@therealbiztang @SAPowerNetworks @bigbushelsag Happened to me this time last year in wheat , then they took off towards what they thought was a gate then when they realised there was no gate did a big sweeping U turn in the crop 😬

What’s peoples experience in making a clam to @SAPowerNetworks for crop loss? Be handy if you this during autumn or early winter before a crop comes up. I bet @bigbushelsag was driving too.

@CropDoctor54 @AFL As a neutral supporter here I’m calling that one against jones the worst decision I’ve ever seen

And again @AFL You’ve cost 2 goals in 2 minutes

Lachie Jones, I feel for you. With such ridiculous holding-the-ball rules these days by the AFL, that call was a 2 goal swing. The perfect goal-saving tackle, gets called a dangerous one. @AFL you’ve ruined the game. 👎

@Dan_Feder88 @Milliganreports @CharlotteKing88 I was thinking the same thing , in the spuds was it always insecticides using the planes , hopefully they didn’t put out paraquat with planes in those early days

@Milliganreports @CharlotteKing88 Interesting to see if it’s actually linked, I’m dubious. We farm in one of longest continuous cropped areas with very long use and haven’t heard or know any uptick in Parkinson’s. The old boys who stood in the paddock for crop dusters would have been drenched in DDT.

Excellent work investigating possible links between the chemical paraquat and the devastating burden of Parkinson’s disease in farming communities, by Andy Burns, @CharlotteKing88 and the hard-working team at ABC Regional Investigations. abc.net.au/news/2024-08-3…

@Glenn_SoilAgro @paulretired1951 @HoolyMcg @WaddiPark @DigbyStretch Glenn would you mind following me so that I can send you a message ? Cheers

@paulretired1951 @HoolyMcg @WaddiPark @DigbyStretch In/on furrow wetter is the normal practice. More long term practices like claying or inversion becoming more widespread. On farm R&D on claying gravels happening now.

Ag Q ! How long can canola sit in the ground dormant? Sown may 1ish. Some at 6 leaf and new Cotts coming through now. From 1cm deep. Iv never seen a germination spread like this.

@therealbiztang @burgess_ag Good plan ..u can never be too careful😂😂

@RedwingFarm @burgess_ag Still waiting for some rye grass to come up lol.

Wonder if I ring up and order another 150T of urea it will scare the weather away?? 🤣🤣

@therealbiztang @burgess_ag U got the seeder out of the shed yet biz ?

@burgess_ag I think there’s talk that things are full here and boats might get send away if more come. I’m just like pumping urea on for the hell of it.

@CorbinSchuster @nrl_bunker69 Yeah I was bluey in the 80s then changed to ranga sometime in the mid 90s

@nrl_bunker69 Ranga is the 2000's version of Bluey it seems

Loading a truck yesterday, the driver, an older bloke, introduced himself, "Gday mate, the name's Warren but call me Bluey." "No worries Bluey, where's that nickname from?" (Thinking a Blue Heeler dog...Winfield Blue cigarettes?) "Oh when I was younger, I had red hair, so me mates would call me Bluey"

@agbyte_leet @TrentBuysValue @ColBurns1954 @peters_malcolm @ZeeRooAlpha Have you ever looked into the virtual power plant scheme leet ?

ZeeRoo, so total cost was ~$31K which inc SA gov subsidy ($6K). I'm thankful for that, but do believe that market economics should stack up without a subsidy in the longer term. I think I'd pay the full amount if I had my time again; I'm very interested in solar/battery Tech (I use it daily in my work), and to not have the worry about bills or being without power is quite liberating.

Well.....just got my power bill. I have solar panels & all are working fine ATM (checked). It HAS been wet & cloudy for most of the last billing quarter. But. My solar credit this qtr amounted to $57. My panels will be up for replacement in about 2yrs. If this is any indication of my solar benefit, then quite simply, the panels will not be replaced. There simply wud be no real dollar benefit in doing so.

@sm_schulz @waldaevan It’s designed so your porta bins have clearance and don’t scrape 🤪

This new way of road grading is handy so you know where the middle is @waldaevan at least it’s consistent I guess.

@tiredguineapig On the flip side, when you’re doing it tough there are people in your life with real care and compassion. They may not understand but still help unconditionally. These people stand out like beacons, such beautiful people.

@iatrogenicfraud @cfs_jo He mentions early intervention right at the end there , what intervention ??? I’m yet to see any intervention options in our journey so far

What’s happened to Bhupesh Prusty? He’s gone quiet on here. Has he moved to another platform or just not commenting? #ME #MECFS

@agbyte_leet What’s the secret to growing cherries , about to plant another one after the first one looked great for 3 years then died very quickly

Always love heading to our orchard after I've been on the road. Even though I was only away 2 days, at this time of year lots changes. The biggest bunch of cherries I've ever grown (there are less there now!) Kiwifruit looking very healthy in it's 2nd Summer Hydroponic cueys are starting to set fruit Panda & I training up the tomatoes

@CrutePhillip Well done ….very important

Grading oats alongside Brookton hwy. fella pulls up and takes a couple of photos. I wander over to have a chat. Bring him over to machine to explain what we are doing. Now he’s off having a ride in the header. City folk interested in what’s happening in agriculture.

@MattMcDonald013 Got mine from blue diamond Perth/Melb ..freight wasn’t too bad

Is there anywhere people know if that sell secondhand industrial screw compressors in South Australia???

@LinkBrokering Survived the oyster shucking then cuts finger slicing bacon 🤔🤪

Had a bit of a fuck up with a sharp knife the other day cutting up bacon for oyster kilpatricks I was making. Sliced through the nail. It was bloody sharp.

@Jschulz28 The whole Melbourne FC squad should book a session

@PicturesFoIder Health

@ChrisMoloney19 @ipaddockapps I was chatting with him the other day about this ……he doesn’t want to make any more 😂😂

@ipaddockapps We had similar issues with the same blue shoot Mic. Local welder whipped this one up for us. Attaches to the dolly with a couple R clips & works a treat. A few less headaches aswell.

This system needs a bit of fine tuning #blametheboss

After lots of blood , sweat and tears …..dreaming and believing we are stoked to have taken out bronze at the Australian Tourism Awards in Sydney 😎

@Christens2P The hat is for when you have to get down and pull snakes out of the stripper front thingos

@RedwingFarm Hat & umbrella,,,,,, seems excessive. lol

Flashback to grandpa (maybe 1970s), imagine the heat and dust 😬
