Paul & Jack Kaden Mitchville, Cowell. EP
4000 ha cropping
3 year rotation
Canola Wheat Barley , Medic pasture 3 -5 years.
12" - 17" Rainfall
200mm GSR to date
Seeder: Bougault knife point 12"
Liquid injection Water Rate 50 L/Ha
Phos Acid 4 units of P at sowing
Pre mixers Zn & mangenese with 2 -3 units of dissolved Urea.
In the past used 50kg/ha of 32.18.0. Use small amounts of N - too much biomass for rainfall.
Better early vigour in crops.
Land Value $285 / Acre Farm sold next door few years ago.
Canola 43C80 & Stingray
Wheat Kord Clearfield wheat - Brome Grass control and dry sowing.
Mace Wheat, Mace on 2nd wheats for YLS.
Hindmarsh Barley
Onion Weed resistance for groups B herbicides - Challenge
Brome grass & Barley grass - concerned about resistance to Group B chemistry.
On advisor committee for EPARF at Minnepa Research Centre.
300 members
Purpose for lobby, research trials.
