@DPIRDbroadacre weather stations having some low temperatures at the moment as some rain comes in just to upset harvest. #climate

2026 Predicted yields for Yuna high density sown (HDS) vs low density sown (LDS) with Low N HDS looking to be fighting for top place once again after 4y continuous wheat. Pulse in yr0
Maximising N legacy = ROI, seeding systems will impact N
@GRDCWest
Yield data for 2025.
N in ameliorated soil needs lots more work to understand response curves.
-underestimating early N losses costs money
-increasing early N capture can reduce N responsiveness
-driving NUE can increase ROI on nitrogen spend from $3 to $13

🌱 Victorian growers Dan and Trish Flynn have been tackling high soil strength that can stop crop roots accessing moisture deeper in the profile.
At trials on their Douglas farm, deep ripping reduced soil strength to about 300mm and lifted wheat and faba bean biomass by 10–20% in 2025, although yield gains were smaller and canola showed no yield benefit.

Fusarium crown rot reported in wheat & barley across several WA grain-growing regions. Assess paddocks now & plan 2027 disease management. Free post-harvest cereal stubble testing available through DPIRD. #PestFactsWA @GRDCWest sbrew.link/3vnSuAzl

🌱 WA growers can now use SoilPlan to combine farm data with science-backed modelling and compare long-term liming strategies.
Developed through the WA Farm Data Sharing project and now available via AxisStream.

Good conversations, local insights and plenty of time in the paddock 🌱
Our Esperance team has been catching up with growers, agronomists and industry partners, sharing trial insights and practical nutrition advice.
A big thanks to everyone who joined us in the paddock last month.

Many thanks to Jackie and Rosemary @DPIRDbroadacre and the Atkinson family for hosting the @theGRDC Canola NVT trial in 2026.
Our recent pop-up event was a great opportunity to talk all things Canola and visit the trial site ahead of harvest!
🌾Blog post to follow!

A few months on farm and SwarmBot Bender is well and truly on the job!
A big thanks to Tanally Pty Ltd for sharing a glimpse of Bender in action, with SwarmBot and AutoFill™* working together in the paddock.
One of the first SwarmBot 5 V3s on farm, Bender is equipped with 360° cameras and our new Advanced Perception system, bringing new in-crop spraying capabilities to the paddock.
Combined with our AutoFill technology, this opens up new possibilities for both blanket and spot spraying, helping keep everything moving without the need for operator intervention.

*SwarmFarm utilises cutting-edge technology developed with GRDC investment to benefit Australian grain growers.

Living Farm have been working with the Morawa Farm Improvement Group over the past 3 years to showcase barley varieties suitable to the region.
This @GRDCWest NGN investment has been strongly supported by MFIG, and it was great to show growers and industry around the site.
