@LauraineJacobs @grantrobertson1 @jacindaardern Again, the climate is still not best suited to grow lettuce over winter. What limited ones are grown will be expensive. That prime soil @ Auckland would be far better suited to grow crops appropriate to the climate not the consumer. Lettuce meals should wait for the summer.

@gingerjohn68 @Graiseconsult1 I’m not keen on OAd. Can’t afford the drop. We were still doin 1.44 on May 1 after 3in2 till November then 10/7 for rest of season. Did record per cow, great incalf and great CS. Cows get used to it. I tell people their first investment should be a mirror 😂
