Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

GRDC in Conversation: Angus Butterfield
Q: What are some of the questions and the conversations that you're having with growers kind of daily?
Growers want practical ways to manage weeds, including strategies that reduce reliance on summer fallow spraying. Butterfield describes trials of pre-emergent and early post-emergent herbicides to control weeds in season and ease the workload after harvest.
GRDC in Conversation: Angus Butterfield
Q: What drew you to the area out here, and obviously the role with Birchip Cropping Group?
Butterfield was initially unsure what career to pursue, but agriculture appealed because of its innovation and ongoing development. He gravitated toward agronomy during university and became especially interested through his practical experience at BCG.
Farm safety: Cassidy and Kade Smith – Next generation breaking the 'she'll be right' mindset
Q: Can you take us through what that survey was about and by the sounds of it, some pretty surprising results from it?
Cassidy surveyed people aged 18 to 35 in agriculture. She says 78% reported sometimes, usually or always breaking safety rules, and about 44% did not know of an online safety resource.
Farm safety: Cassidy and Kade Smith – Next generation breaking the 'she'll be right' mindset
Q: Can you take us through what prompted your enthusiasm and interest in the need for greater farm safety?
Kade says his 2016 motorcycle accident was a wake-up call: he had five broken vertebrae and no way to call for help while waiting beside a water tank.
Risks of canola-on-canola cropping
Q: Thinking now to growers who planted canola into canola stubble this year, Angela, what should they do?
Van de Wouw recommends assessing the crop by cutting open plants, checking crowns and upper canopies for infection, and inspecting pods for disease.
