Not suss at all ……

@OnTheLevelCast @SulloReport @HenryWi86212968 @TrackingFires @spectatorindex That comment is insane

@SulloReport @HenryWi86212968 @TrackingFires @spectatorindex You guys are completely insane to give up all your guns. They will rule over you with an iron fist

BREAKING: Australia's PM Albanese says he won't rule out gun reform following Bondi Beach attack

@FarmerTonyWhite I had a similar issue with my D-Max while under warranty. Insurance wouldn’t cover as it was a know manufacturers fault, Isuzu wouldn’t cover as 2 inch lift put on when I bought it. Dm me if you want to know more

One is a cruiser. Never had a major problem yet. The other is an isuzu , done 100k kms Put it on tilttray last tues with a suspected cv failure. Still nothing worked on at dealership monday this week. Think i will run my business the same. U can all Wait Awhile

@timmort_ Think you’re right. I wonder if capital growth of livestock farms might become stagnant for a bit? Due to profitability, especially over ROAM. As you pointed out in your other reply. Why would you borrow money at 5-7%, to make 1-2%? 🤷🏻‍♂️

@jsmort2 Not sure Jocko. Capitalise on some capital growth? Try sell while price outlook for livestock is pretty good?

Macquarie attempting to sell the entire Paraway Business. Interesting timing 🍿. As someone who works for a smaller livestock corporate of sorts. I always saw Paraway as the first livestock corporate. A lot to learn from their model I think.

Anybody got any good investing/managing economics podcasts they listen to? I’ve been listening to Dave Ramsay, I know he’s American but like the talkback aspect and real life scenarios that get discussed etc. Something similar but Aussie would be great!

@hasselljpb @Optus @Telstra 2852. Gulgong NSW

Put your postcode in here if you think that phone coverage is worse with the closure of 3G @Optus @Telstra 6308 and all along the Brookton Highway.

@AgriFocused Negatives outweigh the positives imo. Less competition in rural merchandise etc. Bigger companies seem to have more admin costs etc that outweigh any benefit in purchasing power etc. Will be interesting to see if ACCC allow

Elders set to acquire Delta. Thoughts?

@AMC_DirtDollars @FarmTableAU 50 mm for the week here Charlie. Great top up. Having a great spring here, very lucky.

23mm so far for the week at Canowindra NSW. Where else has it fallen? Seems relatively general in NSW at least. Hope it’s hitting the areas where needed #whosgottherain #rain #ausag #agchatoz

@agronomybrady Great idea! What weigh range did you go for?

A little win for the year. $6.50 spring balancer for vaccinating guns.

@LFelmingham Cheers Luke

@jsmort2 $60 per engine hr You could price check against Gaffy’s tractor hire or another hire business.

Just looking for advice: Looking at dry hiring my loader tractor out over the next few months. 140 HP Case. Would it be on a HP basis per hour? Any one had any experience in doing so? Thanks

@MattMcDonald013 Thanks Matt

@jsmort2 Hired a 360 hp Fendt Last harvest $150/hr plus GST min 30 hours per week.

@RichieQuigley Thanks Quigs

@jsmort2 300hp front wheel assist tractors were $120 an hour ish Jocko to dry hire (+-$20). With minimum hour requirements of 80 hrs a month or something. Maybe half or 2/3 the above? Treat it like a hire car - photos/damage report before it goes.

@andyg00d @hasselljpb Yes NZ is planning on reinstating live export. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/li…”%20were%20developed.

@hasselljpb How many farmers live export? How did NZ live exporters transition?They built processors/found new markets/value added. Like any modern business they adapted! Aussie food security does not depend on live export, it depends on modern innovative business, resilient to meet change

#keepthesheep board right in amongst it

@coyle_tim @KerinPollMerino @baileyagco Tim what do you think the possible reasons those good livestock operators have gone to cropping? More profit? Less workload? Less market volatility?

@KerinPollMerino @baileyagco It sticks out down here in the Riverina as well, some of those that still run stock are just the ‘couldn’t be bothered doing anything types’ & have nil pasture base, the ones that used to push their pasture & treat them like crops have mostly gone cropping

" YOU CAN'T STARVE PROFIT INTO A BUSINESS” Has the fixation on cutting input costs 💰 in the high rainfall grazing zones of Australia actually cut the head off the goose that laid the golden egg? IT NOW SEEMS TO BE A RACE TO THE BOTTOM 🤷‍♂️ INPUT COSTS 20 ha paddock planted 14/4/24 Lime $148 ha Fertilizer $180 ha Chemical $125 ha Pasture seed $210 ha Contract rates $180 ha Total input costs $843 ha or $341 acre =$16860:00 TURNOVER *288 heifers have grazed the 20 ha pdk 3 times for total of 24 days @ an Average daily gain 1.9 kg per head = 13132 kilos of weight gain @ $3:75 kg = $49248:00 divided by 20 ha = $2462:00 ha or $996:00 acre Return on investment in 5 months = 292% Cut the fat out of your business not the muscle 💪 Grass Rough maths let me know your thoughts 🤷‍♂️ #kerinpollmerino #lambex24 #forflockssake #nextgenagri #optiweigh #MLA #AWI #bestwoolbestlamb #sheepvention #merinowa #merinosa #merinovic #merinonsw #southwestslopesfielddays #prowaylivestockequipment #Droverag #wagyuaustralia #angusbeef #wagyubeef #beef24 #mla #awi #ranchingforprofit #RCS

@CKMonty My great uncle was a navigator in a Lancaster that was shot down over France in WWII. Was rescued and hid by the French Resistance. Amazing story!

Amazing there are only 2 left flying. My father in law and his brother used to ride the bikes to Tocumwal where there were lines of Lancaster's waiting to be scrapped. They searched the insides for live amo left behind and then hid in Lancaster's when security chased them.

@MartyConroy_9 Looks good Marty. What’s in the mix?

Tropical grasses over sown with temperate grass, clover & herb blend 🌾🌱☘️ This stand of mainly Digit now has opportunity for good counter season production. This particular soil type doesn’t hold water very well, so very useful in capturing and utilising effective rainfall 🌧️

Thanks everyone. Some good points and things to think about

Looking for some advice on share farming: putting in an application for a lease block, 1/3 can be farmed. How does share farming typically work? Would like to sow some crops for grazing, was thinking of doing a deal with a nearby cropper. 1/2

@GusWhyte Thanks Gus. Good food for thought!

@jsmort2 Not too much to ask, just need to find a farmer that you have good communication with, that you can work out cost/profit share that suits. We respect property ownership with 25% share of crop and machinery ownership with full contract rates. 50:50 on all costs
