Raising 3 kids and farming at Munglinup, Western Australia. Cattle, Cropping and a bit of Hay Contracting. Politically opinionated but not rude about it.

In light of fert pricing, I’ve thrown one of our best long term pastures to wolves. So far so good! #freeN

@digs_bee Nah ryegrass like that, you need cows.

[Matthew Bell @Matthewbell205]

First time using overwatch. That’s cool.

@brodenholland We had neon blue canola one year I’m sure. That was easy to spot. But yeh maroon sucks

@veeronicaena Grass doesn’t grow overnight.

[Matthew Bell @Matthewbell205]

Gee wizz it’s nice to have cows with calves at foot on green feed in early April.

[Matthew Bell @Matthewbell205]

26 lift off. Some could say blazing out the gate.

[Matthew Bell @Matthewbell205]

@RichtraceC @digs_bee We’ve got 7614, 7724S and 8737
Photo is 7724 pulling 6000L 30m boom.
8737 is pulling 12.2m hydraulic borgault bar and is doing it easy.
Love them all, standard Massey/ACGO electrical quirks, but they are good value and have been good to us.

Is fuel economy pics going to be the new ag trend his season?

[Matthew Bell @Matthewbell205]

Holy Toledo Batman!

[Matthew Bell @Matthewbell205]

@digs_bee Yeh. 4000hrs and only the odd electrical gremlin. Fuel saving almost covers the mechanic bills now.

[Matthew Bell @Matthewbell205]

@Jusakstud Side note, great to see Herefords!

[Matthew Bell @Matthewbell205]

@Jusakstud I’d bet the cow knows where it is. Late arvo and early morning best time to check. Middle of the day you’re wasting your time.

[Matthew Bell @Matthewbell205]

Tinfoil hat theory.
Govt is already rationing fuel by restricting flow from terminals and just not saying it. How good would it be if they came out and said, your not
going to get the fuel you need to plant, let alone maintain then harvest a crop. Save your inputs accordingly.

[Matthew Bell @Matthewbell205]

@WheatWatcher @HoolyMcg In his defence. Some truly are. The lack of general life understanding is staggering at times.

@hasselljpb Same here “we know what people buy every year at what time of year, just don’t ask for more than that - we’re keeping it fair”

[Matthew Bell @Matthewbell205]

@BidstrupJames Making caricatures of my cows. Der

[Matthew Bell @Matthewbell205]

Gee wizz there growing quick. Little miss off to kindy today 😭

@melrose6405 I studied at Curtin.
Can’t speak to Marcus sorry no experience with the place.
Heading home to run farm - Curtin
Heading down the R&D agronomy line - UWA
End of the day uni is an expensive way to network and develop you ability to question the norm and think laterally.
