Aims

To investigate the question 'Is time of sowing as important in a high decile season'?

Key messages
  • Minnipa Agriculture Centre results showed significant yield advantage with earlier sowing in trial data even in a great season.
  • Weeds can have a large effect on early sown crops, but most farmers try to have some paddocks set up to sow early.
  • If early sowing is an option take advantage of it.
