Seeding feels a bit like a race but there is great strategy behind the why we recommend peas and faba beans be your first choices.
There is more to it than just #DTM or managing #harvest timing across several crops (although those are also factors).

A new report shows a single week of a rail and port shutdown could cost the grain sector over half a billion dollars. Greg Northey breaks down what this report means and what solutions are being called for with @KelvinHeppner of @realagriculture.
There’s #TooMuchOnTheLine to accept the risk.
