@Jusakstud Unfortunately ours occurred directly after a fill up, only to discover it at the next one

@earnshawjm One of my primary hoses came of here. we didn't notice it for 2 laps. Really should have just gone back over everything that day. Spreading barley, then some leftover dap. Then harrowing it

@Jusakstud Absolutely, we had the same problem and the culprit was a mummified mouse 🐭

@KaptinYap rogue one is the best star wars movie

They should go back to paying homage to other genres instead of paying homage to other Star Warses

@AngusJosie training has become an industry. Its not quite a rort but it ties up so much time in box ticking and process. The market has shown it doesn't care.

Just finished my Livestock Liason Officer training, that we needed to do to continue to operate. A great example of the bullshit continuing to be shovelled at us by our industry bodies. 150 acronyms in 4 hrs that supposedly makes you prepared for exotic animal disease incursion. Let's start with the internal bureacratic bullshit, it's pretty hard to call the Govt out when we keep inventing this stuff for ourselves.

Can you imagine the Teals trying to relate to a single person outside their absurd bubbles of privileged delusion? LOL, go for it gals.

@floyds63 The legend receiving some recognition. The most passionate and most caring volunteer you will ever meet. The bloke deserves a statue !

@CasFarmerCD @gsandral @RachelVCott Most of us will only run our business for 20-25 years. So if we only try 1 or 2 things each year we only try 50 ideas in our lifetime. The keys in my experience
small scale pilot
fits existing system
easy to extract from
suits your interest
Have tried lots and kept few.

@gsandral @RachelVCott Yep, it's just time and money.
We like to play with new things, but i don't think they often stick.
I've had some SWRT membrane the crew over there sent to me to try, I just haven't been able to put it in. All I need is some more time and money 😅. It should work wonders here

@brill_ag I also tried this but with my barley. Theory was at least in the vetch I wont kill any volunteer clovers.

@brill_ag I have been adding clover innoculant to my vetch past 4 years. Havnt noticed any change in my clover pastures yet.

15 kg vetch sown under Beckom wheat, aiming to prime the rhizobia before beans in next 2 years. Inoculated with vetch and bean rhizobia.

@pc602 @PiggottTash @Mistadamage The Esperance equaliser in full effect this year! (don't actually mind but ever since you first posted the phrase we seem to have had a cruisy run of harvests)

The Elderly Former Farmer thought to himself "27degs today, why not grab the Missus(That's Mrs Carmody to you! ) and the hound and go have a look at John's crop? Canola always looks best in the heat. " so that he duly did. His photos are in alphabetical order. B,C,W

I have been using the AI on my phone to get wool market results, valuations and estimates. Its actually quite cool. Massive thanks to @DysonJones_WA and @howiemerino for doing the hard work.

@ProfRayWills @TyTekAg @Mistadamage Thanks for the link ill have a better read. Our cropping uses roughly 10l/ha at planting/spraying/field prep. Not sure what everyone else's numbers are
Western Australia, Australia 🇦🇺 English
@Jusakstud @TyTekAg @Mistadamage Here's some better numbers from a human - tho' numbers on this stuff via AI useful, but tend to be polluted by old numbers which raise cost estimates of both solar and batteries

An electric farm, an electric harvest .... electric everything Farms need to be electric – because, once this kit is scaled appropriately, on-farm costs will be so much lower. reneweconomy.com.au/an-electric-fa… @renew_economy

The Fossil Fuel industry is experiencing what the Horse industry faced in the 1910's. Embrace the change or be left behind.

🚨 CHINA’S BATTERY WAR IS ACCELERATING INTO A COMPLETELY NEW PHASE. CATL and BYD just dominated China’s first-ever “Golden Lithium Awards” with major breakthroughs in: • solid-state batteries • sodium-ion batteries • dry-electrode manufacturing • next-generation EV energy systems Why this matters: The battery is becoming the new engine of civilization. Whoever controls battery technology may control: • electric vehicles • AI infrastructure • robotics • energy grids • military systems • future transportation Solid-state batteries are especially important because they could eventually deliver: • longer EV range • dramatically faster charging • lower fire risk • higher energy density • ultra-long battery lifespan Some reports now claim future Chinese solid-state EVs could exceed 1,200 km of range. If true, that would fundamentally reshape the global EV industry. The real story here isn’t just cars anymore. It’s the beginning of an energy-storage arms race. Follow for more future technology and energy breakthroughs.

@Mistadamage @ProfRayWills @TyTekAg That part i can see with multiple batteries. swap every 6 or 8 hours
Of course John Deere agco and cnh would all use the same connections.....

@Jusakstud @ProfRayWills @TyTekAg The show stopper for electrifying heavy farm machinery is the need to stop to recharge. That would require having more machinery to fill the gaps or reduced daily productivity.
English
@TyTekAg @ProfRayWills @Mistadamage The wind solar and a battery make much more sense to me. Need to see someone else ground truth it all first. Estimated cost from the AI 3.6- 7 million.

@Jusakstud @ProfRayWills @Mistadamage Battery warranty is 10-12 years, solar panel warranty is 25 years, does your new harvester stop working after it's 12 month/1000hr warranty?
2ha of panels is not bad, how much salt or unarable rocky ground do you have? Maybe put a windmill in there while you are at it?
English
@ProfRayWills @TyTekAg @Mistadamage We use roughly 2200l of diesel per day at seeding, more at harvest. According to the AI that would require 1-2 ha of panels. Plus the battery storage. Life cycle of panels is 15-20 years batteries 10. Unless we get swarm farming the numbers wont work.

@TyTekAg @Jusakstud @Mistadamage Cheapest way to generate electricity not nuclear
Cheapest way to generate electricity inarguably solar - that's simply real market data
Most reliable way to deliver electricity is with the support of batteries - the most reliable tech ever
And beats gas
