high (eg 2022) and demand high (eg high biomass beans) we have measured up to $1600/ha of N-fix
🫘HAPPY INTERNATIONAL PULSE DAY🫘
GOA has done some cool pulse research recently with Rohan Brill & @theGRDC.
🌿Faba beans won for yield & net N fixed.
🌿N fixed from biomass amt, with ~33 kg N/ha fixed/ t of above ground biomass.

ALT Relationship between peak biomass (above ground, measured at 30-50% podding) and total N fixation in 2021. Crops included = chickpeas, faba beans, lentils, lupins, field peas and vetch.

Has anyone ridden the railway access road, from Kalgoorlie to Glendambo SA, about 1,500 ks.
Can you get fuel at Forrest? and is there any roads or tracks you can take south off it.
I’ve been on it out to Rawlinna, and it’s a great road, however fuel is a problem.

If we learnt anything from 2022, timing of fungicide strategies and genetics were critically important in maintaining green area at the right time of the season.
Have a read and think about where you crop is at and what it looks like 🔫🤑💚✅ – at Adelaide, South Australia
Welcome to issue 1 of #inGRAINed 'Cropping Strategies', the first in our series of extension and education aids for growers and industry. These will be complimented with a series of YouTube videos and Podcasts throughout the growing season. faraustralia.com.au/wp-conte…

In what world, do us, as blackfellas think this behaviour is ok?? This is on us, as a group. Not the white man, not the past , nothing. This is on us. Our putrid behaviour. This is current day Darwin. @barrelracernt @sokitomi

Applying 2,4-D in a mix with gly can elevate aldo-keto reductase (AKR) enzyme activity in ryegrass. It also turns out metabolism-based resistance to glyphosate is caused by AKR. This could explain poor ryegrass control where 2,4-D is mixed with gly. Work by Feng-Yan Zhou & AHRI.

First day playing around with our new (old) stripper front as part of a new @MsfMallee project looking to build Robust Ground-cover ahead of planting legume crops. Can we couple with disc seeding systems to reduce erosion following pulse crops? @AMadsnake

🌱NEW PROJECT ALERT😱
Look what's coming. Thanks to Australian Government through Future Drought Funding and joint collaborators we have a new project coming your way. @ausgov @ag_eyre @UniversitySA @CSIRO @Moodie_ag

Anyone with an agco challenger, mine seems to rattle on the driver side in the transmission when cold. Just after anyone that can help me solve the issue. Tia #asktwitter

Congratulations to @MsfMallee Looking forward to seeing the outcomes over the next 3 years in a region that knows drought conditions too well @AnneWebsterMP @McbeathTherese @Moodie_ag – at Mildura, Victoria

Looking for a aws/carry air reel/bar to suit a 640d front. Does anyone know of one for sale or front with one. TIA – at South Australia, Australia

Anyone need hay cutting? Based in the SA mallee but can travel. Can spray glyphosate under the row if required.

Know of a SA / VIC Mallee Farmer who would value joining the MSF Board of Directors? Two positions on the MSF board will become available at the October 2021 MSF AGM (1x SA position & 1x VIC position). Email EOI: [email protected]

Anyone running a Bourgault Airseeder Bin ? Pros Cons ? Looking at a 8450 bin , opinions would be great 👍 #AskTwitter

Rotation impact on weeds always amazes me. This is the old 20yr old merriwagga tillage and rotation site. 4 yrs after it finished. Rotations with pulses full of fumitory, continuous wheat full of ryegrass. 18 month fallows still clean. @IgemIan @AlbertGorman1 @lukeschulz9

The family that owned this farm before it was sold (twice) did a great job managing it. Now that investors are in control its turned to shit. Proof that there is no fast buck in farming. It takes generations to build a viable business. #thisIsFarming
