@AlboMP @JEChalmers Chris Bowen, just got back into Griffith after attending the Riverina Field Days, which by the way was attended by @PaulineHansonOz which was great to see her out supporting us, no other party representatives were in attendance to see what was happening in the real world… Go to the local BP to fuel up & they are out of Diesel. You guys are seriously going out of your way to destroy small businesses. My business is agricultural based. We have service vehicles that run on diesel. We need to be able to travel up to 200km to our farmers to service them on farm. We are about to go into rice harvest, sowing & cotton harvest. How the hell am I supposed to run a business if we can’t service our customers. Throw in the extremely high price of fert, high chem prices, low water allocations & high price of temp water, increasing interest rates, low commodity prices & until yesterday the absence of significant rainfall we are struggling to survive. Our customers confidence is underwhelming & it is affecting their decision making when it comes to updating equipment, which we need to be selling to survive. 2024 most of area was hit hard with frost, 2025 the majority of our area had less than 1/2 our yearly rainfall so we are in a real predicament, farmers & businesses cash flow are at real lows. You guys still expect me to pay my PAYG & BAS on time no matter the stresses that our businesses are going through. We need leadership. We need action. We need people to invest back in our country, we have the raw materials & people to do it, we can produce almost everything we need to be self sustainable. We need people who understand what’s going on in the real world of the people who produce the food & fibre we ALL need. What are you going to do about it??….. @D_LittleproudMP @AngusTaylorMP @TheTodayShow #bloodyuseless

@brodenholland @gsandral What guidance sensitivity settings have you got mate? I’m struggling not to get an over reaction of curves and corners even if they’re gradual

Autopath boundaries is bloody awesome, Software 25.3 and 25.4 in john Deere gen 4 or 5 has a new autopath module and it have changed the game. So easy to setup and so bloody good to use especially when you have boundaries mapped properly. Loving it

@pattohallam75 That’s a good idea. Doesn’t do much if the line has fallen off the cross arm though

@samjsleigh94 We just finished a program of wrapping some reflective tape around the ones on our farms. Too many night hours these days!

Nice little heart rate boost at 5am

@Jeremy_Morton_ Much the same with spraying, focus isn’t really at 5m height. It grab your focus pretty quickly when you see the line slowly getting lower in the window as you’re driving next to it.

Much more exciting when you make contact... Had a stay wire let go a few years ago & the line was low enough to contact the top of the header. Cooked the UHF & the resulting arc between the front & ground started a fire. Look up & live but not really where your focus is when harvesting.

@summitagconsult Stomp?

Guess what herbicides going out? Pre emergent herbicide application prior to rainfall. Pre emergent herbicide application helps manage resistance and reduce reliance on in crop herbicides.

Any else confused about this nonsense from @Telstra? Rather than spend millions on these useless ads that don’t even advertise your company, rather your incompetence - spend money on providing reception around Australia. It’s infuriating

It’s true, duct tape fixes everything.

@coyle_tim I understand, would’ve thought 1000kg would be more suitable.

@samjsleigh94 Filled by weight, never going to be accurate with those floppy sides

1000L 🤥🤥

This is what 8ha of harvest remaining and a rain delay look like #palletchallenge

@arnold_kelton Could do with some hungry boards mate. She’s still got another 15 tonne in her

@samjsleigh94 3070 inter truckin for the nation

No dramas keeping it away now the old girl is on the job #heavyhaulage

@progressiveagri The dianne gravy at the Coloney is the best dianne in NSW, hands down!

If you’re down Jerilderie way, please stop in to the Colony Inn for these delicious lamb cutlets.

@MAWovertime Nor can we like the price on replacement part, Murray.

@samjsleigh94 Can’t “like” that.

A very lucky save. Thankfully not on a public holiday. Popcorn planting should resume tomorrow

@Oscarthefarmer Is the bottom slide one whole piece, Or in sections? If sectioned, detach the sections put and auger until that bit a pull the slide a bit. Auger it out

#harvest2023 continues... #asktwitter Anyone got thoughts on a jammed horizontal auger on motherbins? I let the small detritus build up last night and its now locked, most likely have 60t of shovel work ahead (unless someone has a bright idea?!)

@Mullin_95 50 hours, crop change or maintenance

When do you blow your combines off ?

@pearse_kyle @CharlesHazelton This was the brew

@samjsleigh94 @CharlesHazelton What rate?

Who has used propyzamide post on canola? 4 weeks post clethodim/tenet and ryegrass powering on. Suspect frost the day after application hasn’t helped. 😤 Apparently it’s risky, but so is ryegrass left in canola. 🤷🏻‍♂️
