Key soilborne diseases are estimated to cause Australian grain growers more than $500 million per annum. Which is why Blake Gontar (@SA_PIRSA) and @CropDoctor54 are reminding the audience at the #GRDCUpdates Adelaide how important Predicta B testing is.

Spent a night under the stars with the family last night.
A couple of astronomy Q’s:
1) what are the β€œgreen” satellites that follow the same orbit every minute or so?
2) what is the large red star, low on the E horizon (a planet maybe?)? πŸ€”πŸ€” #agsky

I’m privileged to be talking to the SA Ag Bureaus today about Soil Health.
Nothing better than some practical, hands on demos to show some diff with pH, slaking, dispersion & other aspects of soil health!
I hope Macca appreciates the choice of buckets for the soil!

Good Q John.
The set answer may vary from region to region?
A minimum of 3 in my opinion.
I do feel there are hidden yield limitations through root diseases that we aren’t picking up in a close rotation. πŸ€”

As I inspect more paddocks for summer weeds, the Lentil stubbles are painting a picture of some key take home messages:
1) closer rotations = a LOT more weeds
2) it DOES matter what you use for crop-topping; and
3) DFF plays an important role in thistle control

The @SAGrainTrust project was harvested today. πŸ‘πŸŒΎ
Next step is to do some analysis & stats on the yield & GM data.
Thanks to SAGIT for their support, and to Ely Farm for their co-operation with the project. πŸ™πŸ™
