These articles never give the cost per ton of production
I agree, a full run down on the approach used would be interesting so that perhaps we could all learn from it.These articles never give the cost per ton of production
The fact that the project was in conjunction with Bayer would make me more curious of the input costs. Impressive all the same.These articles never give the cost per ton of production
Just goes to show the potential in wheat, I’d love to know his full approach from start to finish and what he put on and when to see could we pick up a few bits, regardless of his cost of production per tonne I’d much rather 7T an acre than 3.5T, think of the women......
You’d be a complete and utter Billy Big Balls if you managed the 7tn. Champagne lifestyle here we come, breakfast in bed in Kelly’s, all the 99 Ice Creams you can eat.

I believe the crop had 126 plants/m2 with ten tillers per plant!Just goes to show the potential in wheat, I’d love to know his full approach from start to finish and what he put on and when to see could we pick up a few bits, regardless of his cost of production per tonne I’d much rather 7T an acre than 3.5T, think of the women......
Mildew and septoria must not be much an issue in that area, if either got hold in a crop like that it would be all overI believe the crop had 126 plants/m2 with ten tillers per plant!
I think I have about 126 plants/m2 in some of ours this year, that’s about all I have in common with the NZ crop though....
This is the NZ crop.

Sunlight is the big ingredient we miss here..I believe the crop had 126 plants/m2 with ten tillers per plant!

I don’t believe this is the case. Spot yields on a combine yield monitor would not be thorough enough for a Guinness world record.I think with that world record in wheat they use a yield monitor on the combine and some part of a field they get that top weight and it's recorded but if you average the whole field it would be much lower.
They do use a yield monitor but he said the monitor in his combine isn’t 100% accurate. He also said that the rules & preparation for the record attempt were quite complex so I’d say it must be well verified.I think with that world record in wheat they use a yield monitor on the combine and some part of a field they get that top weight and it's recorded but if you average the whole field it would be much lower.
Looking at the pics above, I find it hard to believe that there are over 1000 ears/m2. However, they look extremely full. Very good looking width and length in them.Mildew and septoria must not be much an issue in that area, if either got hold in a crop like that it would be all over

Yeah, I agree. Normally, we get too much water - maybe we can take on the record using drainage!!It’s a great achievement to attain a yield like that. The fact that it was irrigated takes from it a bit though.
Plenty of Sunshine and irrigation..... Thought I read somewhere that when wheat is sown it starts with a max potential of 20 ton per acre, it’s how the crop is managed after that dictates how much of that can be achieved!!!!!!!!It’s a great achievement to attain a yield like that. The fact that it was irrigated takes from it a bit though.
This was applied to the crop apparentlyJust goes to show the potential in wheat, I’d love to know his full approach from start to finish and what he put on and when to see could we pick up a few bits, regardless of his cost of production per tonne I’d much rather 7T an acre than 3.5T, think of the women......
2375 kgs of fert a hectare, Jesus that's crazy. You'd need over a tonne and a half an acre to pay for the fert and whatever it cost for the applicationThis was applied to the crop apparently

Am I right that it works out at 242 units an acre? Not unreal excessive, given the tons produced. They have 20 hours of daylight in mid-summer, heat and unlimited water. The nearest equivalent to here is Scotland where they have had record yields too.2375 kgs of fert a hectare, Jesus that's crazy.

Yep, 240 units N/acre. Certainly not crazy in my view.2375 kgs of fert a hectare, Jesus that's crazy. You'd need over a tonne and a half an acre to pay for the fert and whatever it cost for the application
