We are heading to the Eyre Peninsula pH mapping early December. Get in touch if you’re interested in having some done. We will be back again early in 2025 for those that are still having a crack with harvest.

Finally got harvesting mid afternoon yesterday after 6.5 day rain delay. Missed the storms last night but cool & gloomy again this morning. Week after week of dry sunny weather all year for driest season on record & now we've been stopped 50% of harvest with high moisture 🤦‍♂️

"The cost of renewables" Pretty scary stuff!!! youtu.be/WfEUZotRyLI?si… -7 times the spatial footprint of Tasmania covered in glass & steel by 2060 - 21,000 turbines needed @ $25 mil each, ($1/2 tril) of capital costs just for turbines. $1.5 tril to meet 2030 targets 1 of 2 ....

#askX I've lost the use of the 3 gauges in my John Deere 8300. They all have power & earth & can make them work individually if put power to them. Auto electrician says must be a common plug somewhere from the senders but I can't find anything. Anyone else have any clues?

Had a few people ask if we could take the spray bar off our Onyx sprayer and build a module that attaches to the Rover, particularly for summer weed control. We've designed the toolbar to be modular so you can swap in different tools like this.

I really hate click bait partisan releases but this is pathetic. Kill a farmers business and spend millions on advertising it.

Day 1 #plant25 dry seeding faba beans. 6mm over Easter settled the dust & doubled our rainfall for the year. Boomspray hasn't been in this paddock since 3rd of Sept '24, fair to say its bloody dry 🙏

Can't cycle residue without moisture. 2022 wheat stubble, was beans in '23 & canola in '24. Very pleased to have the cover though. Had some visitors a month ago & over coffee they asked why our farm was a grey colour when everything else is various shades of brown #residue

In terms of what can be done now, or what could have been done in the last few months. Ultimately, farms nowadays are quite large businesses - high turnover, high costs and in a drought as severe and widespread as this current one...there's nothing that could have been done to
