I don’t like the way China has bullied but Morrison cost our farm over $100,000 when the barley tariffs came on.
If the gov poked the dragon just for a poll bump... 😡

Old man goes into CBH.
He’s at the grid unloading when the RPO comes over:
‘Boss just radioed down from the sample hut to say tell that trucky to put on hi-viz’
Old man: ‘Tell him if he can see me from way up there what do I need hi-viz for?’

Huge amount of trucks to get to Perth during seeding. Shows how much this means

Great article. As a big-hat wearing farmer with a Ute that never gets washed (felt seen there) most of us understand National party = Miners party. I think the last federal Nats voting generation will be mostly gone soon

Can all growers please stop selling grain until the price goes back up $30/ton.
And then just give me 5 minutes notice before we all start selling again

I wonder if it should be mandatory for rural lifestyle blocks to at least have a water tank, 2” Honda firefighter pump and 100m of 1” or 1 1/4” hose. National ‘start your pump’ day to make sure they work.
See so many vids of ppl in shorts and a shirt with a garden hose. 😬

Everyone regrets the Holden V8 they sold back in the day. Are 60 series headers gunna be the same? I reckon.
For $40 grand it might as well sit in the shed for emergencies (like now). A useful collectors item.

What an absolute fucking idiot you are
@Josh4Freo
That 4 days processing is like saying you don’t need a new school in Freo cos they just built one in Melbourne
Makes me so angry when people are just wilfully ignorant like that
I support the positive transition from live sheep exports to a higher-value, higher-jobs, and more humane chilled and frozen boxed meat trade.
Annual live sheep exports from WA can be processed for sheep meat onshore in just 4 days. 👇

Posted few months back Invigour 4530P that looked 200kg pre rain budding like mad. Just went 2ton. I’d thought maybe 1.2ton. Absolutely phenomenal turnaround by this variety in this spot this year. Didn’t want a TT only got it as no other seed available

This canola looked like it was going to go maybe 100kg/Ha 2 weeks ago. Throwing a bud from every branch now. Be a great trial to see how flexible canola really is.

I’m sorry to all my farming followers but I’m not. This is what I’m mostly going to be tweeting about until we change trajectory or all the dead are dead.
This is tracking on target to kill so many Australians. We aren’t doing enough.
STOP GOING OUT! Lock ourselves down now!
From a GP. High staff anxiety ..... ceasing nursing home & house calls. Only the beginning. No strategy seems in the offering - only advice on guidelines & protocols. need the right resources now. Won’t happen! Italian scenario awaits.

Power back on at Eneabba. Couples bars on top of some hills.
Dad reckons at back of our place, he can see 20 poles snapped off on the transmission line that runs LA to TS. Maybe bit longer for power there then.
30-60mm, bit of tin off, some damp fert. We’re calling it a win.

About a year ago our little mate Ramen got run over
He was a menace and a maniac and we loved him
He’d disappear up the bush until 8:30 at night then come home so happy with himself
He drank by dunking his whole snout in water
Today I found his name tag in the dirt
Miss you mate

Always been worried about it now it’s happened. Eagle tried to take Ramen. Talon holes around his back end and neck. Dunno how he got out of it.
He’s pretty ferocious for a little yapper. I grab him by the scruff of the neck when we play fight cos that’s where an eagle would go

What if we, as an industry, take a summer off carting lime and instead cart grain to port for a month
Get payed good rates so the trucking is worth it anyway but the real value created by getting more shipping slots open and creating competition for our grain

As soon as I see the ‘beef uses 15,000l of water/kg’ argument I write the rest of the article off.
Like a windmill in a paddock in Carnamah would pump water out of your tap in your city if it wasn’t filling a trough
Which diet will help save our planet?
If everyone had a mainly plant-based diet with red & processed meat banned, it would save 5.5 billion tonnes of CO₂/year, decrease global mortality by 10% and prevent the slaughter of billions of innocent animals.
