Totally agree Tony

He was an impressive leader Stephen. I had the pleasure of dealing with him when we established the Regional Cities research partnership. He leaves an amazing legacy behind in his work as an academic icon for WA



At UWA memorial service for the great and inspiring Alan Robson. The best university leader I have known.

“From scorching droughts & rising sea levels to an increasing frequency of natural disasters, climate change is & will continue to make Australia’s habitable places shrink while threats to life multiply. Australia not only has a huge obligation to act, we have a huge opportunity”

Home, after 6 weeks in France. It’s a great country. Nothing like one’s own bed! Now immersion back into family, life, ag, uni, sport etc. There are many great countries to live in, certainly including Australia.

AGRI-CHEMICAL APPLICATION: A Spray Forum held in the Barossa in early 2024 aimed to have the tough discussions around spray drift in the SA grain industry. With more than 160 people in attendance, the message was loud and clear, but was it heard? Read p68: shorturl.at/HBeZF

Regulatory agencies in 70 countries around the world have conducted in excess of 4400 risk assessments. All reach the same conclusion: GM crops and foods that have been assessed provide no greater risk to human health or the environment than non-GM crops and foods.…

4. GMOs Are Safe: GMOs are thoroughly tested before approval. Over 20 years of studies show they're as safe as non-GMO foods, with benefits like increased crop yield and pest resistance. 5/

So scary

If you look very, very closely, you may detect just the slightest hint of a trend.

I’m coming home early in time to attend. Couldn’t miss it!

Big announcement! 🎇 We're so happy to unveil the speaker line-up for ‘Grounded in Soil Science: Celebrating #UWA E/Prof Lynette Abbott’s Golden Jubilee of Research & Service’ on 18 Nov. This special @UWAresearch symposium is hosted by @SAgE_UWA & @IOA_UWA linkedin.com/posts/uwa-ioa_…



Me too mate. And coming from a poor family it was the only way I could possibly go to university. Very grateful.

Interesting the debate about uni fees. I was fortunate to get free education plus living fees. And I’m eternally grateful for that. It was the Whitlam government that brought that in but … it was the Hawke government that took it away with bilateral agreements!



Bonjour Richard. This weekend I’ve been in great winter wheat fields in Reims area. I don’t know this herbicide but see it’s a phytoene desaturase inhibitor like old DFF. I will ask FMC Aus when I return in 2 weeks. Happy cropping Richard. Steve

Hidden behind the FWI paywall I am afraid. So it's 40% of the bixlozone in Overwatch 🤔, I wonder how good 500g would be.... I have no experience of beflubutamid, is it available in AU @SBPowles ?



Nicolas considers sugar beets a crucial crop giving him diversity in his rotation. He’s got the soils, market and savoir-fair. Don’t think we will adopt!
