@katherine_deves @AlboMP He is holding the hose in this crisis at least

Why is @AlboMP partying at Mardi Gras while Chinese warships travel around Australia? Auspol2025

@cooch87 Back in business 👍

Same spot

Sown 20may 140mm YTD Bit of catching up to do.

Two months in the ground and we eventually have life

Bit of 45y93 going in

@cooch87 We might have to the way it’s going

@SamShie73 When are you putting the grain dryer in? Go halves?

Why is it that the moisture limit for wheat in Victoria is 12.5 and in other states you can deliver with a higher moisture content?

@astewart75611 It’s been frustrating. With a bit of luck we will beat the next front on the weekend

@SamShie73 Hell it must be a wet harvest mate do you have much to go ?

@astewart75611 We are in feed wheat and it is still 12.5

@SamShie73 12.5% in wa Sam unless it’s feed than 13-13.5%

@cooch87 Bugga. 12% here now

@SamShie73 14.5 today

Wheat tested 15.6% moisture at 3pm today. Might get going by Tuesday 🤦‍♂️. Certainly been a challenging harvest.

@holmes_damien Yes, nothing like the sound of unforecast rain on the roof at 6 in the morning during harvest 🤦‍♂️

We are so lucky to have a climate change app developed by the BOM to make sure we can remain resilient into the future. Rain today is only about 12 hours earlier than predicted. Within the margin of error for one day outlook I guess. My fault for not shutting silo lids.

What is it with merinos? Why won’t they move up the road and go though gates? I think I would of had the XBs in the yard and drafted by now 🤦‍♂️

Ready when you are El Niño

@mattrohde8 @Agworld I like the old back paddock platform

@Agworld spent all afternoon trying to enter harvest records. It records farm average wheat prices on ALL paddocks. Can’t work out how to enter individual $/t for individual paddocks.🙅‍♂️😡 Has anyone found a better platform for paddock records?

12months on, it’s still a time-consuming proxy backwards step “upgrade”.

@MattMcDonald013 Burn, disk, level then a shit ton of gypsum

#asktwitter Anyone with any advice on turning Long Term Pasture country into cropping? Best method of attack? work the guts out of it? what to sow as a first crop? any thoughts/experience appreciated 🤘🏻

@timmort_ Can’t wait until they breed the bloody wool off them. The cost,time and effort around shearing and crutching time dose my head in. And we only have a few of them. Would have more if we didn’t have to shear

100%. The cost to shear a composite ewe (~$8-10) is still easily offset by superior genetics when it comes to repro and growth of their offspring IMO. May change with lots of effort going into breeding and selection of shedding sheep.

@Nick67126028 Looks good, good luck 👍

Well let see if these get the job done! Imported them myself 👌👌

Safest option for a croppy is the 35

Vetch Timok left popany right Should have coughed up the coin for the poppany 🤦‍♂️

We have been been caught with a “wet drought” on some new country. Looking forward to dipping the toe into raised bed cropping next year. 🤞
