Visited Diddly Squat for UK Cereals event today. Thanks to all who gave me some time and were brave enough to say a few words. Met with growers, advisers, friends from Aus, NZ, UK and Africa to discuss cropping issues and solutions. How great is agriculture!. @far_australia
When One Nation win seats in the next Victorian parliament, we will relocate the new Daniel Andrews statue to a special Museum of Underwater Art in Antartica.

There is still time to sow winter canola and take advantage of its grazing potential before locking up for harvest.
Stock is available and ready to get out the door and into the ground.
Edition 2 of our Seed Guide is out now!
The new edition includes the release of our wheat and barley trials that tested commercial and pre-commercial material across a range of fungicide levels, and the latest information on Triple 2 and Gretchen.

Making spot spraying safe.... I actually enjoy it now.
Just need to get some more Chem approved long gloves and be completely safe.

I know for a fact that what @JacintaAllanMP is saying is bullshit. Manheim sell aged assets for the CFA & when some were put up for auction earlier last year, some of them were withdrawn to put back into service due to lack of trucks. How dare she lie like this! #BushfiresVic
Photo taken yesterday, FAR Lentil trial at Yarrawonga, middle strip of the new in 2026 variety โALB Daneโ staying green compared to all the other varieties in the trial, those being, Hallmark, Thunder, Kelpie, Terrier & Lightning.
The @AGF_Seeds wheat trial site as we head into spring field day season. Lots to show & discuss here culminating in our field day on October 22nd. 3 times of sowing & 3 fungicide strategies - should be plenty to learn @BreedersPlant@AuSeednet@agtbreeding@RAGTAU@InterGrain1
Triple 2 continues to look impressive in trials and in the paddock.
We can't wait to for its first commercial harvest so we can hear growers' experiences with this great variety.
New Lentil variety for 2026 โALB Daneโ (ALB2321) at the BCG Main Field Day yesterday. The recent AgVic releases have had a ๐ naming theme, Kelpie & Terrier, with no real correlation, but not this time, โGreat Daneโ, big dog & big Lentil.
Week on the road in NE Vic, NSW Riverina & Sth NSW Tablelands visiting Broadacre customers & @GRDC_NVT , @far_australia , HBS @agrobaz trials to assess how new & pre commercial wheat and barleys handling the challenging season thus far @AGF_Seeds
Introducing Gretchen Spring Barley
๐พHigh Yielding
๐ชStrong Disease Package
AGF Seedsโs latest release Gretchen has shown 5 to 10% yield improvements over RGT Planet and packs a strong disease package.
Here's what you need to know ๐
Key time to look for STB in wheat. In photos note how the dead lower leaves start to look black (due to number of fruiting bodies). In Tasmania this week untreated RGT Accroc had 85% incidence of STB on the lower leaves compared to 5% in Longford.@far_australia @grdc
Grazing starts for the 8th year @theGRDC@CSIRO Greenethorpe FS expโt. CaptainCL (4.8-6.6 tDM/ha) or Timok vetch/Cooba oat (4.7tDM/ha-55%V,45%O) sown 25.3.25.
Great to have @audrey_gripper bring her livestock & crop knowledge & experience to our team. Graze rate 536-1250 DSE/ha
