Great to see the almost perfect establishment in our GRDC DPI sorghum lodging experiment. Love sorghum!

Getting excellent germination results from last year's hybrid seed. Bodes well for good trials this year.

Great night for star gazing. This photo was taken with my mobile phone. I am so lucky to live where I do. Light polution means that many people never see the stars.

Our divergent selection experiment is in full swing led by Sofie Pearson. 6000 individually RFID tagged plants phenotypes before flowering enabling data driven crosses to be made. Great support for this work from Sean MRR and Colleen Hunt #logistics #fielddata

The durra race of sorghum is a favourite. Interesting history. The goose neck phenotype is common.

Big morning of hand harvesting today. 500 AxR plots. Many hands make light work.
