🌱 Stefan, agronomist & researcher on the Upper YP, is one of 30 advisors in SA taking part in the Carbon Farming Outreach Program. In August, he co-facilitated a workshop helping 30 landholders understand farm emissions & carbon farming. #CFOP #SustainableAg

ROADWORTHY HEAVY VEHICLE WORKSHOPS: GPSA, @PProducersSA and @NHVR are hosting 'Roadworthy Heavy Vehicle...Made Easy!' workshops throughout August in Jamestown, Kadina, Naracoorte, Murray Bridge and Loxton. Attendees will receive theory knowledge and practical training to help

A group of fed up South Australian farmers made a stand at Parliament House today, imploring the state government for drought assistance and acknowledgment of their importance to the state's economy.

SPRAY WORKSHOPS: GPSA is running another series of Best Practice Spray Workshops in Keith, Karoonda, Clare and Maitland from 17-20 February, 9am -3pm, with renowned spray expert Craig Day, who will share his expertise and knowledge with SA grain growers. The workshops are free to

🤞🏼this can be avoided. Massive asset to the agricultural, viticultural & horticulture industries. Have been hoping there would be an expansion of the network to the YP & EP. Crucial that this network is maintained.@GRDCSouth @GrainProducerSA @SA_PIRSA @ClareScriven @BOM_au

Long overdue, too many operators spraying in the wrong conditions still and ChemCert training isn’t the right fit for the education required.

How the heck can you claim this @BOM_au?

Hey @BOM_au can you forecast wind more accurately? This is getting pretty frustrating, especially when trying to plan/complete summer spraying. PS Is it too much to ask for a Radar on the lower EP too?

Good to see the CFS are doing there best to protect the community. Unlike @GrainProducerSA recklessly pushing limit; can’t change fire behaviour, that’s a fact, so listen to the facts being presented by i.e. a formula that’s based on a 10m reading.

Hoping the new Thunder lentils can catch up to the growth of Highlands, disappointed so far. Poor growth and early Ascochyta. Thunder north of the line, Highland south.

1/2 Regional Liberal MPs have co-signed a letter to the Premier asking that he rule out Aboriginal Heritage regulations that would impact primary producers or landholders, like those seen in WA @stockjournal

Truck drivers say smaller vehicles are the leading cause of crashes involving heavy haulage vehicles and that more education is needed.

Hey @SyngentaANZ can you stop using 100L square enviro drums and use 110L round ones instead? Sick of taking the probes out to get the last 6L of product. Defeats the purpose of a closed chemical handling system. Competitor 110L drums have 0.5 to 1L left in them.

PSA for S series JD owners. Our S780 has always been a very clean machine but have noticed two spots where chaff can build up. 1. Around the hand rail if it’s not upright, on top of the engine cover. 2. Chaff can get stuck between the exhaust manifold bolts and burn.

1/2. Alittle confusion out there re the new fire behaviour index and harvest code of practice; It’s critical you know the wind speed reading height of the weather station you are reading from, it’s 2 metres or 10 meters.

Harvest fire code agreement reached “The SACFS has agreed that grain producers will be able to utilise the GFDI of 35 this harvest and for those who are aware of the new system, they can utilise the new FBI of 40”

GPSA calls for delay on new fire code as harvest looms:

Privileged to see our new sprayer being built this week. Fantastic professional and family business @GoldacresAust. Big thanks to Stephen and his family for spending the time to show us through the factory. Thanks to Bernie @EmmettsGroup for helping us find the right machine.
