@bartjevandeven @fdymondagronomy What's make up of species in the mix?

[Ben Maile @MaileBen]

@HefinR Clockwise but dictated the farm/building layout, I’ve seen plenty of anti clockwise and the direction doesn’t seem to make any difference.

@samueltowen Pay rates are generally too low in the dairy industry for the unsociable hours, people just don’t want to do it, I run a 5 on 2 off roster and $30/hour and still struggle to find people at times, Even manager rates are well over $120k around here thanks to the corporates!

@brianjcorr1 Just add 1% water dripping into the augur after the crusher, cheap, effective and the cows eat slightly quicker

Many years ago I had a girlfriend dump me because she just couldn’t see herself living up in the “boondocks of northern Saskatchewan”.

Who’s laughing now Karen.

Who’s. Laughing. Now.

I spent 15 minutes mentally debating the pros and cons of strangling this guy.

@BenDooley8 Potentially, would be cut at pre-cobbing stage though so wouldn't be as hard on gear and still have good nutritional value in stems and leaves

Has anybody on here ever tried or know of anybody who has ever tried round baling #maize/#corn? And I don’t mean with one of those fancy balers for pre-chopped #maize/#corn

@giles_bristol @GillwallyO @dsquibbPGWS Under the Pivot irrigation, I think they're roughly around 4x as water-efficient as pasture, and planted with 300kg/ha DAP with boron and then top dressed with Urea @ 80kg/ha twice.

@giles_bristol @dsquibbPGWS Sowed 1st October, will start grazing late December, hoping to get 19ton/ha like last season

Macdon FD1 owners. Wasn’t going to post this but another fire started yesterday by an FD1 at 150hrs. Same cause as our fire. Bearing opposite hyd motor on centre belt. It’s time @MacDon addressed the problem rather than suggesting our local dealer is the only one with problem.
