@Mon4Kooyong Seriously. Not content with paying your salary, you now want off road fuel users, farmers, fishers and miners, to pay for your roads. Just move to the Greens and stop pretending to be balanced.

@GribbleRC @CaseIHAus Rod what would you think is the average increased capacity in cereals compared to an 82 or 92?
Presuming crop and front are not limiting and is the grain loss off the sieves or rotor?

[Darryl Harper @HardheadHarper]

@AgriFocused They’re good bins Carmen. Well made. Good steering system.

[Darryl Harper @HardheadHarper]

@farmingfitz @markt8040 @GribbleRC Exactly the same situation here. Trees that have been removed with approval are yellow, category 2, on the map.

@AlanKohler @abcnews Alan you didn’t address fact that 3 million dollar limit is not indexed and applies to unrealised capital gains.

[Darryl Harper @HardheadHarper]

@AgriFocused @JamiePursehouse @gsandral @GrainGrowersLtd @GrainProducerSA That’s the best suggestion.
Using Xero, I’m going to code sales without the deduction differently and put the variety in the ref column.

[Darryl Harper @HardheadHarper]

@WheatWatcher Accurate long term weather forecasts. Imagine knowing the likely GSR at or before planting.

@robbert115 Robert the reality is if paraquat/diquat is banned gly resistance ARG will develop very quickly and your question will no longer be hypothetical. Unfortunately cultivation would have to come back in the mix.

[Darryl Harper @HardheadHarper]

@NationalFarmers @Warraboy At least the APVMA has clarified it, but really shouldn’t it be the ABC that posts the correction?

[Darryl Harper @HardheadHarper]

Good old Italians. Calling it how it is.

[Darryl Harper @HardheadHarper]

@mdfowler100 @abclandline Excellent response.

[Darryl Harper @HardheadHarper]

When you run out of trucks…

@95_Beaver Fantastic mate

[Darryl Harper @HardheadHarper]

@dogs_livestock @Howelly_Agro Swallow plague in sheds here. Any ideas appreciated.

[Darryl Harper @HardheadHarper]

@peter3DWagga @agrobaz @gsandral @GRDCNorth @far_australia Care to guess how much water those soils can store and to what depth Baz? I work on 125mm down to 1.5m but it’s the biggest unknown in these years.

@tony_swan64 @summitagconsult @CSIRO @theGRDC @AgroJAK @chinbokfarming Patches in ours dead too Tony. Powdery Mildew?

@ipaddockapps Day trip to Fraser Island

[Darryl Harper @HardheadHarper]

@ipaddockapps We found exceeding .5% AMS gave problems but below that was no issue if AMS Is put in first and Amine last.
