Weed seed impact mill technology - where it's at




WeedSmart Podcast show

Summary: It's been almost two years to the day that we released our first podcast on weed seed impact mill technology. Back then, we caught up with WA (Cuballing) farmer, Roger Newman about his experience with the HSD and Andrew Todd (Dowerin, WA) about his experience with the Seed Terminator (check out the 2018 podcast here: https://weedsmart.org.au/podcasts/harvest-seed-destroying-mill-technology-explained/). Well, as you would know, there's been lots of developments in the mill space, with Redekop and now TecFarm coming onto the scene with their own mills. In this podcast, Jessica Strauss is joined by guest co-host, agricultural engineer and Manager of Research and Development for the Kondinin Group, Ben White. Ben gives a comprehensive overview of where mill technology is at. We have interviews from farmers who are running different weed seed impact mills, including an update from Roger Newman, mentioned above; Dave Trewick from Elmore, Victoria, who has an HSD and Seed Terminator; Lyndon Bird from Goomalling, WA, who has a Redekop SCU; and Tom Lewis from Tecfarm who talks about the most recently released mill, the WeedHOG. Thanks to everyone for making this podcast possible!
