Grain storage econimcs with Chris Warrick

Action Steel

“A lot of us at harvest, when pressure's on and we're trying to get more harvest hours in a day, more grain in per day, if we're limited by a grain moisture, we go and look at, I'll get a contract harvester in, I'll buy a bigger header next year, I'll go to a second or a third header next year.  What if we could manage moisture in grain do it with less headers? Because we get more hours in a day.  

“So we can start harvest a few hours earlier or run it a few hours later or those overcast days where the moisture is just sitting, a percent above our deliverable. What if we could run our headers on those days and not have as much infrastructure, capital tied up in harvest equipment aeration cooling to blend moisture in storage.  

 “So then, all of a sudden, we get grain storage paying itself with harvest logistics.” Chris Warrick 

In the final episode of the series Planning for Prosperity, BCG’s Janine Batters chats with grain storage expert Chris Warrick about the economics of grain storage and some of the key things to consider before investing in grain storage. The conversation covers aeration cooling, cone and falt bottom silos, grain sheds, bunkers, grain bags, logistics and people management.”

Planning for Prosperity: Grain storage economics with Chris Warrick

Mature fleabane control with Angus Butterfield

First trial, different first knock

Dropzone

second trial, optical sprayer

Camera spray rates

Controlling mature fleabane is tricky. With funding from the Hugh Williamson Foundation and the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund BCG’s Research Agronomist Angus Butterfield completed a research project on controlling mature fleabane. 

The information shared is based on research conducted for the purpose of exploring flea bank control options and should not be considered direct advice.  Please note, some herbicide rates and applications discussed may not align with registered labour requirements or maximum residue limits. We strongly encourage you to consult your agronomist or local advisor before implementing any of the strategies covered here. They can provide guidance tailored to your conditions, ensure compliance with current labour requirements and help you adhere to MRL guidelines. 

The conversation covers the two different double-knock trials Angus undertook to ascertain the most effective mature fleabane control options. In the first trial the first pass was altered with a standard second pass knock. In the second trial, the second pass was altered with a standard first pass knock. In the second trial many of the rates were camera sprayer rates.

“I'm talking dry sowing because we've got a whole range of new pre-emergent herbicides, mostly from other groups, so group 13 and so on, and group 15, which have completely different properties to what we had 20 years ago. 

“We've actually now got an opportunity where we can use that set of chemistry to deal with our ryegrass issues and add to that our crop competition from getting our crop in early in the season. So it's just thinking, I think, about the whole system and saying, well, instead of trying to make knockdown herbicides work all the time, what if we replace knockdown herbicides with something that's different?” - Professor Chris Preston 

In the sixth episode of the BCG’s podcast series Planning for Prosperity BCG’s Janine Batters speaks with The University of Adelaide’s Weed Management Professor Chris Preston about the possible implications of the APVMA’s review of paraquat and diquat and alternative weed control options. The conversation also includes Chris’s top herbicide and planning tips to control weeds to maximise moisture capture this summer.
