Planning for a tighter season? Red Khan is worth a look.

Red Khan is a strong chickpea option for growers who value harvestability, seed size and solid yield potential. It is well suited to tough growing conditions and variable soil types, making it a practical fit for lower moisture seasons across central and southern Queensland and northern NSW. With suitability for low to medium rainfall environments, plus early flowering, mid maturity, large grain size and good harvestability, Red Khan brings both resilience and market appeal.

If you are weighing up varieties for the season ahead, speak with the Shepherd Grain team about whether Red Khan fits your program.

If you’re looking for a reliable barley option when the season is tight, Granite CL is worth a proper look.

It’s a quick mid Clearfield® feed barley built for practical performance: excellent yield potential, an erect growth habit and medium plant height, with strong lodging tolerance and low head loss risk. That combo matters when you want the crop to stand up and stay there.

On the grain side, it brings good grain size and solid test weight, plus a strong disease resistance profile, so you’re not starting the season on the back foot.

What’s your number one barley headache in a tough year, lodging, head loss, w**ds or disease? Drop it in the comments or message us if you want to talk options.

Desiccating mung beans?

Get the timing wrong, and you could pay.

Here are some quick tips from our Agronomist, Bill, to help you hit a cleaner harvest window, without the usual scramble.

Q: What’s the point of desiccation?
To help the crop finish more evenly and get you into a clean harvest window.

Q: When should you start thinking about it?
When the bulk of pods are filled and the crop is moving into maturity.
You’re supporting harvest timing, not forcing a green crop to quit.

Q: What’s the checklist before you go?
Three quick checks:
• Crop stage, mostly mature pods
• Forecast, don’t desiccate into a rain event
• Header plan, be ready to move when it’s right
• Choose the right desiccant for the job and observe WHP.

Q: What’s the biggest mistake growers make?
Desiccating too early, or desiccating then waiting too long. Desiccation sets the clock, so have your harvest and sales plan ready.

What’s your biggest desiccation lesson learned, early, late, or weather got you?

Winter planting feels chaotic when you tackle it as one big decision.

The growers who stay calm usually follow a sequence, not a scramble.

Here’s the practical framework we use at Shepherd Grain:
1. Start with your sowing window
2. Overlay paddock risk, think crown rot, RLN, soil constraints, soil nutrient status.
3. Confirm your receival objective and grade target
4. Lock in w**d control early, including Clearfield plans
5. Build a whole-of-program seed plan across winter crops, not a single-variety punt

What’s driving your 2026 call most, sowing timing, paddock constraint, receival target, or w**d control plan?

Kudos is for growers who want a wheat option that makes sense on paper and in the paddock.

If you’re planning your 2026 winter crop now, the smarter starting point is margin, not just yield.

Kudos is positioned as an excellent alternative to other early to mid-season options with a significant increase in profitability relative to it, plus a strong story for early sowing, crown rot paddocks, and lodging tolerance.
