Another thing on show at our Conference! LEPA precision irrigation. landwise.org.nz

Very happy with progress on our linear irrigator conversion to LEPA. Great support from WaterForce and Valley NZ. On show at the LandWISE Conference 15-16 May landwise.org.nz

Excited to bring the LandWISE Conference together! "Rebuilding Our Soils" on 15-16 May has regenerative cropping, IPM, cyclone recovery, how to grow an agritech startup, data capture and interpretation. And farm and orchard robots. landwise.org.nz


Excited that @AgriseaClare Bradley, is presenting at the landwise.org.nz Rebuilding Our Soils conference in May! Her work ourlandandwater.nz National Science Challenge work involves integrating Matauranga Maori, farming and scientific knowledge to promote soil health

Research on the performance of image-based weed detection on grass/broadleaf up to 30km/h now up online. Using the OpenWeedLocator, the Arducam camera could find up to 79% of oats and 92% of radish at 30km/h. @Macintyre_an @williamtsalter @SiaSydney sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


Great to discuss progress of our Carbon Positive regenerative cropping research with a broad gathering today. Many perspectives contributing ideas and knowledge, diverse thinking towards a common goal.

Alex and Dan spent most of today with Tobi & Robert from live2give & Mike Kettle contractor working out best way to turn our cover crop into a mulch bed for tomato transplants. Hay mower followed by flail mulcher won. Next step aerating to heave dense soil after a wet few seasons

Start of summer programme at the Microfarm. Spraying out direct drilled Moata in our CarbonPositive "hybrid" plots. We will strip till and stale seedbed before planting process 🍅 for Heinz-Watties.

Looking forward to our Carbon Positive field walk tomorrow afternoon - update folks on winter cover cropping in the different treatments, and have a look at plans for summer tomato cropping. What does "regenerative process tomato production" look like? landwise.org.nz/2023/08/28/car…

Very pleased to get my literature review of non-herbicide weed management options, electric weeding, and robots published Open Access. Part of the Special issue in the NZ Journal of Agricultural Research. Lots of other goodies in there too! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…


Got some helpers in, grazing our Carbon Positive "conventional" cropping treatment plots.

Just been watching Jodi DeJong-Hughes from University of Minnesota Extension talking about soil carbon on Strip-Till Farmer. Different climate and farm system to us, but all very valid, science based info. striptillfarmer.com/articles/4423-…

Our thoughts are with the people of Tairāwhiti as another state of emergency is declared. Our work in the region with @LandWISENZ, @MasseyUni, @plantandfood and councils will continue to help communities recover and landowners to respond to flood damage gisborneherald.co.nz/news/agresearc…


In Gisborne today with @GDC_updates looking at sediment impacted sites and applied management. Some good results and some very difficult sites. What to do in maize paddocks? Hard to get grass in from overhead, too dark or too much residue, but sloppy wet every time it rains again

In Wairoa with farmers and @HawkesBayRC today discussing flood sediment and the path ahead. This elbow high maize was over head height, but with around 1m of fresh sediment, its not even physically harvestable

Totally agree with this. Massive problems after 1938. Filling a top-dresser with seed and sowing the valley as soon as possible after the event would have got autumn growth, settled sands and silts and made everything feel better. nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-tod…


We're going to be in Wairoa on 19th talking to farmers, then Gisborne on 20th for a workshop on soil recovery after Cyclone Gabrielle. All welcome! landwise.org.nz/events/
