@BlacketPeter 2mm Booleroo!! Old guys are saying worst day they have ever seen, one back to 1944!! Anytime now would be good!!💁‍♂️

How much rain WM likes to see totals. 7 to 8 mm for me, radar was angry around 3am was black in places up saddleworth burra area

@ZwarFarms We are pretty sure Canola was the only thing that got its roots into the stored moisture. Rest died before it got wet enough to grow deeper.

@JPCarey12 Yeh ok, that's interesting. All the best for the new year JP

2024 Driest year since 1914, severe frosts in Sept. Crop performance 1- canola (on legume stubble) 2- beans (into stripper straw) 3- wheat 4- canola hay (frosted) 5- barley 6- lentils (driest block) Ground cover was king, fortunate to get what we did. Bring on 2025 🤞

@BlacketPeter Bout 15-35mm around Booleroo!! At least it wont bugger up any good crops!!!🤣🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Holey moley that’s intense around Quorn hope everyone is ok

Alas storm chasing and farming don’t mix. A few guys will be out there

@JKBreezyHillAg Got to laugh or u would cry!!🤣🤣🥴😬

@JPCarey12 Check us out with our lol’s today! Someone gotta keep office morale up hey 🤣

Just wondering if anyone has fitted a foam marker on the header so family can see whats harvested when coming for a ride??? Presume only a South Aussie 2024 problem. Hopefully not required next year!🤣

@scootersfarm @lukeforestview Hadn’t thought of that. Get the old mad rabbit out!!!🤣🤣👍

@JPCarey12 When @lukeforestview was over the coast he saw a guy with an old combine Tyne welded to the end of the front

@Albs315 Yp light and upper north light must be a bit different I am thinking!!!🤔 Looks good.👍🤣

Corflute Macdon FD75 Reel finger mod doing a good job with light lentil crops this year

@agbyte_leet If ours was a heart rate monitor I think we are in trouble Leet!🤣🥴

Afew soil moisture probe graphs explain the current state of play in SA. 1. Stacked graph, wheat roots active at 90cm, Paskeville. 2. Summed graph, same site with previous 2 yrs in Mid & Top panel, close to hitting the 'Driest Ever' bottom. 3. Stacked graph, only had infiltration to 20cm for the entire year, wheat really going backwards in the Mid & Upper North. 4. 10cm Ave week soil Temp, bottom panel this year, top panel same time last yr. 2°C warmer this yr!

@CorbinSchuster Looks good. Unfortunately ours has only gone backwards. We live in hope though!!👍

@JPCarey12 Update

Didn’t think we would be in this position again so soon!!! That wet spring can rock up anytime now!!! Canola sown 15th April 65mm GSR YTD.🥴

@percytonfarmer It actually went 1.8t/ha started raining and didn’t stop. Be surprised if it happens again!!💁‍♂️

@JPCarey12 How did it turn out in ‘22?

@nullaboo48 Spencer Gulf containers in Port Pirie used to have lots of choices. Got mine from there and very happy. Best to look at them in person if possible.

Best spot to buy a shipping container? Looked at a few on Facebook none look legit. One was based in broken hil Victoria 🤦🏽‍♂️

@nullaboo48 Got this on ours. Not cheap but work great.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a decent hose reel for this size air hose. TIA

@stockjournal Upper North fast becoming well below average. I feel a rain will help quality perhaps but the quantity went out the window weeks ago!!!💁‍♂️

POLL 🗣️ | Estimates have South Australia’s upcoming harvest coming in at slightly above our 5-year average, but a dry finish could test that. What are you expecting in your patch? stockjournal.com.au/story/8369051/…

@OrrockFarm @Telstra Pretty sure we never got more than “1g” after CDMA out this way!!🤣😜 5482 east!!!🤔

Question for @Telstra since we now spend most of the time on 3G with no data. 4g seems to have disappeared. We used to have good 4g. What happens when you turn off 3g. We pay for something we can’t use. We used to have better service on cdma. We run boosters in Everything.

@lukeforestview @agbyte_leet @scootersfarm @Jaxon__Clark Should toughen the plants up early to help later on!!!😜🥴

@agbyte_leet @scootersfarm @Jaxon__Clark I think we should be getting some sort of reward for this Leet, that’s a May PB!

@HoolyMcg @gimmeahandle My wife would head off to footy no worries on that and not see a problem!!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I’ll make it. Hey @gimmeahandle

@Matt_EADennis No sorry just away for a couple of days but will PM u if I remember when I go past them next.

@JPCarey12 Shit hot JP that’s what im trying to achieve with ours so we can put them back on and use auger still. Any photos of yours?

Anyone cut the bottom hopper off upright Sharmans to get a tube under them?
