Planting
The most critical operation of the season which requires careful planning and monitoring. PY Agronomy will work with you from start to finish, providing advice on planting depths based on moisture availability, pre emergents, knock downs, and adjustments to rotations based on current and predicted conditions.
Crop Monitoring
Regular visits are essential to keep on top of weed control and any issues. These visits are highly dependent on crop type and issues present. We access your paddocks via quad bike, and you will be sent a notification of the visit and recommendations of follow up required.
The key stages include emergence, early growth, mid growth, reproductive phase, maturity & fallow period. All important stages that require expert advice to ensure you reach your production goals. Recommendations are sent from Back Paddock program and are easy to read, and simple to follow.
Harvest
We will assess your paddocks and discuss yield potential, and identify any weed and disease issues that must be considered in the cropping plan for the following year.
You will also receive my PY Agronomy Harvest Audios where I will be talking about yield, grain quality and grades, marketing opportunities and a general update of the harvest as I see it happening. These audios will be sent to you at least weekly.
Post Harvest
We will conduct a review of your yields, discuss any learnings from the season, identify any issues to be included in plan for next
PY Agronomy Audios
You will be emailed a link that will take you directly to the current PY Agronomy audio – these audios are designed so that you can listen to them on the go, whilst sitting in your ute having smoko, on the tractor or in the office.
These audios are commentary from PY Agronomy about what we’ve been seeing in the paddocks, what other farmers are up to in the district, upcoming issues to be aware of, opportunities and events. These are an easy way for you to be kept informed with topical issues in your area.
