Darcy with an update from our site down in Tassie. Plenty to look at in the plots in 2025 🙌 @theGRDC
A week visiting @AGF_Seeds customers & @GRDC_NVT sites in SE QLD & NE NSW for updates on new exciting dual purpose mid-quick maturity winter wheat - Triple 2, mid maturity spring barley - Gretchen & forage blend performances. 1. Triple 2, 2. Captain CL 3. Mighty Graze 4. Gretchen
Just under a month until our Spring Field Day and the site is looking amazing. Join us on October 22nd to view our Smeaton trial site with over a thousand trial plots covering broadacre, pasture & forage, and multispecies blends. RSVP 👇 forms.office.com/r/jvHnP0ESDD
The @AGF_Seeds wheat trial site as we head into spring field day season. Lots to show & discuss here culminating in our field day on October 22nd. 3 times of sowing & 3 fungicide strategies - should be plenty to learn @BreedersPlant @AuSeednet @agtbreeding @RAGTAU @InterGrain1
Triple 2 continues to look impressive in trials and in the paddock. We can't wait to for its first commercial harvest so we can hear growers' experiences with this great variety.
New Lentil variety for 2026 “ALB Dane” (ALB2321) at the BCG Main Field Day yesterday. The recent AgVic releases have had a 🐕 naming theme, Kelpie & Terrier, with no real correlation, but not this time, “Great Dane”, big dog & big Lentil.
Week on the road in NE Vic, NSW Riverina & Sth NSW Tablelands visiting Broadacre customers & @GRDC_NVT , @far_australia , HBS @agrobaz trials to assess how new & pre commercial wheat and barleys handling the challenging season thus far @AGF_Seeds
Introducing Gretchen Spring Barley 🌾High Yielding 💪Strong Disease Package AGF Seeds’s latest release Gretchen has shown 5 to 10% yield improvements over RGT Planet and packs a strong disease package. Here's what you need to know 👇
The @AGF_Seeds seed crop of AGT Bunyip IA barley -world’s 1st dual herbicide tolerant barley from @agtbreeding tolerant to imidazoline and Agressor herbicide with similar plant type & maturity to Maximus CL with observed + yield in trials. Available for 2026 sowing @ryan_milgate
Key time to look for STB in wheat. In photos note how the dead lower leaves start to look black (due to number of fruiting bodies). In Tasmania this week untreated RGT Accroc had 85% incidence of STB on the lower leaves compared to 5% in Longford.@far_australia @grdc
A look at @AGF_Seeds Mowhawk wheat seed crop today. A quick winter wheat with low vern requirement & strong disease package providing earlier sowing window/early break wheat suited for warmer production/shorter season environments. Pic3 vs Scepter @BreedersPlant @DMAg_consultant
Frustratingly the story of the season..@AGF_Seeds Newton barley seed crop L late establishment on heavier soils and R quicker establishment on lighter soils showing the typical dense tillering of this variety @AuSeednet
Mowhawk growth habit really showing vs Scepter with late April sowing. Will be interesting to see disease differences, flowering time and eventually yield 🌾 @BreedersPlant @AGF_Seeds @BrendanTorpy @tommy_bath
The first cut of our Multispecies Trial. With the goal of increasing the data behind our seed blends this trial compares a range of different pasture & forage blends against single variety plots.
Milestone at Smeaton 🌾 Our first official grazing cereal trial is now underway at the AGF Seeds site - oats in the ground and growing well! #GrazingOats #PTN #PastureTrials #CerealForage | @meatlivestock | @Dairy_Australia
Save the date - October 22nd Our major field day for the year will be held on October 22nd. With over a thousand plots covering pasture, forage, multispecies blends, and broadacre there will be something for every farmer or agronomist. More details to come closer to the date.
The @AGF_Seeds Long Season Wheat variety x disease management trial sown 17th April toughing it out ok in the dry at Smeaton.
Seeing is believing! We have increased the number of trials Triple 2 will be entered in in 2025. If you are in a medium or high rainfall zone looking for a mid-maturity winter wheat with incredibly high yield potential, make it a priority to go see Triple 2 in person this year
Busy day for the @AGF_Seeds R&D trials crew yesterday with sowing our largest main season wheat trial we have ever completed and harvesting a summer production of a new exciting barley line. Like everyone, could just use some more help from the sky.
In the business of this time of year in the seed industry, a proud moment for @AGF_Seeds to see our new Triple 2 winter wheat being packed for dispatch. There were years of work, trials and multiplication to get to this point & demand has been strong for this new exciting variety
