Crunching the numbers to work out whether to harvest your #crop for #grain or cut it for #hay?

Going on a drive for that perfect spring shot of flowering canola?
❌ Please don’t enter a property and a canola crop without first getting the farmer's okay.
🤔 Without knowing, you might be bringing pests or diseases on to their farm.

One of my pet peeves with R & D crews.
If a farmer is courteous enough to allow you to do a trial on their property, please do the same back & spend 15-30 mins after harvest doing an emu pick of the site.
** where is the wire from the pegs that I could only find the tags for? 😬
