In our region, the rule-of-thumb for when to plant grain crops is "after ANZAC Day". The operation of planting completely erases anything in the paddock.
So I figured, if it will be visible until at least ANZAC Day, let's combine the two?
To the greatest place. Happy Australia Day. 🇦🇺

White snail trap! Not very practical on a broadacre scale unfortunately.

Every road user in country Australia needs to respond to this. In many cases, unsealed roads in Victoria are safer than poorly maintained sealed roads with dangerous shoulders and potholes. Another constraint to productivity. Submissions close Nov 10.

25mm a week ago and all looking good. Now a light frost and it looks like they've been dessicated. All varieties. Fortunate there's a good canopy and plenty underneath are ok. Peas on the other hand look ok🤔

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.

Excited to unpack my PhD findings with growers! I aim to clarify what faba bean is doing so that we can make it do what we want it to do better. I'll also aim to use better sentences than that one.
