Update @APVMA Might be knock off time at your place bit we're still living the nightmare. Spent $100k baiting so far and we won't get to harvest this 400ha unless we reseed it. Might not rain for another fortnight so we've lost 6 weeks of growing season, damage immeasurable 😢

@AmberB_C 100% and I can't help but feel for the rural tourism operators, conditions were tricky before and this will only add to it.

@pc602 Cost of living & fuel prices

Over the last month I've had a few trips up to Perth/Duns/ Mandurah and over that period I've noticed a real drop off in traffic. The roadhouse at Lake Grace said that it's been really quiet. Today the road was like peak covid, In 700km we saw 2 caravans.

@pfox_manheim I think you're right, very hard doing business in hospo!

@pc602 Same in the East mate. I’ve been in TAS for a week where things seem quite normal, but back in VIC it’s been noticeable for the last month or so and now shops and cafes etc are really feeling it. No doubt we’re definitely in recession and have been for over 12 months.

Ben went back with the baiter. Be interesting to see this to me tomorrow night

Wishing all the Mums out there a happy day!

@KwMacdon @Jusakstud Wow! Lifting that lot and still smiling! Top effort.

Who’s up for a canola bag challenge.

@RoadknightThe It's a sad place that shouldn't be so. I had always wanted to go there and when I did was so upset by the reality of the drug and other abuse that abounded. The facilities that were provided and destroyed were sad to see.

When I was on Groote Eylandt, the school's headmaster took a boy home who had arrived with a machete. The boy then burned down the headmaster's house, with his wife and child inside who, fortunately, escaped. You need to experience the lawlessness of some of these places to appreciate it.

How this clown even dare go out in public is beyond me. You would think that a blunder of this magnitude would prune his public utterances and yet...

@SolickSeeds Is it late in the year for you guys to still be getting snow?

I see absolutely no reason to leave home today... Another day closer to seeding... So excited 😆

Remembering my Granddad's brother(a Catholic Priest) who served in PNG . Their two brothers perished in WW1 . The sacrifice and service of ordinary families should never be forgotten. g.co/gemini/share/7…

@Doctor_650 😱🤣 this is why I'm on Twitter X ! Once when farewelling a tractor off the farm after many years good service i discovered a hidden grease nipple ! The tractor probably only had about 6000hrs on the clock.🤫

Only owned about 20 Hiluxs that have done 5 million ks and just found out there’s a fuel filter on the back of the fuel pump. #toyota 🤷🏽‍♂️😝

@purplesteph9 Yes, right at the workshop. Very lucky that more damage wasn't sustained!

@pc602 Ouch, was that at John’s?

The EFF took a drive out to have a look at the damage that the guys copped in yesterday's storm. It's a novel way of storing the field bins but i wouldn't recommend it. There's lots of flattened trees too. And of course had to inspect the canola.

Burnt and sown to canola. 3 days later footage taken. Think the mice have a taste for canola seeds… 1kg of 25gai ain’t going to cut it here. Hoping it’s not a re seed...@APVMA @MouseAlert

@agrosmyth @APVMA @MouseAlert That's bluddy grim. We've had years like that and the 50 is what's needed.

@HoolyMcg Haha i think that's John's approach too. The insurance agent was out this morning and I think the process is underway.

@pc602 Personally. I would out source that job.

@HoolyMcg 😂 some assembly required, the Allen key comes separately.

@pc602 IKEA field bins ?

@DraffinChris Yes. No demand, no market.

@pc602 There's some real winners in this world. The people who buy dodgie shit off marketplace are equally guilty, they create the demand....

I've recently joined the Woodcutters and have to say that everyone was really peeved that this occurred over the weekend. Last year alone they raised$100,000 for the RFDS from the wood sales. It's disappointing to say the least.

@PiggottTash Mother Nature sure knows how to show us who's the boss!

@pc602 Haha. Yes. It was pretty full on. I just recall horizon power coming first a drive that arvo, to see what they needed to do & they were like “shit, did a bomb go off here?” Never seen anything like it

John had a tornado go through the sheds today. Quite spectacular by the sounds. facebook.com/share/r/1HpKLz…
