How is the legend! @_charlesbrice 9 yrs ago he had a motorcycle accident that left him a quadriplegic. Amazingly we are riding together again only this time in Lycra! 300km to raise money for spinal cord research.

ZRS Spartacus barley.
Different %'s of seed spread in front of the tynes.
Total seed rate 60kg\ha.
Sweet spot for cover seems to be around the 50% mark, will be interesting to see where the sweet spot for yield is in 2019.

Agtech question: Is there anyway to upload soil zone shape files directly into the JD Ops centre so I can create prescriptions in the cloud directly and consign Apex to the dustbin of history? #asktwitter

This year's wheat variety trial.
Sown into moisture on 9th May.
4 X 2ha reps.
Vixen appears to be a bit more vigorous than Scepter.
Illabo just there as a curiosity (later than ideal), and in case the other 2 get smashed by frost again.🤷🏼♂️
750mm Gen090 chickpeas starting to look like a crop.
Disc sown.
Still thin where flutriafol (cockup) burnt the seeds, but nodulating happily enough.🤷🏼♂️
Pushing the limits of ZRS ratios here.
Spartacus back on wheat stubble.
Rhizo more of an issue for broadcast seed.
There are reasons why we don't all seed with a spreader and prickle chain combo.
Zero row spaced Spartacus barley, then and now.
45kg through splitter boot an 25kg spread on inter-row.
Filling in not too bad now.
My tolerance to some fellow humans is inversely proportional to my age I've decided.🤬

Splitter boots... Are we really increasing crop comp and reducing weed seed set with them?
The more it grows, the more I'm not so sure.🤷🏼♂️
Had 3 patches of ryegrass in this ZRS Spartacus barley paddock, bought 20lt of Boxer Gold to deal with it.
🤔
Always learning.
Phosphorus trial in Stingray canola.
Not a lot going on yet.
Expect a maturity difference at the yellow end of the season.
Rates weren't corrected for N & S in MAP, also had 1% Zn in fert.
Why we VRA Nitrogen.
Blue = High biomass crop (sandier soils) 50kg available N
Red = Low Biomass (higher clay + boron) 126kg N
Numbers are soil sample locations from 2 weeks ago & the corresponding available N results.
Sand although looking the best requires more N than Clay.
