@eyres_N @AmberB_C @ipaddockapps Some do, most don’t. The additional noncash benefits from lupins, or any legumes, have always been well understood but dificult to value due to may vagaries. On my somewhat longer time on this planet, their value has decreased markedly over time. 2026/27 that may be different.

@ipaddockapps This is a really interesting discussion mic
I think there is plenty of evidence for legume profitability - the lack of pic up maybe indicates the widespread cashflow limitations. From my short time on this planet I think people drastically confuse profit and cash flow
English

Interesting that the N uncertainty isn't driving increased legume plantings.
Shows how bad legumes are for profitability in many farms?

@farmersgrowit @andrewdunx @agromons @AmberB_C Not sure I want to see gov regulation intervening tbh.

@andrewdunx @robertgrima2 @agromons @AmberB_C Definitely, and some wholesale indicator pricing, similar to fuel.

@hirschirsch @AmberB_C Last few days seeing a lot of Fuel trucks driving on regional roads late at night, I tip my hat to these fuel truck drivers working through the backlog

@farmersgrowit @AmberB_C Up to 30% cuts to MAP products starting to happen in sth east WA, unsure about other areas- feels like much more to unfold.
English

@andrewdunx I totally agree the values have peaked, until the next rise which hopefully is a little time away. The depth of buyer isn’t there. But the dips in price you have seen have not been to the same magnitude as original tweet I am sure. Maybe-10% off peak? Any comment?

@robertgrima2 If you look over the past 40 years I’ve seen 3/4 dips in broadacre values- Mid / late 80s ( interest rates ) Late 80,s - end of wool reserve , Early 90,s - Low grain prices , GFC . 🤷♂️- Never say never !

@cosfarming @Tedthekelpie I don’t think that’s the ports position. Yes storms close it but there is more to it than that
English

@Tedthekelpie @robertgrima2 Port gets closed when big swell comes in. CBH put all the blame on that. I'd like to know how many days that cost in January to be nearly 300,000t behind Albany.

@cosfarming The issue has certainly escalated for Gero port zone growers.

@hirschirsch Wow that is a little frightening for everyone. I hope everyone is safe and coping with that stress. A big fuel load everywhere this year.
