What starts out as a pretty decent day soon turns to disaster. Just needing one final push to finish wheat seeding for 2022. I also get the drone out and harass the neighbours.

Just tell the neighbours it’s a row width trail and it’s best to randomize through the field for non bias replicated data. Put flags up with different colours they’ll think your on to something

Have a cutting wheel in front of the times and this should solve your problem. Also plant a cover crop and crimp roll it before planting,it will eventually smother out the weeds and stop the need for spraying. I am a retired baker and do really appreciate good quality wheat. Keep up the good work.

I feel your pain brother!! We parked up the knife point bar ages ago now and went to a disc seeder. Its so satisfying chopping up weeds you know would be causing you trouble. I dont think that any one way is the complete answer. It seems that a rotation of techniques works best. All disc for years and you eventually get a very rough paddock. Throw a cultivator in the mix every few years loosens up everything and levels it off. Keep up the hard work!! Its good to see your rich dark clays looking so wet.

Does Australia not allow for ground prepping before seeding? I've never seen someone seed straight into no tilled or cleaned/cleared land. so many twigs and junk in there.
@lockvalleyfarms981
@lockvalleyfarms981 Ай бұрын
Tillage is extremely rare here. We are allowed to, but we don't do it because most of Australia has a fragile thin layer of top soil. It leaves us open to wind and water erosion. It also opens up the soil and depletes moisture levels, which is not ideal in a very dry country. Most farmers are working away at removing underground rock/reefs and filling in wash ways ect to straighten paddocks up. It is expensive, so only gets done on years we can afford it, or have the time to do it

You would think the companies that make the weed killers would make something that kills only weed & the weed seed early or preemptive and can be used early with not a ton of litres going out...... Tbh I think they want it to keep happening because otherwise they would not sell as much weed killer......basically they make it effective but not "too" effective, forcing you to buy more etc etc... I have a weird love farming but am not a farmer, but how have companies not figured out how to just demolish weeds easy and early after 100's of years.....they a pest in my small backyard farm constantly. I can't imagine how much it costs any farmer just to stop/slow the weeds.....imagine if you could guarantee no weeds......

This season more farmers are laughing at non-users of the “SNX30 fertilizer supplement” - that rolls back fertilizer prices to 1984. Listen to what 3 agronomists, a past Board Member of the New York Farm Viability Institute (and farmer), a Georgia Corn Commission Board Member (and farmer), top NCGA corn yield winners, soil structure and nutrient manager and other farmers say about the unmatched benefits of the “SNX30 fertilizer supplement”. If you can't believe them, who can you believe? As one farmer claimed - It almost feels like cheating.
