The crop is only approx. 300 acres & 4 headers gobbled it up very quickly while I was away at work. (Got the call after I’d left town – about 20 mins before they started)!  I did send my stepdaughter to get some pics, but the subject matter was much too far away – so I’ve had to copy the ones from the Facebook post.

In terms of district averages, most local cockies will tell you “1.7 tonne”. But, in actual fact, that’s probably a little optimistic & the true figure would more accurately be around 1.4 tonnes per hectare. So, to achieve a 2.8 tonne average is pretty fantastic. I did try my best to get some feedback about how the crop yielded in various areas – but all I got was bloody crickets!  At the end of harvest – all these jokers seem to think about is heading off to the coast for 6 weeks & forgetting about farming…    Anyway, In all fairness, by no-ones fault we were very much “late to the party” in 2018 with just getting 1 PyroAg spray onto the crop. Next, I’ll try and structure something that offers a much greater chance of obtaining accurate ongoing feedback for this years crop.

That’s about it for now.
