@soupercocky People in my current industry bring the rice and cotton water usage up in conversation but don't expect the onslaught I give. I slap them with almond water usage, also the difference between seasonal vs permanent plantings.

I'm not arguing for fracking, but it seems hypocritical of the cotton industry - cotton is one of the most environmentally destructive crops grown in the Murray-Darling basin, responsible for endless land clearing and seemingly limitless water extraction - to campaign against gas

@NickRonfeldt If Santa and his Ho Ho Ho is on strike. I'd lean towards the good ole Diquat/Paraquat mix. High water rate and at worst it'll make them brown, at best they'll die🤷 <Disclaimer, any advice given is general in nature and professional advice should be seeked prior to use 😉>

Anyone got a good brew to use out of a shielded sprayer on roads/bankless channel to control fleabane around cotton. Had 2 applications diuron +stomp one early in year and before planting, suppressed but there back #agtwitter #cotton #asktwitter #dontsay24D

After 9 months waiting on Sitro group Australia to send warranty parts for my Oklahoma Joe pellet grill, they turned up a week ago just in time for a Christmas cookup. I'm about as exited as unpacking the very first time

This harvest is starting to remind me of a ex girlfriend, looked amazing at the beginning I liked taking pics to show my friends but every simple task was made extremely difficult my wallet was empty and by the end I’d developed and nervous twitch and mental health was shot

@cottonfarmgirl I've only measured 25mm so far this week. Seen some good storms go around. I know we'll get a storm sooner or later

First paddock of #cotton 606 coming through. Planted before the last 50mm on that farm. About 70% up so far.

@cottonfarmgirl Starting to look like Central Qld is catching up to the La Nina. We've had a whole lot less than that in Dysart though

Don't get me wrong, I think full electric vehicles have their places like as forklifts in coolrooms, but to even contemplate mandating EV's for rural, regional and remote areas is terrible.

I'm trialing what it'd be like owning an EV. The alternator died so I gotta plan ahead where I can stop to charge the battery to get the ute home. So far I can say, yes it works, but far far less convenient and enjoyable having to stop to charge

@roseycatherine I haven't helped in this, though I left Ag 15yrs ago due to drought, lack of future and prospects in a city. Now in mining and many people I work with are from a Ag background. Mainstream media constantly saying Ag is underpaid or part paid in produce compound the problem

Something I thought was so cool when it first came out, but decided there was more practical things to spend money on. Absolutely surprised when the family bought me this for my birthday. #liebherr #9800 #LEGO

The biggest threat to Australian Agriculture is our failure to secure base load power Governments will dial up hydro during winter to cover up their electricity supply mistakes And when there is limited water available for irrigation they'll just blame old mate Climate Change

Only thing more remarkable than DOJ not leaking the list is that no one in the media cares. Doesn’t that seem odd?
