Naracoorte creek upstream near Kyby in full flow. Another inch or two over the next week is unwelcome. Bring on dry July

Just one week to go until we'll be showcasing @theGRDC's HYC trials in Millicent, SA. We have a fantastic line up of speakers including Dave Grant, NZ grower who'll share some top tips for higher yields in NZ, what do their farming systems look like? faraustralia.com.au/archives…

Water table slowly creeping up at Conmurra SA. RGT Cesario looking a treat at GS 30-31. Damp canopy for most of august but disease levels very low💪🏽. 1st fungicide PGR coming up. Great variety for the region ⁦⁦@far_australia⁩ ⁦@LSeears⁩ ⁦⁦@SeedForceAU⁩

Been hunting for the pot of gold in the Annapurna all afternoon at Bool Lagoon. Strange, slow moving low today, areas of steady rainfall for last few hours . Got quite wet if your in the right place🤷🏻‍♂️ ⁦@DeanEastwood7⁩

We farm some different soil in the SE. Shallow, high OM, alkaline soil perfect for broad beans. Crops very healthy when water table low. Usually near surface this time of yr. ⁦@far_australia⁩ ⁦@Mel_Fraser1⁩ ⁦@MacKillopGroup⁩ ⁦@Pooley_Nick_FAR ⁦@theGRDC⁩

Barley at Conmurra ready for PGR and fungicide. Legume/cereal rotation provides high fertility coupled with perfect growing conditions after dry July mean canopy management required. ⁦@far_australia⁩ ⁦@Pooley_Nick_FAR⁩ ⁦@MacKillopGroup⁩ ⁦@Mel_Fraser1⁩

Ultro doing a great job in high pressure ryegrass. High organic soils have meant propyzamide struggled in past. Selective will finish the job ⁦@LSeears⁩ ⁦@KPFarms01⁩ ⁦@honneragri⁩ ⁦@PBoutsalis⁩ ⁦@BenDumesny⁩
