This week we hear from Anthony and Jim Salvestro, Wilbriggie as they talk about their experience and plan for double cropping after canola. In 2016/17 they grew a dry broadcast Viand crop after canola. This year they will drill Viand straight after canola and they share their strategy for the season.

The late water allocations has meant many growers are considering late sowing. Harriet asks Brian Dunn, NSW DPI about the considerations growers should make if planting outside the recommended planting window for Reiziq.
