Still battling stubborn weed patches despite using harvest weed seed control? 🤔
Weeds may be adapting to evade interseption.
Send a pin to AHRI so they can be assessed. @AHRI_Team @GRDCWest @peterdnewman

Wheat is done for 2025. Diamond seeding pattern produced 115 bu/acre… not too shabby.

Different ways to deal with ryegrass. Working well, just pick your area before harvest, and manage to get it producing straight away. A non-chemical approach. @PBoutsalis @reiny2 @WeedSmartAU

15 years, one day and 1000 appearances since @Patty_Mills first stepped onto an NBA court. (That includes 902 regular season games and 98 in the playoffs)
He's the first Australian to reach the 1000 games mark and one of the best to ever do it.
Good on ya Patty!

The value of summer weed control never stops amazing me. We went around this patch with our first summer spray as it was under water. All other passes done on time but there was no making up for what was lost, moisture and nutrition. Best ROI we can make 🌾
