Never stops amazing me how much legumes love stubble. Earlier emergence plus height difference between inter rowed fabas in taller stubble (left) vs fabas in shorter stubble (right). Good year to be back into irrigated fabas. No urea required and banking some N for 2027!

Metro lentils coming in and impressed by the weed control with them. Not too many weeds got through. Just need a higher yielding variety but certainly a handy tool to use for some problem weed situations 👍@JasonBrand @CropDoctor54 @agrobaz @SeanM_DMAg_SA @mattelliott32

Lentils are coming off in the northern mallee now in places. Given the current market situation what price are you prepared to sell your lentils at, even if you have to sit on them for an extended period ?
11% $500-$600 💴
36% $600-700 💵
29% $700-800 🪙
24% $800 💰

Bit of old fashion hand weeding. Good opportunity to get up close and check the podding. Much better than I would expect in such a dry year.

Is @Mel_Fraser1 about to initiate a dig stick jousting match? No, she is demonstrating the impact that Lime and Rip Mix treatments have had the pH of acidic sands in a farmer demo site at Kooloonong. @NASManangOuyen @GRDCSouth @McbeathTherese
