@HoolyMcg@AJGrovefarming Every site is open on Sunday in Esperance and Albany zone unless it’s raining so swamping is never a problem why not open every site and leave up to the grower to harvest or not on weekends
@mark_mudie@AJGrovefarming Well. If piawanning,Konno,Goomalling ect are closed Sunday. And Calingiri isn’t. We get swamped and locals get fk all in Shortening our season due to a “fill and close” situation
@mark_mudie@AJGrovefarming We chose to close Sundays. As we get swamped from outside and it’s counterintuitive for us. We get full of outside grain and then have to cart further
@ipaddockapps@BOM_au Why try to change something that was working great
Change for the sake of change. Big waste of money I have now moved to other apps
This time last year, CAN1 prices looked looked almost the same - then jumped in late Oct.
Volatility hit hard, with swings of up to $80/t through harvest!
Will we see a repeat this season? 👀

@RositaDaz48 How’s this
I’m rural WA we read our own power meters (4 meters 30 kms apart ) every 2 months report on line and pay,then once a year they ask for a photo to prove it’s right then send someone to check the meter afterwards to check again
To the grocery stores and retail chains obsessed with self-checkout:
We see what you’re doing.
Yesterday, I walked into one of your stores.
I picked out my groceries.
I scanned them.
I bagged them.
I paid for them.
And then?
You stopped me to check my receipt.
Hold on a second—
I did the shopping.
I did the scanning.
I did the bagging.
I even paid—without help.
And now I’m treated like a suspect?
That’s not convenience.
That’s unpaid labour… with a side of distrust.
Here’s the truth:
If customers are doing the work of cashiers, treat us with the same trust and respect you’d give an employee. Or better yet—hire real people again.
Because this isn’t just about “faster checkout.”
It’s about cutting jobs, saving money, and shifting the workload to customers—without pay, without perks, not even a simple “thank you.”
What happened to the student who needed that cashier job?
The single parent making ends meet?
The retiree who enjoyed staying active?
Where are they now?
If I’m doing the job, where’s my pay packet?
My discount?
My lunch break?
You can’t have it both ways.
We are customers—not free labour.
We are not your cashiers.
We are not your security.
Respect your workers.
Respect your customers.
👉🏽 Bring back real service.
Wheat Powdery Mildew Alert - Spreading South!
WPM spotted in Scepter wheat near Borden just 2 days ago. Lower Great Southern growers: time to scout your crops and act fast. Early detection = better management. #WAAg@Stirlings2Coast@DPIRDbroadacre@GRDCWest@theGRDC
@stationmum101 10 yrs ago I witnessed similar a woman being bashed in the mall she ran into woollies grabbed
something,while kneeling to open,the man was still beating her,thinking I should step in to help she jumped up and stabbed him in the chest with a knife maybe should be in stronger packs
Harvest 2024 is completed and assigned to the record books after all the rain, harvest bans and fires. Our biggest production year on a very dry spring and below average rainfall. Cereal yields were exceptional, canola and lupins above average. Quality surprisingly held up well.
@Jusakstud@MrsJusak I thought 30 years ago when the wool stock pile happened the farmers that got out would regret it But all that happened was they make more money while we waited for it to recover. I never seen anyone who gets out go back
Asking my twitter mates. Have any of you that quit sheep regretted it? Under a bit of pressure from @MrsJusak . I love producing wool and sheep meat. But more money and less stress sounds easy.
