The faces of some very happy West Aussie farmers! 😁
341 days since our last double digit rainfall event (and not a moment too soon) Mother Nature has delivered the 2024 break ☔️
I’d like to thank long term datasets and sunny, wind free days for keeping me sane up until now 😂
Live on national television and absolutely nailed it. So proud of you @BradEgan24 👏🥳
What an absolute legend 🤩 I’ve known @BradEgan24 was an incredible farmer from the moment we met, so I’m so proud and excited to see him recognised for the phenomenal impact he continues to have on his own operation and the wider Ag industry 🌾🏆
Esperance WA grain grower Brad Egan recognised as the 2022 Young Farmer of the Year, sponsored by @maccas #ausfarmerawards @BradEgan24 @kondiningroup @ABCrural
Proud of @BradEgan24 for achieving huge results in what has been a hard slog of a year. Data backed decisions, understanding your numbers and using the best Ag tech - trust me when I say it’s worth it 💪🌾 – at Scaddan, Western Australia
Ingenious way of marking out variety trials @flanderspaul1 😂 one guess what canola this is… @NuseedAustralia – at Mingenew, Western Australia

No words to describe the thrill of watching canola emerge on a b**tard of a non-wetting headland next to a line of trees 😂 god speed little ones! #justfarmerthings

This memory popped up today, reminding me that 2 years ago the first crop of #Warakirri grads presented our research projects to the board. Fitting that today the third group of grads are about to undertake the exact same task. Can’t wait to see what they achieve 💪 #imgettingold – at Esperance, Western Australia

Story of the day: discovered an iPhone in my freshly swathed canola crop. Looked to have been there a while (pre petal drop). Turns out it’s rightful owner lost it in Sept 2019. Plugged it in and it works! Survived >350mm rainfall, 8 chem sprays, harvest, slashing and seeding 😂
@Eganfarming performing the first phase of open heart surgery on unproductive sand to transform it into fertile soil. WA farming systems never fail to continually challenge and amaze me #soilameliorationsaturday
PGR’s (100 ml/ha Moddus Evo + 650 ml/ha Errex @ GS32) shortening early sown Scepter wheat in Gibson, WA. The plot with the PGR applied (right) also received 25% more in-crop nitrogen than the taller untreated (left).

I’m lucky to have had some angels that helped me through some ordinary times, but some of us aren’t that lucky. 2020 has been a yr of isolation & uncertainty, so today just ask a few people #RUOK and listen 🧡 I love Ag. The only thing tougher than farming are the people doing it – at Western Australia, Australia
Afternoon walks to check on these babies after another hot day. Hoping they won’t be a field of green soon! 😬🔥

Too busy learning/having a great time at the #SEPWA Youth in Ag Field Day to take many pics; but a huge shout out to @BrettoSouth and the committee for organising such an awesome day. More than 100 under 35s there - the future of ag, innovation and farming is bright in Esperance! – at Condingup, Western Australia

Finally got to see our new money maker in action! And to think I thought our Tilco/Nufab was big... 😳 excited to see if we can get her down to 800mm in the Esperance silver loam 🏖
