@LambproHolbrook Remake Yellowstone and Dutton ranch with a sheep ranch. Making sheep all exotic and romantic.

Spoke to a group of 45 Year 11 Ag students last week. Asked the question ‘when you leave school how many plan to work on a beef operation (up north)’ 25 said yes. How many are going jackerooing or onto a sheep place, no one put their hand up. What’s the answer to change this ?

@percytonfarmer Having an inverter Mig welder helps with the Size of the generator needed too.

I want to buy a generator that will run a 180amp Mig welder. Any brands, shops, price points I should consider. Tia

@sean_zimm @Thomo_Grant You could also add different oval shape and sizes along with some teams playing lots of dry weather games under a roof.

@Thomo_Grant A compromised draw. Part time officials. A draft this is always compromised. It’s a brilliantly ran sport!

Look, seriously at the end of the day it’s just a Mickey Mouse competition…..a national pastime. It’s not that important. The real objective is funding a dozen AFL execs a million bucks a year. Only sport in the world that best performers are outstripped by execs administering game for annual salary’s. Can’t be taken too seriously. 🙄

@LambproHolbrook We need the shoulder have the the rags to riches story that the beef brisket has seen in the new popularity of Texan BBQ in Australia.

Great to see Lamb Rumps becoming trendy again in top end restaurants. Just need the forequarter to become as sexy.

@LambproHolbrook That’s good to know that they consume the high margin cuts too.

@bjbatman Plenty - the chinese bred lamb was surprisingly good

Protein for Hot Pots comes in every form. This dish is beef fat served at a top restaurant. Clearly evident the value of a China license for processing plants.

@cropmad I heard a story the other day, one big manufacturer in Aus, said, we’ll easily go net zero. Well just move operations overseas.

😳😂

There are 3,457 active Starlink satellites at this moment.

@freshy1973 @Meat_Watcher Your buying buying might be the driver of the change in direction of the EYCI!

@Meat_Watcher It can hold off for another couple of months….. I’m still stocking up with as many young cattle as I can find agistment for!

This is it ⁦⁦@freshy1973⁩ the start of the climb higher….

@matt_glennen If you’re worried about prussic acid, add high sulphur lick blocks when grazing.

Had a very staggered germ on our sorghum. Plan was to graze but didn’t happen due to the Prussic acid risk. Will be taking as silage but unsure if too take now or let seed set occur. Any experience would be appreciated.

@WheatWatcher The information you had might as well make it a horror film for canola growers.

I didn’t know they allowed horror films to be shown at lunchtime on a sunday.

@LambproHolbrook @CreightonAg Does that mean you have been also?

@CreightonAg You as well?

@pbl1972 @glatzblack @severnangus @CorriganLucinda @AdamCoffeyNT @mrjengland @JeisaneAccioly @Agrivetbusiness @KennedyCreek1 @JessShilling2 Look into Vitamin A supplement for preventative measures.

Do any beef producers out there vaccinate for pinkeye? If so, what are your experiences? @glatzblack @severnangus @CorriganLucinda @AdamCoffeyNT @mrjengland @JeisaneAccioly @Agrivetbusiness @KennedyCreek1 @JessShilling2

pornhub was just acquired by private equity firm Ethical Capital Partners. you can't make this shit up

@johngbennett @KirstenDiprose What that statistic collected on 50/50 split of tertiary educated and non tertiary educated?

@KirstenDiprose They say, 90% of statistics are made up on the spot but Rural directions did a project for GRDC on the habits of the top 20% of grain farmers in 2017. It showed 80% of the top 20% had no tertiary education. I do agree that people with a degree seem more polished and articulate.

🤔firming up a belief that the best people in Ag tend to have an Ag science degree. They don’t always stay in that field, but wherever they go… they’re stars. They get it - whether that’s on farm, in industry or research. Shout out to the Ag science peeps!! #AgTwitter

@brianjcorr1 Is that the only type of urea you use?

80kg/ha of protected urea for the crops. Hopefully 20mm of rain on the way🤞

@Meat_Watcher @ValuablOfficial You might make friends with a salad this summer.

@bjbatman @ValuablOfficial No famine here. Got about 3 times that amount out from about a 1 square mtr patch. And there’s about 8 more sqr meters to harvest. twitter.com/meat_watcher/s…

A global potato shortage has hurt chip lovers' wallets. The price of frozen potato products, including fries, increased by a third last year. And with no end in sight, this potato shortage might turn potato famine.

@timmort_ It’s hard to fault AI after reading that list.

ChatGPT does a surprisingly good job of coming up with a good farming philosophy:

At age 25, you give your hedge fund manager $100K to manage, and he produces an annual return of 8%. Assuming a 1.5% management and 20% performance fee, by the time you retire at 65, you will have $764K. But the manager will have $1.24M (at zero initial investment!)
