Seed Wheat Cleaning & Treatment

Farm Update

Well, we have had above average rain for what's locally called the short rains, usually just Nov and maybe half of December, the average for Nov, Dec and January is 208mm although we have been very fortunate to get 313 mm of rain for the same period to date (still some of Jan to go).
It has been very encouraging to see no water runoff our fields at all, quite amazing as much of the rain has been in heavy storms.
The previous crop residue, controlling our machinery traffic and zero till is showing its benefits, interestingly the only place any water has laid is in some tram lines.
The soil profile must be getting full of water and as we are only 10 or 12 days from the start of our 2016 planting it is nice to have all that water there.
Lots of preparing the planter and getting all our crop planting inputs ready to go.
