Spring Twilight Walk

The Hart Spring Twilight Walk is another informal opportunity to inspect the trial site, this time just prior to harvest, with guest speakers presenting their observations on current trials.  They are on hand to answer your questions, and will also share their knowledge on all the latest cropping systems and agronomic updates. 

The Spring Twilight Walk is followed by drinks and a BBQ in the shed.  A great opportunity to chat more about how your season is unfolding, and to catch up with other farmers in our district and beyond.

On-farm seed retaining and & sourcing - lentil and cereals

Janine Sounness; PB Seeds (lentil)
Thanks to Janine for allowing us to share her presentation post-event. It covers:

• Retaining seed - factors that impact seed for quality crops
• Cleaning for purity
• Germination factors
• Seed size x season
• Sowing rates x germination rate
• Sourcing lentil seed

Colin Edmondson; LongReach Plant Breeders (cereals)
To provide you with a take-home resource following Col's presentation, we've put together an On-farm seed quality test factsheet. It features:

• Important considerations for assessing seed quality
• A step by step guide to calculating grain weight, germination rate and then how to use that information to calculate seeding rates.

Additional note
Being sure of the variety you're sowing is crucial, particularly when purchasing grain farm to farm.
InterGrain have partnered with ZoomAgri to develop ZoomBarley, a device that via computer vision and artificial intelligence is able to identify barley varieties within minutes. Learn more here: https://www.intergrain.com/variety-id-testing/
