@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

Can we blame the mice...

Seven clocks are running. None of them negotiable. All of them counting down to the same weeks. The planting clock. Mid-April is the biological deadline for corn and soybean planting across the US Midwest. Every day that passes without nitrogen becoming affordable and available narrows the window for corn. USDA projects corn falling to 94 million acres from 98.8 million. Soybeans rising to 85 million from 81.2 million. The seeds that go into the ground in the next three weeks determine America’s grain harvest in October. The decision is irreversible. The USDA clock. March 31. Prospective Plantings. The report that converts farmer intentions into official data. Every acreage number, every corn-soy ratio, every nitrogen-dependent calculation becomes a published fact that traders, governments, and food agencies will use to model global supply for the next twelve months. The number arrives in twelve days. The FAO clock. April 3. The Food Price Index. The first global reading that captures post-Hormuz commodity prices across cereals, vegetable oils, dairy, meat, and sugar. The 2022 peak was 159.7 in March 2022 after Ukraine. This reading will incorporate oil above $100, urea at $610, LNG halted, packaging repriced, and freight surcharges of $500 to $1,500 per container. The number that determines whether the UN declares a food emergency arrives in fifteen days. The pharmaceutical clock. India’s API inventory buffers are two to three months, measured from the war’s onset on February 28. Late May is the depletion window. Methanol at 87.7 percent Hormuz exposure feeds the solvent chain for paracetamol, ibuprofen, metformin, and antibiotics. Once buffers deplete, the shortage becomes a patient access crisis for the 47 percent of US generics that originate in India. The China crude clock. FGE NexantECA confirmed China is drawing commercial reserves at up to one million barrels per day. The draw sustains refinery operations for four to six weeks from March 19. Mid-April to late April is the exhaustion window. After that, China faces three options: accelerate Russian pipeline imports, reroute at massive premium, or crack open the strategic petroleum reserve. The third option reprices every commodity on the planet. The helium clock. SK Hynix and Samsung hold two to three months of helium inventory. Late May to early June is the depletion window. South Korea imports 64.7 percent of its helium from Qatar. Ras Laffan is offline. If helium buffers deplete before alternative supply arrives, semiconductor fabrication faces rationing. The AI hardware supply chain hits a physical wall measured in months, not quarters. The insurance clock. Solvency II requires 30 to 60 days of zero incidents before P&I clubs can reinstate war risk coverage. Even after a ceasefire, the insurance normalisation takes six to sixteen months based on the Red Sea precedent of 26 months and counting. The logistics system lags the financial relief rally by the longest duration of any clock in this crisis. Seven clocks. The shortest expires in twelve days. The longest runs for over a year. The planting window, the USDA report, the FAO index, the drug buffers, the Chinese crude draw, the helium inventory, and the insurance cycle are all counting down simultaneously. None of them pause for diplomacy. None of them respond to presidential directives. None of them read sealed packets. The calendar is the only actor in this war that has never lost a negotiation. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

🔥 BREAKING 🔥 Australia’s Food Supply at RISK. Australia's food supply chain is at risk with suppliers unable to deliver diesel to farmers across the country after being cut off by major fuel wholesalers. Darling Downs grain and cattle producer Layton Free said suppliers initially moved to a quota system before cancelling deliveries altogether on Friday after Brisbane terminals suddenly stopped allowing reloads. Labor said this wouldn’t happen. STOP relying on the Government & MSM for information ❌

Holy ________ (insert your own expletive) I just updated our urea delivered Australia pricing model. As expected it has gone through the roof, and the reality is that it could have more to go.

@Jusakstud You did an awesome job Pete 👍🍺

Has been a long week of this. Cannot believe how amazing volunteer fire-fighters from other regions have been. Just in the part of the fire I was pretending to control we had 10 vehicles from Perth, 7 from the Greater Albany region, 6 from wheatbelt. Stuffed without them.

@cffarms7kel Beautiful photo

So beautiful #northernlights

So apparently, Kaleb Cooper from Clarksons Farm is coming to Australia next year...if he needs any on-farm accommodation whilst travelling through Southern Aus @JeremyClarkson @PrimeVideo, we've got some silos for him to stay in! Never know, worth a shot 🤣

@agwithemma How are the yields?

China’s canola tariffs show how Ottawa’s choices can cripple Canadian agriculture. Canola is almost ready for harvest. Our costs are all in. Profit margin is now likely gone. We need the government of Canada to step up with a solution. thelifeofafarmer.com/2025/08/13/pol…

North Dakota sunsets are my favorite

This is why a banned the wife from using Roundup, even the clothes line is dying 😂

Always awesome getting to see results in the paddock clearly! What are we seeing? Slow down when speeding canola! Photos from a grower running their own seed and speed rate trial in Cadoux, WA. #farming #agriculture #seeding #trials

No farmer, no food Australia! An absolute fuckn DISGRACE and HEARTBREAKING!! All by design to get the Farmer off the land Labor government have so much blood on their hands....they could open their own blood bank!! "Seventeen. That’s how many farmers have taken their lives since this new tax levy was announced. Let that sink in. Not 17 people in a decade. Seventeen, in days. You don’t get to call that “unfortunate.” You don’t get to call that “unintended consequences.” You did that. You introduced a tax that will financially cripple rural communities… The same communities already stretched thin from drought, debt, and devastation. You hit the people who grow our food. Who take time off work, scarifice time with their families & stop working their own farms everytime their pager goes off To show up for fires, for floods, for accidents. Volunteers. Fathers. Mothers. Sons. You hit them while they were already down. And now they’re gone. Because of another fkn levy. Because the state decided they were worth less than an F1 upgrade and free tram rides. This isn’t policy. This is blood on your hands. Seventeen dead. And the worst part? You’re still pretending it’s justified. — We’re not"

Some of this will be difficult to watch…

One the look out for anther staff member please repost

@MrsJusak @GusWhyte

@GusWhyte Good luck. We are still in barley.

Wheat by the moonlight, we will start harvesting this over the weekend, bit more oats to harvest first.
