Question. Who would be the best finance company to deal with to buy another property 2800 acres. Banks will lend me millions to buy machinery but not to expand my farming land. Any other young farmers had similar issues?

Very successful meeting #Mullaley against proposed #CSG developments on #LiverpoolPlains #Santos #NoSocialLicence

Can anyone help Sharon out? #agchatoz

No mice in my header cab….

A rarity to find black peat soil in the Esperance region, unfortunately only represents 0.8% of the paddock. Reminds me of the FAR trial site at Millicent Nick Poole

You’re not looking at leaves on a tree… Every year huge flocks of budgies head to waterholes in the red centre to drink, feed and breed. The event is quite a sight/sound 🦜 ​ 📸 Charles Davis Photography last week near Alice Springs via ABC Landline bit.ly/ABCMyPhoto

This is the result of a bunch of legends working together to pull off something extraordinary!! Those happy (exhausted) faces! Thank you so much to the whole Riverine Plains team. We dreamed, we hustled and we delivered a phenomenal event #rpexpo22 #dreambig #workhard #hustle

Calling all people in rural Australia, are you having trouble getting staff? If so, what types of staff are you looking for? White or blue collar? Do you have insights as to why it’s hard to get staff? Accommodation, salary, culture, skills? #jobssummit #agchatoz #ruralaustralia

I’m considering putting concrete in our Bud Box. Good or bad idea?

Cotton is a biodegradable fibre that will break down quickly, versus synthetics which are polluting waterways at alarming rates and never break down 🤔 amp.theguardian.com/environment/20…

*opens Twitter for the first time since June* Yep. Everyone is still angry out there. To be positive - thanks Royal Flying Doctor Service (Queensland Section) for your help last week. Miss 7 had a nasty horse fall and compound fractures. Queensland Health - your nurses in Chinchilla are amazing but drastically understaffed

Big shout out to the Australian Airforce, True North Helicopters and the SES for helping keep supplies up to our farm staff & local communities while we are cut off #NSWFloods

This week: - All but two shops flooded in Molong - Eugowra destroyed - Bathurst biggest flood in 25 years - Cowra first 14-metre flood in 70 years - Houses flooded in normally dry Parkes - Forbes set to break records - Condobolin already has This is catastrophic (1/2)

I don’t really like it when I have to use the medical chest but super relieved to have on hand. @RFDSCO_EGMMRS Royal Flying Doctor Service #StationLife

Happy to announce I'll be on Conversations tomorrow, Friday 23rd June, chatting with Sally Sara about how a non-farmy kid from little old Eneabba ending up writing books in tractors.

In my mind there are 2 key parts to building resilience, there is independence and interdependence. Farmers have been and have needed to hone their independence over generations. Next phase is interdependence, for this to happen successfully it will take long term commitment 1/

Many rural communities are interdependent, though that is being undermined by reduced populations. If Govts are serious about resilience then a long term commitment 2 rural health, education and infrastructure would be a good start. Many urban areas need to build independence 2/

Why can't the sheep industry move to an eating quality grading system & ditch lamb/hogget/mutton terminology? Understanding QA/logistics challenges with unit size & volume, but surely it's solvable. Current tech doesn't seem to be there yet. #ausag #agchatoz
