10.01.2022 Managing staff this harvest? Some things to consider... https://bit.ly/33k4PMd BCG (Birchip Cropping Group) FarmLink Research Facey Group

10.01.2022 Highly calcareous soils have proved difficult and the key to improving them is far from clear with about 60 per cent of cropping soil in south-eastern Australia highly calcareous.

10.01.2022 Snails can be problematic as they often congregate in grain heads and are being harvested, costing growers millions of dollars annually. While there’s no ‘silver bullet’ for snails, a possible new control has emerged.

09.01.2022 Major rainfall events cause the soils to waterlog and as the soil dries, a hard crust forms, either on the surface or in the subsoils, which inhibits crop emergence and root proliferation. To improve rainfall infiltration, Peter and Robert direct drill all of their crops using a tyned seeder.
