I’m on third pass fungicide right now, be a bit unprecedented to do a fourth but likely warranted.

Ergot control? After a wet winter thinking about harvest and ergot. Does spraying fungicides work to reduce ergot? If so what type and timing? Tebuconozole; cheap but effective? Pass cost more than chem.

Not as sexy as tile drainage, surface drains getting the job done for now. It fascinates me how if the water is moving even the crop in the bottom of the drain of still ok, but let it pond and its lethal.

Bit hard to see but had to clean a fuel tank out that got contaminated with canola pod, used a venturi vacuum from tire store to suck out, used the old engine airfilter to cut down atomised fuel in the air and deposit contaminants in there.

Truth, technology is often baffling, it is said technology is good when you don’t know you are using it.

Also arising from conversation the other day quality or types of joins? Socked pipe? Slotted? Imported pipe from china a possibility. There seems a great deal of difference between cost of pipe in Victoria compared to WA.

Brands of plow that are best? On tailed plows two or four wheels with walking beam? Gps controllers? Deere or trimble integration? Assuming laterals and mains here too. Planning software? Hp and traction requirements?

Favour to ask of our North American crew, like to start a thread on Tile plow installation. It’s likely to get very big here over the next ~decade and wanting to start well with good information to save pain later. So throwing it open to put your thoughts in. Mounted or trailed?1

Would anyone like this? It’s a lay down mat for the JCB to push canola down ahead of the sprayer in the absence of a SP , chucking it out so free to someone who wants it. ⁦@kelvin_hams⁩ has one too i think to get the idea of.

Real concerns only come up if we see Pelicans…. .

Been using this app for elevation data to explore drainage ideas but it seems wildly inaccurate. What other apps seem to work better? There used to be good ones that would do grade between points and everything and the data seemed relevant but not so much now?

850kg too much for the front of the 9520? Carry grading and heard a bit of weight would settle down the bounce. 480/80R50 duals for reference. 20psi in the back and 14 in the front for ride. Transfer load onto hitch at rear.

property sign art, what other good ideas out there? (This isn’t mine).

And yet they can’t use GMO canola meal in their animal rations.

Boys hanging off the fence while piloting a drone to get some awesome footage doing the broadleaf and first fungicide the other evening. Cracking light.

more precision spreaders coming on the market everyday, move over agrispread, Marshall and bredal…. .

IPM….

Last of urea went out today just about, small tonnage left to play with a variable map to see if we can drive top end in some 45y95.

Found a more recent invite to FCMs IPM workshops.
