OZ tonne snapshot

[Landdownunder]

I suggetst not super accurate 69.5 to 70.2 million tonne nearer the mark when on farm stocks "properly" accounted for. Dunno farmers think "there clever" hiding not declaring tonnes everyone knows there out there.

oh and before you say errr australian maths no good.

lentils peas beans lupins chickies in 67 mill or whatever the official figure was

How did OZ get a record crop in a season that had also saw record fertilizer prices? Good weather of course is 90% of the battle. Here we are finding out that most crops were only average last fall with the exception of wheat, which was above average.

some parts of oz timely rain is more important thank using inputs for max production.

example we ran at 40 bushel wheat average 40kg urea at seeding 40 kg DAP at seeding was a mix that's it no more Fert.

if we applied extra N may well have picked up extra 10 bushels

PS yields bushels per acre Fert kgs per ha or 2.47 acres

Farm sold down the road about 4 miles record price $950 per acre horrendous. Frost prone area as well

Just curious Mallee what would your average yield be for wheat? What makes an area more frost prone four miles away? Is it just elevation?

Some of our ground is frost prone as it’s very low and beside a huge swamp that is usually 3-5 degrees cooler at night. Land is pushing $4-5k a cultivated acre here for rocks, hills, trees, and muskeg that could grow 60 bu wheat with way more fertilizer than you’re putting down. Most of our ground is better suited to cows as most 160 acre quarters only have 80 to 130 useable acres on them.

Thanks for being our window into life on the other side of the world 🍀

I like to average 30 to 36 bushels
Frost yes elevation and soil type and pockets were cold air can't move
