Fair bit of stubble going up around me today
Not sure if the reason though
N or snails?

Tennis tournament in Donald meant a detour to Birchip for Australia’s best Vanilla slice - one for all the aficionados in the family!

Tough gig in the horti space with this result 😢

Sunday Crop walk results: For most the rain is awesome, spare a thought for those it isn’t Visited spud pivots today for a couple customers, most have so far survived significant rainfall, a couple not so much. This pivot had no irrigation for the last week, even on the last 35 degree day trying to make room for rain, should it come this weekend. Yesterday: 80mm Today: 10mm so far Losses likely in the order of 1,800t Photo from the part of the pivot NOT under water 🤞🤞

In our region, the rule-of-thumb for when to plant grain crops is "after ANZAC Day". The operation of planting completely erases anything in the paddock.
So I figured, if it will be visible until at least ANZAC Day, let's combine the two?
To the greatest place. Happy Australia Day. 🇦🇺

Interesting flight pattern here - maybe into the NY celebrations early!

@CorbinSchuster Was driving around the area Monday watching balers going flat out and thinking the same thing yesterday morning with to rain! Cruel game farming!
English
10% of hay has been baled.
90% still sitting in rows in the paddock.
48mm of rain in the past 36hrs, more forecast for Saturday.
Current mood?

@WheatWatcher Interestingly, was speaking with another guy who was going to import a second hand JD 250hp to AUS from NZ. Even after costs he expects to save about $70k, plus it’s done about 2000 hours less
English
Question for the shopping farmers
If you are looking to buy second hand equipment for the farm - where would you be looking?

@harrimar1 You should have volunteered to drive for a few hours!

It’s 10.00pm at night !
Immediately outside our Airbnb near Portglenone, Northern Ireland 🍀🌱🚜

@harrimar1 @PenolaStation Gee whiz, there’s one for every day of the week and then some! Thanks for tagging @PenolaStation 🙈

@Tom_Rymill Bit brisk say least guess no rain go with it either like abit of that in WA tbh

@JamieNicolaou There were some dripper lines but not used obviously. I think once they get up and away they survive on their own.
Bit sad to see as they were often planted by migrants who moved and started market gardening there

That dry on the Northern Adelaide Plains for the last 2 years that even the olive groves have turned up their toes 🫒
English
@SimonCotter62 Yes, I’ve never seen that before. Last year was extremely dry and this year isn’t any better so it’s taken a toll on them!
English
@SimonCotter62 Did see a review about this suggesting they’ve fixed turbo issues on 2025 plate vehicles. Hopefully that’s the case, I think this looks a pretty decent option especially straight from the factory
English
Ford need to proove reliability eg stop turbo leaks and electronic fuck ups. Remember this is basically the range rover 3.0 litre de tuned and ad blu’ed
English
With the new ford ranger super duty coming on board in 2026 i bet the f150 will be a thing of the past. Personally id love it to be built here, to be reliable and a great alternative to landcruiser 70
English
@JamieNicolaou Ours was similar and hadn’t claimed in almost 10 years!

How’s everyone’s insurance premiums this year? 18% increase here…🤦🏻♂️
