@TRethus congratulations on your crop survey win. What do you plan to spend your gift card on?

@johngbennett John, I just heard on the news that they have pulled the emergency services levy vote

@Prophetised Thanks Tim. It’s important.

This is articulated extremely well ⁦@johngbennett⁩. Take a listen. youtu.be/m1vrKqvZCaI

@brendanw59 This is super exciting. What happens with trash flow. How does it know if there is a blockage? Or does it?

Sorry about all the videos but I’m totally stoked about this tech possibly because I’m the worst tractor driver ever.

@WheatWatcher Irrelevant in my seat. Senate is where it is at and I don’t know.

The election will be on May 3rd. Who you voting for?

I remember also being quite taken with it and wanted relive it.

@agbyte_leet is this you at the 37minute mark? ia904509.us.archive.org/18/items/tripl…

@MadeStuchbery Mud. They roll in it.

@WheatWatcher Freedom to operate and social licence.

Unscientific Poll: The election is coming up. What is the most pressing issue for the agricultural industry in Australia?

@kentonp_ag @grdc @AndrewThomfarms Great data. You didn’t go early enough Kenton. Maybe end of march could have trumped 4 April.

Still in love with this data from 2024 @GRDC Canola Establishment. Grain yield declined by ~0.2t/ha (0r about 4-5%) per week that emergence was delayed after 4 April at Wynarka. The different water amounts or plant numbers established didn't matter - timing trumps density :)

@mattrohde8 @Telstra x.com/marionawfal/st…

@Telstra service horrendous since switching off 3g. It’s gone from ordinary to non-existent across the farm. What options do we have? Battle to send msgs, calls fail or drop out, unable to load apps, unless we find the nearest hill. We need a solution, this isn’t good enough. 🤔

@russtybloke68 Where are you Russ?

Very happy to get a holiday from the farm! The best bit is this is the First time in years that we have had the opportunity to holiday with our now twenty something kids. I feel so lucky at the moment. #loveyourkids

@Nel_farms @ReclaimAnglesea @AlboMP Diesel rebate

@ReclaimAnglesea @AlboMP What exactly are these fossil fuel subsides that continually get mentioned?

Getting rid of #fossilfuel subsidies would pay for universal childcare twice over. Just do it @AlboMP #auspol #abcnews

@ajackag13 @theGRDC @HanabethLuke @SCU_Australia That is the point of the project. Put some science behind some of the claims of regenerative ag and work towards creating a definition.

@theGRDC @HanabethLuke @Prophetised @SCU_Australia Which version? Regenerative is not just a word but a hyped form of agriculture that is basically glorified organics. Sustainable is a word that encompasses soil, management and viability, something that regenerative is not addressing.

🎙️ NEW PODCAST Join @HanabethLuke & @Prophetised talking about regenerative agriculture. What it means & indicators to measure progress towards improved soil health & farm resilience. 🎧 bit.ly/3KAX35V 🌟BONUS, do the survey bit.ly/3JQpe0g @SCU_Australia

@johngbennett You need to get on the cold brew John.

The bush version of a short black.

@kentonp_ag @theGRDC I with you Kenton.

Canola in ground pre-easter in the Mallee two years in a row 😀. In search of hot drying conditions to test the margins of canola establishment. @theGRDC
