Liberty the last variety to put a head out at Bellata before the heat arrived @AMPSResearch
Early morning phenology to beat the heat ☀️ Sorghum variety trial dryland vs. irrigated at Croppa Creek. Pivot on before the hot spell this week @AMPSResearch

Short phases of tropical forage legumes increase production of subsequent cereal crops in seasonally dry tropics of eastern Indonesia. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…. Research funded by @ACIARAustralia, @CSIRO. Coauthors: @JNulik, @SkyeGabb
Would’ve been a spectacular day for an @AMPSResearch crop walk at Boomi, too bad the only “attendees” were more interested in making sandcastles ☀️
Good season for testing barley growth regulators at Tulloona. Interesting results showing up in some of the Leabrook treatments, be good to see how much ethephon knocks off the yield @AMPSResearch
Some great looking @AMPSResearch barley at Garah from this .... to having all varieties pretty badly lodged in the early time of sowing
Flowering scores in the @AMPSResearch canola variety trial north of Moree today. Looking great and minimal frost damage so far 🤞
There’s an @AMPSResearch canola variety trial in there somewhere. Canola looking good at Ashley!
Frost damage showing up in the quicks in the early time of sowing at Garah, otherwise crops looking great. Pretty handy crop of Coolah around the trial too... taller than todays mini research assistant @AMPSResearch
Despite the wet conditions @AMPSResearch Linseed Herbicide/PGR and Canola variety trials near Moree are looking good...feels like being home in western Vic seeing canola like this!
Out checking trials north of Moree today. Boomi time of sowing wheat and barley looking 👌as are the fabas and canola at Ashley
Super proud of my brother, Al. Surviving multiple suicide attempts and then having the strength to talk about it publicly to help others in rural areas is just incredible. So much strength! theage.com.au/politics/victo…
Dumping snow at my folks place in western Victoria, while it’s 27°C here at Moree ⛄️ ☀️ Sunmax in the front paddock is looking pretty good too🤞
Know someone going to @marcusoldham1 or @RobbCollege next year? The C.A.S. Hawker Scholarship is one of the most generous scholarships in Australia, valued at up to $60,000. Well worth throwing your hat in the ring hawkerscholarship.org
Great work in rural mental health, Mary @RUboggedmate

It hurts an agronomist to say this 😜, but sometimes breeding is the best solution. First paper from @theGRDC #MESW project led by @kentonp_ag shows little scope for management to improve poor harvest index and yield of early sown winter wheat. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
