Frost sucks, but utilising ChatGPT for frost assessments makes it slightly easier. Using the mic button and saying good or dead for wheat heads that are affected. Then getting it to work out the percentages gives some better data to work with. Not perfect but helpful. #frostsucks

Some good rainfall about to the west of the area last weekend. Unfortunately some to the east missed it. Supplementary water via irrigation very handy in tough starts. Some wonderful sunsets during this sowing. #optimusag #plant24 #agriculture #irrigation

Some RR canola ready for its first glyphosate spray of a 2 spray approach. Don’t forget to decontaminate well before spraying. #plant24 #optimusag #canola #cropping24

Some of the AGRIvision team are in WA looking at trials and sharing knowledge with members of our extended agronomy community, seeing what issues and successes other regions face and understanding how we can apply those learnings with our customers. #agronomy #gettingbetter

Brumby is a broadly adapted, high yielding, mid-maturing APW wheat with excellent disease profile and pre-harvest sprouting tolerance

Hi all, wondering if anyone has a solution for this issue in a case 8010. When reversing the feeder it cuts it off with saying feeder speed low and feeder shut down due to low speed. Reverser can last 1 second or 5. Put a 600 screen in it this year, haven’t had the problem before

Farmer retained shot and sprung Beckom left and bought Brumby right. Beckom was 95% germ, 85% high vigour, 7% medium, still showing the reduced vigour of shot and sprung wheat. Shot and sprung Scepter at the other side of the Brumby showing the same thing. @AGRIvisionag
