Speedtiller Powerflex®. Incorporating stubble & preparing seedbeds in Ungarie
AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURE ABOVE & BEYOND
With boomer crops, commodity pricing at an all-time high, and favourable weather conditions, Australian ag is set for a record- breaking season.The 2021 winter crop was forecast to reach a record high production level of 23.2 million hectares nationally, up by 2% from 2020’s record highs! Though some areas have experienced tougher seasonal conditions, yield prospects in most cropping regions through New South Wales, Western Australia and much of Queensland are very favourable. Winter rainfall was above average in most cropping regions throughout the eastern states and South Australia, and subsoil moisture remains above average in many areas, supporting crop growth as we head into Spring. The Bureau of Meteorology predicts that the next three months will continue to be
wetter than usual, and minimum temperatures are expected to be well above the median in most regions, decreasing the risk of frost. However, the re-emergence of mice populations in the eastern states is causing increased costs of production for some producers, as they are having to implement further control measures to minimise damage to the winter crop planting and development. As a result of the above average rainfall received across most regions, boomer crops will bring challenges with massive stubble residue loads and high growth of summer weeds. Another issue needing to be addressed this year will be utilising strategic tillage to clean up paddocks that have rutted bog holes and washout as a result of the wet winter. Managing these
issues is key, and here at K-Line Ag we are continually reviewing and developing our machines to offer the most efficient and suitable machinery options to help farmers overcome these types of challenges. Our most popular product, the Speedtiller®, will cut and incorporate stubble and weeds while renovating your soil and preparing a level seedbed. Supported by strong global prices and a growing demand for Australian export, wheat prices are expected to remain high throughout the next 12 months. Overall, with record-high commodity prices and increasingly favourable conditions, the ag industry remains stronger than ever as we move towards the end of the year. On behalf of the entire K-Line Ag team, I would like to extend my gratitude to all our customers
