Update on QR codes on chem drums: from the feedback I've received from growers and chem companies it appears there is alot of support for this, one company appears ready to go but is waiting for industry/on farm technology to catch up so my question is; where do we go from here?

**Question Farmers**
My AGLP project will look into educating growers around the carbon space. With so much noise around Carbon projects, Carbon sequestration, Emission intensities and much more I though I’d ask the question - Are you comfortable with your knowledge on Carbon? – at Cloncurry, Queensland
G'day from Meningie SA, got a spot on a future agleaders program and my project focus is on efficiency in chemical recording on farm. Question is, should all chemical drums have a QR code on them containing chem name/active/strength/batch number/DOM to assist with record keeping?

Currently working on a project to increase farm financial literacy in farmers aged between 20-30. Ahead of the project kicking off next week I have a few questions: What do you wish you knew in your 20's about farm finance? How do you learn the best? eg workshop, podcast

Home to Port Adelaide via Northern Connector - 40 minutes in a truck.
Fast and efficient.
Sitting in line at the fert depot, waiting to be loaded - 2 hours, 10 minutes.
Not fast and not efficient.
Arrive back home to tip off....fert shed not high enough!

quick rundown on my chem trailer, not designed for pre batching more to easily shift between tanks in paddocks and not have to unhook hoses etc. Still a work in progress and will add a walkway to side and fine tune some hose storage @tomferg88 @brentmorton8

Gday Everyone. We run 4 to 5 headers all in one paddock ranging from 8090’s to 9.90’s. Grainlosses with different operators is real thought on Bushel plus system ? Setting up each header ?
#AskTwitter has anyone running a @topconX35 had trouble with the steering wandering like this and managed to work out why? Can't seem to make it stop. TIA

Will not take this truck and seed/fertilizer trailer anywhere without this auger, when its not needed its out of sight and out of mind, seeding, harvest, urea, road training, seed cleaning

Plozza vs Spade vs Rip. Differences in the establishment of the barley. NWS still seems to be our biggest limitation early on #sandysoils trial site @Mel_Fraser1 @cdennerley @TimEckert7 @GRDCSouth
Old mini-mix concrete mixer makes for a great lucerne innoculator! 👌 @simplicityaus @SeedMasterMfg

Great to have the Meningie-Field crew and Uni SA guys in the paddock at our Malinong #SandySoil site this morning. Ripping depths, spading speeds, plozza ploughs, blue sand, compaction, acidity & water repellence all covered
