Lots to learn from our F&G Fleabane camera brew trial. Reiterating how much of a beast it is to control. Some clear good options but no magic bullet. Fantastic to rate a bloody good trial and learn from it 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Special mention to this cute lizard that showed up for every rating

Mallee mattock got a workout chasing these Safflower roots. Have been concerned about whether the tap root would get through these hostile subs. Looks like these plants made their way through the dome clay and down into some moisture. Rainfall really tapered off since August.

For those interested in blackleg in our F&G F1 F2 trial: Trophy in a high pressure canola wheat canola rotation showing high aerial blackleg pressure, looks worse in the F1/F2 blends. Trifecta affected also but not as bad

Some early visual vigour differences between our F1, F2 and shandies in the F&G TT hybrid canola trial. Really interested to watch this site throughout the year, for disease, flowering, shatter, harvest timing and yield.

Over 25,000 ha of a long season canola seed has a delivery schedule of 2nd week in April…. Not pleased is an understatement

Exhibit A why contact products like group G’s (sharpen, terrador, voraxor) are not a good fit in summer on wireweed. @SamAgroFethers @GMcMeikan
