With bit of weather around the central west and some chopping and changing forecasts. We are open to contract drying of grain for anyone who try’s going a bit earlier and can store for a short time.

👍Get the good oil on summer spraying using Pulse Width Modulation from GOA's own deputy chair, Andrew Freeth. ...the GOA board prides itself on having skin in the game! @adfreeth @GRDCNorth @MaurieStreet @bennyob
Want to maximise the benefits of summer spraying using Pulse Width Modulation? @adfreeth explains why you should aim for your duty cycle to be 70% or higher at the lowest expected speed. https://t.co/DGcgkf1jOG

Gas-tight storage is the only option to reliably control insects in stored grain. There’s a number of prevention options but we need a control option as well. https://t.co/vhLtspOhXz

One of the most important jobs in getting on farm storage right 🧹, if not the most glamorous!
Now is the best time for grain storage hygiene, before the weather warms up and insect pests become more active. https://t.co/Gbltv6QgJZ
