Grain size and quality between 2 X sprayed (top) and unsprayed (bottom). Hard lessons learnt on fungicides in 2022 have paid off in 2026 season.

Spray miss in the corner showing the value of a flag leaf fungicide application on this Tomahawk wheat. Not much green leaf left!

Hay is a great harvest weed seed control option, important to remember to go back for these guys though once the bales are finally off the paddock! Few summer weeds kicking around now too after 50mm in Oct.

6 weeks on the ground and we finally have oaten hay bales! That’s something to be excited about. Yield is amazing, colour downgraded after rain 👎 time to get it off as grain harvest won’t wait 🌾

This is something every grain grower is feeling the pressure of. Break even yields are incredibly high in our current environment, particularly with the added challenge of flat grain prices.

Farming costs over the past ten years. How much have costs multiplied.

Cracked 500mm YTD with a 26mm thunderstorm and some hail this afternoon 🌧️ less than ideal for harvest and hay
