Some big faba crops this year, already lodged so windrowing will be a viable option. Easier to manipulate the canopy with the reel when green rather than at harvest.
Everyone worries about rain on windrowed beans, but dropping onto dry soil helps & it improves harvest timing.
Is it worth windrowing faba beans? Possibly.
Much easier to pick timing compared with canola and the crop can be surprisingly green when ready.

For those interested, we will be holding a very practical and informal trial walk next Wednesday 2-5pm. Very visual and informal trial inspection evaluating stripe rust, varietal (cereals, canola and pulses), nutrition (Riskwi$e) and agronomy trials. @GRDCNorth
Come along this rainy Tuesday morning, have your say into the future of regionally relevant GRDC RD&E
Attention: Forbes growers
Looking for practical ideas you can take back to the farm? There's still time to join tomorrow's GRDC NGN Forum at Mulyandry.

Time running out on no charge @theGRDC national cereal stubble testing for Fusarium crown rot levels. Staff still keen with 2 week turnaround from when we get samples. Get them off before end of month to not miss out. Over 600 paddocks tested nationally so far.
Struggling with fertiliser decisions and looking for more info? Give this a listen
🎧PODCAST: Nutrition in a year with low starting water & high fertiliser costs🎧
🎯2026 looks a tough one, not much moisture about & getting high $$$$ fert a challenge.
Listen to our chat with @MaurieStreet re:
❓Where do you get the best ROI from your fert $$.
🚜Should you put your limited fert tonnes on wheat OR canola?
🧐Is NOT fertilising your crop false economy?

Paddock Perspective | Tom Curry - Bethungra, NSW🌾
Meet Tom Curry, who farms in the triangle between Cootamundra, Junee and Temora in southern New South Wales. His mixed farming operation spans around 3,700 acres, combining cropping and livestock.
Despite a drier-than-usual autumn, Tom’s wheat, barley and cereals are holding strong, and he’s hopeful for a good finish if a little rain arrives soon.
Right now, Tom is focused on making the most of his available resources and making smart decisions to keep his operations productive and sustainable.

This week we finished the 2025 GRDC Southern NSW Farming Systems project field walks looking at eight years of small plot research and how it upscales into real world scenarios – #diversefarms.
Topics included diverse rotations, nitrogen legacy, lime incorporation, rainfall into profit, pulse logistics and weed & disease control.
Thanks to everyone involved including host farmers, guest speakers, advisors, the project team and all those who attended.

Great to see interest and uptake of the #diversefarms projects at field walks yesterday. @GRDCNorth
🌱Another great day at Rannock and Junee with the #diversefarms field walks taking a look at pulses (faba beans, lentils, vetch) in the rotation.
Great discussions on –
👉inoculation and rhizobia
👉recent soil cores in different crops
👉legacy N
👉lime incorporation
👉grain storage
👉stripper fronts
👉harvest weed seed control
👉mixed species grazing and more.
Diverse Farms brings eight years of GRDC Southern NSW Farming Systems research into the paddock, testing diverse rotations against existing systems on real farms.
Thank you to Matt McKinley and Andrew Quigley for hosting and to everyone who contributed.
