@barnoolut @stationmum101 @BOM_au They need a few more exspurts in there 🤪🤪

With all the money spent on them how can @BOM_au be so fking wrong with their forecasts even 24hr out. 20-40mm they said. Lucky to have 3. Useless as tits on a bull.

The pressure is on when you have a crowd wanting to run with you

Now this is leader

Is glyphosate a dangerously high toxic agricultural chemical. In his 2017 study “Long-term trends in the intensity and relative toxicity of herbicide use,” Andrew Kniss analyzed herbicide usage and associated toxicities over a 25-year period. The study found that Glyphosate, in particular, accounted for a significant portion of herbicide applications—26% in maize, 43% in soybean, and 45% in cotton. However, due to its relatively low chronic toxicity, glyphosate contributed minimally to the chronic toxicity hazard in these crops: 0.1% in maize, 0.3% in soybean, and 3.5% in cotton. The 2017 study provides a comprehensive analysis of the toxicity of herbicides used in U.S. agriculture over a 25-year period. since the introduction of GM crops in the mid 1990s. The study specifically ranks glyphosate’s toxicity relative to other herbicides and finds that it is one of the least toxic herbicides available. Key Findings and Statistics: 1.Acute Toxicity Ranking: •Glyphosate was found to have lower acute toxicity to humans than 94% of all herbicides analyzed in the study. •It was also less acutely toxic than many common household substances, including vinegar and table salt. 2.Chronic Toxicity Ranking: •Glyphosate exhibited lower chronic toxicity than 90% of all herbicides, making it one of the safest options for long-term exposure. 3.Usage vs. Toxicity Contribution: •While glyphosate accounted for a significant percentage of herbicide use (26% in maize, 43% in soybean, and 45% in cotton), it contributed minimally to chronic toxicity hazards: •0.1% of chronic toxicity risk in maize •0.3% in soybean •3.5% in cotton 4.Comparison to Organic and Alternative Herbicides: •Many organic pesticides (such as acetic acid, copper-based fungicides, and rotenone) exhibit significantly higher acute and chronic toxicity compared to glyphosate. •Some natural pesticides, including botanical insecticides, have lower LD₅₀ (lethal dose) values, meaning they are more toxic than glyphosate when considering their effects on human health and non-human animals.

at least if you sack yourself should still have your personal details

green grass how we long for some of that down south

@agvocate_au @HamishCumming

Why were the maws of two big basalt stone fireplaces built facing eachother a lamb width apart ? Darlington, Victoria.

@BradMillsteed you can't beat a bit of social intercourse

Had a couple of chance interactions today that's reminded me (at a much needed time personally) of the importance of the #6Bs and staying connected It's amazing what is achieved when you take the time to connect with yourself and those around you It's about connection ✌️💞🫂

Don’t think I’d be steering this one around a rock heap with my knees while rolling a durry ……

might need some tommy sauce @HamishCumming

So special that Sam Konstas got to have his baggy green presented by Tubby Taylor, the voice of diving!

The fires in victoria are a direct result of the increased global temperatures due to Trumps victory…..

@l_polkinghorne thank you for helping us poor Victorians

I have just paid Daniel Andrew’s land tax. This is best practice drive investors away from rental properties. Kick the tenant out and sell the property. It is a mongrel tax serving those who stand to benefit from the rental malaise.

got a surprise visitor this afternoon. might keep some other visitors away . Copper Head , fortunately didn't disturb the dogs

@Bowenchris spinning and shedding at the same time over our family farm

@LilyDAmbrosioMP @JacintaAllanMP you will need your hard hats on tomorrow when come down to the Golden Plains WEF

just as well you've got your hard hats on @LilyDAmbrosioMP @JacintaAllanMP Jacinta Ermacora watch out for the flying debris coming of the turbine blades

@theweeklytimes Liberal , Labour , what's the difference they both seem hell bent on destroying our landscapes with this industrial junk.

📍 A Victorian Coalition Government would ban turbines within 2kms of homes and reinstate third-party appeal rights, if elected in 2026. See the details >>> bit.ly/3NkGDzG

@HamishCumming at least you didn't have these raining on you

Was doing some fencing and saw this coming across the paddock. Had to hide in the ute for 15 minutes as 8mm rain fell

This sums it up pretty well 🧐
