@Johnpascoe10 Research is funded by government and big business, government is interested only in the vote of the stupid masses, and big business profits don’t come from sustainably managed livestock systems. Deaf ears!

This is very important! Most farmers know it,alot of scientists know it Melbourne Uni know it(they drive a lot of the reseach) but we cant get traction because of ? Probably it didn't fit into proceedings on the last day of some climate conference. So basic and frustrating

@RB_Citizen @peters_malcolm Biology 101, watch this mate! youtube.com/watch?v=BDXPA2…

@peters_malcolm But, how does that measure up with the methane the cows emit?

New data shows Cows may play an important role in renewing farm soil. Research by the Soil Association Exchange shows that farms with a mixture of arable crops and livestock have about 1/3 more carbon stored within their soil than those with only arable crops, thanks to manure.

Looks worst than live export to me

Hi I’m interested if anyone knows of who manufactures boomspray arms, our booms are a tad buggared and I’m looking at options other than a complete boomspray or ongoing repairing. It’s a croplands Pegasus.

@JamesMelville @Paul_Brown1 Thank god someone can explain it simply, it has to be simple for all the halfwits who are looking for the easy option to blame animal farmers for climate change!! Next time you chew on a chop and wear wool, enjoy!

@agpromanagement @meatlivestock Have you got Kraken in The trial?

And the battle begins! Titan barley vs Moby barley. Who will win the race and supply the most early feed? We are looking forward to taking the biomass and feedtest samples in the coming weeks. @meatlivestock Pasture Management Project

@Johnpascoe10 @agriprof Don’t forget the sheep run on country that might only get 1.8 tonne of barley, and that loses money, so a few sheep at $200/ha are still a worthwhile thing for many farms, and the potential upside for meat and wool going forward, as it can’t get a lot worse for stock.

Here's a sad fact on the merino game in west australia. For every $1m gross margin at $20/dse for sheep . 50,000 dse or 5000ha ($62m of land) or A cereal crop(4t x $325), $700/ha incl some dep'n 1428ha needed....($18m of land) Please smash these figures and discuss

@KimbarPark I remember back in the 80’s when we fist set a plan to increase lambing percentage it was the lamb and lost that we were told to get rid of, back in those days we gave drys a second chance but not lamb and lost, fertility increased quickly from that point on.

Sheep breeders: what are your thoughts on the repeatability of lambed and lost (ie. accuracy of selection), in maidens and older ewes? Helps weight up gains with culling against costs of carrying in a season where feed will be valuable. Interest in thoughts of others.

@paper_collar Won’t die I don’t think, seems to be growing again but I can’t believe how far t has gone, I reckon 600 m from target on places, inversion I guess

@Westendale2 Serradella looks like a sucker for it. Will it die do you think?

Overwatch drift I’m thinking, do we really need that crap! Rethink our rotation’s

@trisso_14 @calukafarms @SACOA Where do you drop the SE14 Tristan?

If you look long and hard you might be able to tell where we turned the SE-14 off! 😳 @SACOA #chalkandcheese#gamechanger

Looking for New Holland LM 740Telehandler expert, hydraulics are locking out due to something electronic, red light flashing on tip over monitor, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, not sure if it’s a bugered load cell on axle or a calibration problem, any ideas out ther

@kelly_gorter @StackaNewms Definitely only as good as what you put in. I use PAM. An old one, Does everything and more, got to be careful not to let it get too out of control with accuracy as with that comes complexity! Also I think they in the processs of a huge prog. change so possibly not good timing.

@StackaNewms I like the map/ visual apps. My Mob Tracker lists the paddocks but is a good basic one. Agriwebb seems popular from what I’ve heard but maybe a bit pricey? Whatever you go with, it’s only as good as the info you put in! Got to keep up to date with it

Ask Twitter: best app for tracking sheep info. Mob locations numbers treatments records ? Mobble maia agriwebb

@AndrewBouffler Makes sense. Thanks

@Westendale2 The other thing is best practice research suggests with trail feeding for best result work on 3 head per metre. The seven line with its 30cm spacing separates each ewe so they all get a equal ration

5 years ago I wouldn’t have dreamed to containment feed preg ewes with Lucern like this through the fence. Sleeping beautifully knowing I will have warm weather and plenty of FOO for a autumn lambing

@AndrewBouffler Good one. Thanks for that. Does the ringlock get a bit messed up over time, would you see any advantages in using a single wire at the bottom instead of heads going through the ringlock holes

@AndrewBouffler Interested in your troughing under the fence, do you like the design, any issues, have you got any other close up photos

@burgess_ag Surface Pro Sam, I got an older one that’s still good, latest ones great.

Any recommendations for a Tablet style PC that can replace my Laptop and Tablet? Will need to be able to run some of my windows based software, and external keyboard. I’m useless with IT office type stuff

@BradW00ldridge Better find more boots for your Lab, got many more to come, what happened last time we had easterlies for a month, flood?? green feed in March?? Good for south coast fish stocks and that’s about it

After 5 days and nights of relentless winds the 3yo lab cracked and destroyed her boss's boots. In the Mediterranean the sirocco drives people crazy after 4 days and criminal penalties are reduced. #notsorry #thewindmademedoit

@TrangieFarmer @Adspearce Hi Ben, How does the canola harvesting go with the stripper? I thought you could only do it on cereals.

@Adspearce Crimp rolling behind stripper, this was canola that was direct headed with stripper

All the guys using stripper fronts, are you cutting and baling straw behind or what’s the reason? And how on earth are you sowing through the stubbles next season?
