We are getting close to planting our target 26,800 plots for the year. Unbelivable effort from our hard working technical team at UQ and Queensland DPI.

Great to catch up with Alex Wu and to check out our @theGRDC @GRDCNorth experiment focused on improving photosynthesis and transpiration in sorghum.

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.

Wow! I got within 10 metres of a wedge tail eagle today, Australia's largest bird of prey. Great start to my weekend bushwalk at Goomburra

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.
