🪲 Next up from our dryland maize paddock: African black beetle — arguably Gippsland’s number one pest when it comes to getting crops established!

Changes to chlorpyrifos labels mean we’re losing a familiar control option, and that’s a significant concern. For context, this paddock HAS received an insecticide application using product Adrian had in the shed from last year, carrying a maize use claim for farmer use. That’s very different from what we can recommend under the new labels.

At present, we don’t have a direct replacement insecticide option we can recommend for this situation. That puts even more pressure on seed treatments to protect establishing crops — and this challenge extends well beyond maize.

Another reason to get out, dig around and keep a close eye on what’s happening as crops emerge! 🌱

🌱 And while we’re checking on the maize, here’s a first look at the fodder beet!

It’s also up and out of the ground, albeit a little less visible from the highway — this one needs a closer look! 🔎 Looking forward to watching it get going as the weather warms up.

Please excuse the wind noise again — Gippsland is clearly committed to keeping that September breeze going! 💨

🌽 Our dryland maize demo is up and about, and we’re already seeing some cool things!

You might be an agro when you get excited about the difference 72 hours makes… 😂 The paddock was sown on Friday 16 October, along with half the population wheel. Thanks to Australia Post losing some seed, the other half of the wheel wasn’t sown until Monday 19th — and the difference is already clear!

The paddock has since received 17mm of the forecast 40mm. I’ll take that as a perfect follow-up to the moisture we sowed into, although I’d love to see the heat come back!

Please excuse the wind noise — apparently windy September in Gippsland is still going strong in October! 💨

Not just maize! 🌽🌱

Our dryland trial/demo site has a little something extra tucked in the back—RAGT’s 1505 fodder beet.

Gippsland has a strong connection to beets, and fodder beet offers another feed option worth exploring, with the potential to produce similar dry matter yields to maize and the flexibility to be grazed directly or lifted for feeding.

We’re keen to see what 1505 can do alongside the maize this season. Watch this space!

Remember the agronomist putting zip ties on a chain? Mystery solved! 😂🌽

It was all in the name of precision planting… by hand!

The chain marked out the planting positions for a population wheel at our dryland maize trial/demo site, helping us explore which sowing rate best suits our Gippsland dryland conditions.

We know 115,000 seeds/ha will be too high—but where between that and 45,000 seeds/ha is the sweet spot? That’s what we’re aiming to find out.

We’re in the ground—and as of this morning, we have shoots! 🌱🌽

Here’s a look at the sowing of our dryland maize trial/demo site earlier this week, including the population wheel. Now to see how it all shapes up as the season unfolds!

“What the bloody hell is the agronomist doing this afternoon?” 🤨🌽

A fair question from the Elders Maffra team after walking in on Emma putting coloured zip ties on a length of chain.

We have questions. Several, actually.

Apparently, it’s all part of preparing to plant a population wheel at our dryland maize trial out at Rosedale.

She assures us there’s a method to the madness.

For the time being, we still have questions. 😂
