In the podcast this week, we’re focusing on harvester set-up and we also discuss how to capture weed seeds in the chaff fraction.John Broster from CSU gives some insight into the research on capturing weed seeds which was done by himself and Michael Walsh from Sydney University.A few years back, they measured how many weed seeds were entering the chaff fraction in a modern harvester. We also hear from WA farmer Andrew Messina about setting up Case harvesters.Finally, with the terrible drought conditions in Queensland and NSW, many farmers have had to source feed from totally different parts of the country. We chat with Grains Farm Biosecurity Officer for Biosecurity Queensland Kym McIntyre about the implications.Learn more about WeedSmart and the Big 6 framework for proven weed management practices by visiting our website.
