HOW A GROWER FROM VICTORIA IMPLEMENTED A RANGE OF CONTROL STRATEGIES

The 2022-23 winter crop harvest has certainly been a drawn out process due to wet weather disruptions particularly in the South of the country. While many a header had to be winched out of the mud more than once, the hard work has been worth it, overall production was higher in 2022-23 across several states and prices have held up well particularly for cereals.

Attention will now turn to paddock preparation with extra emphasis on summer weed control and the added workload of smoothing out wheel tracks. Our team have been busy running best practise workshops, catering to the ever evolving world of Ag Tech and field research, leading to improved profitability on-farm. In addition to working with clients we’ve been busy educating our staff on the latest developments in agriculture via key conferences such as evokeAG.

EvokeAG has just concluded for another year and the premier agrifood tech conference didn’t disappoint. Elders is proud to sponsor the event which brings together cutting edge technologies and likeminded individuals all focussed on propelling agriculture into the future. It’s an opportune time for Australian agriculture. The demand for safe, quality, Australian product is at an alltime high, and as a sector we’re well positioned for exponential growth as Australia’s neighbouring populations continue to grow and prosper.

As always, for more information about the products featured in this magazine, we recommend contacting your local Elders branch.
