@HoraceSmith1945 @JamesPreuss @steve_noa @samanthawan @HoraceSmith1945 Your reply indicates I have not been clear. Breed labor to zero max benefit $150 per ha. Breeding for production gains $500+ per ha. The choice is simple if your farm is a business.

@BlacketPeter Short term weather forecasting is some agtec that seems to be advancing too slow. Is there an opportunity to privatise this?

@HoraceSmith1945 @JamesPreuss @steve_noa @samanthawan For our sheep flock labour costs are 10-15 % of gross income. If we could breed our way to sheep that run themselves maximum benefit limited to 15% but if we double income with breeding oportunity far greater.

@deves_katherine @Kon__K @PeterDutton_MP Worst thing is for the poor diversity appointee who has to live with knowing they did not get there based on ability. Not fair on them.

@JamesPreuss @steve_noa @samanthawan We have 11 years of wool CFW and FD trends both genetic and production in per ha terms of our commercial flock. Initially we trended down at 1/4 micron p.a. which is 2.5% extra wool price at 10% micron premium. We have also increased wool cut over period in genetic terms only.
