Faba beans impressive biomass and rhizobia growth thanks to sulphur fertilisation!
We are exploring the potential of sulphur fertilisation for legumes as part of the @GRDCWest Fertilisation recommendations for grain legumes project.

Pasture, oats, legumes, canola, wheat, barley and robots- we covered a lot at our Gower group spring field day! Pizza in the paddock was a great way to end a fantastic day. Thanks to @InterGrain1 @agtbreeding @Peakey76 @BreedersPlant Brad Jones, Daniel Real @BevanAddison

Today, we launch a new global campaign ‘Wear Wool, Not Fossil Fuel’ to educate citizens about the hidden impact of synthetic fibres on the environment and how choosing natural fibres such as wool can be a solution to reducing fashion’s impact. Watch youtube.com/watch?v=GAnfzSKF…

Fascinating morning of meetings with ag reps and food lobby in Brussels.
Some points
Timmermen driving EU agenda.
Office of Ag commissioner not the force it once was.
Farm2Fork impact not properly assessed.
Gene editing (crispr, not GM) can fill the gap, but resisted by NGOs

It's tough to see animals being killed, but there's a bigger picture at play, & we could learn a lot from this project.
1. Take responsibility for ecological imbalances we caused.
2. Protect rural communities as they will be a critical tool in environmental restoration.

2m spot spraying boom in the making for the @MingenewExpo next week, with @eyres_N welding up the frame.
Will be demoing the #OpenWeedLocator and talking about how open source tech can help bring the next generation of students into ag!

I'll start close to home with @BrendanCrosse from Cashel, Tipperary
He's in business with his brother.
They are milking 4000 sheep (in derogation) and working on developing a large scale sheep milk industry in Ireland.
Here he is, tae in hand.
