Great conversation yesterday @grassrootsag @AgroJAK certainly less wheat stubble after a 2 year break in a couple of situations than first thought but not 100% gone, heavily dependent on rainfall in the successive break crops no doubt. Great work @BradBaxter1985

Ryegrass pressure on headlands and boundaries certainly puts pressure on the program when you have split germinations and various crop establishment stages.

Windrowed forage barley, with late spring rain it’s certainly paid off to bring it in for harvest
