The dangers of glufosinate as a solo spray on rye grass - needs to have additional spikes to assist and ideally in conjunction with double knock with synergistic pre em if possible too ✊- regrowth a major risk. Future gets trickier without paraquat @CropDoctor54 @robbert115

Nice move for free public transport in vic sure- but have to remind govt about rural vic where services don’t exist - meaning people remain absolutely exposed to price rises.

What a disgrace of an ad @VodafoneAU - as usual a metro brand punching down on rural and regional Australia

Government won’t implement a tiny container levy to adequately fund biosecurity in Australia because it’s inflationary but will look to put an inflationary emissions tax on fertiliser imports while excluding any taxes on coal and gas.

Yep.
I am really angry with the paper dcceew.gov.au/climate-change…
Its arse about: essentially contradicts the Government's own Ag and Land Sector Emissions plan and isnt really working with Paris Agreement Article 6.2 and 6.4
And does fuck all except up inflationary costs.

Not ag related but what is happening with @theage - the puff pieces on the rich listers, the fawning coverage of some ridiculous $100g to join golf club - what was the point of that article? Still loads of great journalism, just a worrying amount of flim-flam on the side

Summer rain can be annoying - but given the outlook for the rest of the year I reckon most here in the Wimmera would take a good soak - hopefully can conserve half at this time of year. Obvs early days, but more and more models jumping onboard.

Nice bit of Sod’s Law here in the Wimmera - too cold and wet for harvest all week then too hot and a TFB!

The team have been busy checking in on our lentil fields in the Wimmera. They are still a couple of weeks off harvest.

Interesting to see all the #REZs nominated by the Vic govt are basically in quiet parts of western Vic - couldn't have anything mucking up the high country or the coast where the city folk go for their dose of the country life.

Rain rolling in right before cricket…. If only there was an accurate local radar we could look at to check exactly what time it will get here…..

OK - unlike many I am not intrinsically opposed to #renewables but it's increasingly getting on my goat when I hear city callers to talk back patronisingly tell country people what they need to do 'for the greater good'. All the major benefits go elsewhere and we get crumbs.

Could be the story with other crops down here in the Wimmera too

Very contrasting growth stages in lentils with Anzac Day germination vs July germination. Different fungicide strategy’s also. Year of crop stage extremes 🌱 @JasonBrand @CropDoctor54 @pbseeds @BrendanTorpy @SeanM_DMAg_SA
