This is a better picture for next week. 🙏

How do you like your wheat in the morning? Up a healthy A$21 post WASDE?

Aussie abattoirs have been churning through some big numbers of late A lot of this beef destined for 🇺🇸🥩 👉 abc.net.au/news/2026-05-0…

@tomhagan88 👍

Just for context, 38yo bloke carrying north of 110kg but in January I set myself a little challenge to do a 7 minute “Bronco” I’ve probably only had 5 or 6 proper cracks but got there today. As you can see I have a supporting wife, next stop Deardens 4:12 nrl record 😂

@MarySmi58886436 Hopefully its a start of more to come 🤞

Grand total of 5. Mm. Settled the dust.

@bluewolfpack1 That can’t not end well 👍

At level 6 - this won’t end well

@burgess_ag How’s the moisture profile?

Another Day in paradise #seeding2026 Expensive diesel smells no different, and expensive fert dust in the eyes feels no different, just burns the hip pocket worse.

The great barley rally continues 📈.. well in NSW/QLD at least. Delivered Downs barley is ~$430/t & the market is busy trying to calculate how close WA/SA supplies are to pricing a vessel to QLD. Southern markets are stronger on record export volumes & low grower selling.

@WheatWatcher @Episode3net Expectation or Average yield? NNSW is light years away from sowing which possibly is a blessing in disguise this year 🤷‍♂️

@DavidSandow1 Worth every cent no doubt 👍

We look after our team here.

@MarySmi58886436 We’ll be doing the same this weekend. Rain looks a fair way off but I’d love to be wrong.

Putting the mob back. Most of the calves weaned off. Hoping for some rain.

@stevross001 Better still 8mt/ha sorghum 👍

@stevross001 Go 4, you might get a wet finish/dry harvest 🤞

Should I tell the bank manager 3 or 4 t/ha for double cropped wheat behind the cotton ?

@shane_kable @victor_agri Agree no doubt challenging for those (which is many) servicing dept and life off farm but it’s hard to see a +ve gross margin on most dry land crops at the moment.

@SimMcD @victor_agri Not everyone can afford an enforced fallow, but when previously in agronomy do nothing was better than bugger up trying an opportunity crop in a marginal situation. All good if your stock can utilise failed cereals or legume. Have the advantage on winter or summer in my area.

Grim outlook for Australia
 Ensemble mean shows a soft rainfall season ahead Nine models converge to rainfall up 50mm below average Big trouble brewing for QLD and N-NSW -> starting with zero moisture Thanks Copernicus #oatt

I’ve had tougher mornings…..Bronte 👍

@shane_kable @victor_agri Was only thinking today this dry spell could be a blessing in disguise for winter croppers. Would be nice to get a bit of forage out of the ground though 🤞

@victor_agri No… it’s just an opportunity for a fallow while winter crop margins are tight and more summer crop when input prices normalise

Centennial Park Sydney on a magic autumn day 👍

Happy days 👍

@AlchemyofFinan1 @ShowerCapAM What a spot 👍

Noosa North Shore Ferry Today vs 2024 Not much appetite for 4WDing and camping at >$3/L?

@Jeremy_Morton_ @soupercocky What’s on for the weekend?

I've been watching the vehicles that are transporting thousands of people to our small community over Easter for the last 40kms & the vast majority have 1 or 2 people in them. Not much thinking or consideration going on. I hope they're prepared for an extended stay when there's no fuel left 🤪 This servo had no diesel yesterday.
