Need info! I'm looking for information on late season weather conditions that caused fungal grain damage. All I need is the year and location it occurred. I'd also love to hear about times you expected damage and found none! Please reply & retweet, more responses the better!

Today marks 86 years since the cessation of hostilities between emus and the Australian army in the Great Emu War of 1932. I will be among the many raising a glass tonight to the enduring peace we share with our ratite friends. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_Wa…

Impressive barley yields at Wallendbeen with only 175mm GSR (Apr-Oct) in 2018. @NSWDPI_AGRONOMY research in collaboration with @kentonp_ag and @SAGrainTrust looking at options and feasibility of early sown barley in SE Australia

As the year draws to a close, I thought these photos would sum up how difficult it has been in the central west of NSW this year. Aerial pics of the Condobolin research station from August 2017 vs 2018. @NSWDPI_AGRONOMY
