   Nitrogen, What's Next? With Dr. Corinne Celestina

   Dr. Yolanda Plowman sat down with Dr. Corinne Celestina to discuss the findings from RiskWi$e's nitrogen (N) field trials. Corinne and Yolanda cover three main findings from the trials including the value of calculating your partial N balance. This is as easy as calculating N input as fertilizer or fixation (if you are growing a legume) and export as grain. This partial N balance can help you figure out whether you are losing or building N in your system. We hope you enjoy!

   Planning for Prosperity: Grain storage economics with Chris Warrick

   “A lot of us at harvest, when pressure's on and we're trying to get more harvest hours in a day, more grain in per day, if we're limited by a grain moisture, we go and look at, I'll get a contract harvester in, I'll buy a bigger header next year, I'll go to a second or a third header next year. What if we could manage moisture in grain do it with less headers? Because we get more hours in a day. “So we can start harvest a few hours earlier or run it a few hours later or those overcast days where the moisture is just sitting, a percent above our deliverable. What if we could run our headers…

   Planning for Prosperity: Paraquat and diquat implications and summer weed control tips with Professor Chris Preston

   “I'm talking dry sowing because we've got a whole range of new pre-emergent herbicides, mostly from other groups, so group 13 and so on, and group 15, which have completely different properties to what we had 20 years ago. “We've actually now got an opportunity where we can use that set of chemistry to deal with our ryegrass issues and add to that our crop competition from getting our crop in early in the season. So it's just thinking, I think, about the whole system and saying, well, instead of trying to make knockdown herbicides work all the time, what if we replace knockdown herbicides…

   Planning for Prosperity: Safety First: What’s the Rush with Warakirri’s Jono Robinson

   Planning for Prosperity: NetZero 2050: What farmers need to know with Professor Richard Eckard

   “Because the fossil fuel sector has started reducing its emissions, the transport sector started reducing its emissions and agriculture stayed the same. Suddenly, this year, we're not 14 percent like we were last year, we're 17%. It's a percentage game. So what's going to happen over time is if agriculture does nothing, we'll become the only sector of greenhouse gas emissions while all the other sectors go to zero.” Professor Richard Eckard. In the fourth episode of our series Planning for Prosperity, sponsored by Action Steel, BCG’s Janine Batters chats with soil carbon royalty: The…
