Agricultural Economist, my opinions are my own not those of my employer.

@Tedthekelpie @farmercate2 Yeah I had @ProAGtive run some workshops last couple years, and definitely ways of working through it, especially if there is time. The other thing is being clear on goal, ie some tax may be better than no tax to achieve outcomes now.

My @CaseIHAus 8250 "Chrome" has clocked up 5 years.
Done 15,097 ha. 57,703 tonnes. 2,417 hours.
R&M is $56.27/hr. Insurance is $55.85/hr.
Interested to know what others have done/costs in the same period. #agriculture

@HoolyMcg As much as it sucks thats pricing from a week ago. Your best bet is to take a look at the singapore gasoil 10ppm sulfur per barrel price.

Yesterday it was $350/barrel, / by 159L/barrel is $2.20/L diesel, then need to add 52c levy + 10% GST = $2.99/L, before shipping to aus

This is a test of tracking vessels coming to Australia. It is based on the load port, shipping stem information, and a whole bunch of logical rules.

It doesn't yet cover all ports. Share to support this work and further development, and subscribe to https://t.co/2I1XpeHUyx

@WheatWatcher Spoke to a fuel importer who paid diesel ex singapore ~$2.80 +9c/l shipping into Syd this week...

@dyerjonathan @dburner996 @GavinHooper70 Using some simplistic math, 1M t urea = 460k t of N, Fert N recovery rates 60-80% = 275 - 370k effective N, 40kg N per tonne of wheat = 6.8 - 9mt in forgone production

[Andrew Whitelaw @WheatWatcher]

The diesel crude spread in Australia is pretty concerning.

It's been disconnected for a while, but is running at a much higher spread just now

(This is the weekly average)

[Andrew Whitelaw @WheatWatcher]

The Australian origins for our imported urea.

The past five years:

31% Asia
69% Middle east

The longer the conflict goes on the bigger the impact. Plants are shut down, and it will take time to get them back on.

[Andrew Whitelaw @WheatWatcher]

This is a really good question from @GavinHooper70 . Unfortunatley the answer is not pleasant.

The avg imports in the first 3 months of the year is 425kmt. The avg program of imports over the past five years has been 3.27mmt.

So on averages - maybe 13% 😱

[James Hagan @Crashlah]

@ChaneyforCurtin Agree on the taxing un-realised gains, Disagree on the lack of indexation (it's fairly straightforward that they are trying to take advantage of bracket creep in super over the long term to fix structural tax problems). There will be political pressure to change thresholds later

Unbelievable , it has to be to seen to be believed . The Burdekin river in flood ,the bridge at Home Hill is over 1100metres long to give you some idea of how much water

Two examples we saw yesterday of combining track renovation with another operation were towing a stubble crunch roller behind a Kline renovator or this little gem of @ipaddockapps the air cart track & seeder combo helps repacks & level the tramline. #CTF #trackrenovation

Challenge

First farmer/farmer group to send 1k images of a weed in-crop, I'll annotate for free, upload to WeedAI and use to train a public, benchmark model for the OWL.

Rough requirements:
1. about 1 - 5 weeds per image
2. top down (examples below)
3. decent quality/consistent

[James Hagan @Crashlah]

@Glenn_SoilAgro Cummins, Hazlewood, Starc, Lyon... Same as they are now except now 1 is captain.

[James Hagan @Crashlah]

Know it's not a unique take, but can only think that Bancroft's omission has more to do with him implicating the bowlers in #sandpapergate than batting ability.

[James Hagan @Crashlah]

@dyerjonathan Assuming you are set on having a hardwired connection, fibre is your best option, a couple of media converters and a pre-terminated cable and you should be good to go (barring the digging and cable pulling through conduit)

[Agrista @Agrista_au]

The harsh reality facing lamb producers. Very few producing lamb under $4/kg cwt. Has the industry been fixated on the things that create a margin when the going gets tough? Doesn't seem like it. At least these growers know their CoP. Price includes ewe lamb transfers.

[Jonathan Dyer @dyerjonathan]

Working on a farm that you love, but the boss insists you work with animals once a week or so? Don't put up with that!

Have we got a job for you......
