Your obsession with what’s "natural" is holding you back.

We’ve fallen for the appeal to nature fallacy: the idea that natural is always better.

It’s costing us innovation, sustainability, and progress.

Here’s the story of the “natural” delusion 🧵: 1/

@sheepGeekCP Tough when you first look at it. But the bottom line is Dolly has not raised that lamb and I would treat her the same as any other ewe that has lambed and lost regardless of whether it was taken by foxes, dystocia or stolen by a pirate mother 🏴‍☠️.

@RuralFarmerSA @HuwGriffinRugby The bomb squad tactic is less about substitutions at the same time and more about having the depth and quality in the squad to bring on genuine world class to finish a game

@NickParnell_ @rugby_podcast Rennie picked almost exclusively older players. Eddie picked none of them and went with youth. Hopefully picking a balance with Joe will prove to be the answer.

Over 125 registered for the #GRDC Grenfell update. Fantastic to see growers and agronomists valuing these days. Could have a bit to do with 10mm overnight bringing the punters out…

Looking forward to this event in Orange in a few weeks. I will be talking on on-farm investment. Hope to see you there. https://t.co/DnNkrhBVXI

Thanks for all the reposts but still looking

Chasing agistment for 15-20 cows (spring calvers) for a few months if anyone can help out? Preferably within 100km of Forbes.

@1stFive8 @brumby_fan Yeah but he lost to Italy by picking a B grade when he couldn’t afford to. Not a sensible decision in hindsight.

@sheepGeekCP You don’t have any neighbours with Wagyu’s do you? I’ve heard they are fertile enough to get a merino pregnant!

[Rohan Leach @RohanLeach]

@propfarmer Looks great but any chance of sheep rubbing/ bumping causing collapse?

[Rohan Leach @RohanLeach]

@GrainOrana @theGRDC @GRDCNorth @gsandral @MaurieStreet Radioactive fert exposure - that explains a lot about @MaurieStreet, @bennyob and the Goa team!

@sheepGeekCP I have seen people cut the plastic to keep it attached and fold it out like an awning to keep rain out.

@GrainOrana @MaurieStreet @ruskinrowe @theGRDC @GRDCNorth @bennyob @gsandral @CaptainCanola Is it on apple or Spotify yet guys?

New long-term research: the benefit of no-till practices on water infiltration is large. Unlike tilled soil, where aggregates break down after the first rain or irrigation, no-till methods maintain soil structure and infiltration effectively.

Gilgandra site getting sown today

[Rohan Leach @RohanLeach]

Temperate pasture demonstration has been sown at Parkes. Have also got a lime demo in the same paddock looking an ameliorating subsoil acidity. Should be a cracker of a spring field day! Thanks @newellm_matt for such a tidy job.

[Rohan Leach @RohanLeach]

@sheepGeekCP Is it that wet at Tullamore you’re putting clogs on your sheep?

[🏜️ Farms Advice Podcast @FarmsAdvice]

I was left a little baffled by the decision of @MurrayWatt. Let’s make an impact and put our energy towards something of value.

Sign the petition & overturn the live export ban that has sheep & farming families lives in jeopardy not knowing the future
