@john_macgowan Safer than Libs seats but have a look at the trends over the last few elections - it’s been awful

This stuff is hilarious. The 5 safest seats on the Coalition side of the pendulum are all held by Nationals. Of the Nationals 8 MPs, all are on margins over 9.5%. They clearly appeal to women in their own seats. Barnaby Joyce is on 17.9%! "Women" has become a lazy short hand for strategists with no clue as to what's going on.

@JakeWolki I’ve seen these debates up close and it’s incredible what people will call ‘prime agricultural land’. I understand farmers don’t want to live next door to industrial facilities. That’s a totally valid argument against renewable developments, not the BS from some advocates.

A friend of mine made an interesting comment the other day, "We are upset that 'productive farmland' is being paved over for solar and wind. Can we really call producing 1 cow per hectare per year productive?"

A large dumping of rain and strong winds swept across NSW over the weekend, leaving widespread damage. This video from Yenda, NSW, exhibits some of the destruction caused by the weather.

You know those pens that you have no idea how they came into your possession, but stick around for ages? This is that pen. Thanks AJ & CS Milne Butchers Hillston and apologies to the person from whom it was stolen.

@progressiveagri @MartinMurray_Ag @Oscarthefarmer @JustMeVictoria_ @aksnowden @samanthawan @ChatGPTapp @white @WheatWatcher @Meat_Watcher I'm not sure about any of it. What's that box thing on the right?

@Jeremy_Morton_ @MartinMurray_Ag @Oscarthefarmer @JustMeVictoria_ @aksnowden @samanthawan @ChatGPTapp @white @WheatWatcher @Meat_Watcher Ummm not sure about that rice layout

@MartinMurray_Ag @Oscarthefarmer @JustMeVictoria_ @aksnowden @samanthawan @ChatGPTapp @white @WheatWatcher @Meat_Watcher Not sure who this young bloke is 😂😂😂

@WheatWatcher He’s right about seed oils. They should be confined to lubricating machinery. A metabolic disaster.

Let’s see how this goes

@CKMonty Is it being grown for fibre or seed?

Hemp field day today. Pre irrigated crop sown in September, almost ready for its first irrigation.

@frogfarmer1 Or anyone can just experiment with both and find out. Having done that myself, beating arthritic pain, asthma, becoming lean, etc I’m pretty confident that being told to eat carbs instead of saturated fats isn’t great health advice.

@progressiveagri So I watched both… Both claim the higher moral ground. Both also claim to be right. One has a definite ideological vegan/climate change agenda underlying. One has a less significant business agenda. Only only can be right, or at least mostly right 😉 #fatfiction

*watch’s Netflix. “You are what you eat. A twin experiment” As a farmer interested in food/supply chains/consumerism/health First episode great, the hook… Thereafter, a vegan ideological climate change propaganda piece Elon Musk is Correct on AI truth seeking

@progressiveagri Checked out the trailers…is there a doco elsewhere ? Croppers will be fine, we’ll just keep changing jockeys 😉

Anyone who runs dorpers/ shedders willing to share what twice a year lambing looks like as a management timeline? Or key learning to do it successfully? #askx #ausag

I’m a big believer there’s no such thing as good luck just a combination of preparation and opportunity. But frost takes the cake this year for bad luck. Swales stem frosted halfway through grainfill. Spaded dunes untouched. Thanks to @OsterCharlie for mowing it down

Frost really starting to show its effects in all crops here now. Tomorrow’s field day has some of the most experienced agronomists on this topic area in attendance. Well worth attending to help make rational decisions with current crops
