@IamFarmerRenee @cropmad @NationalFarmers Proposed forced acquisition without consultation is not the way to go. This is not $400/acre grazing land. I'm all for progress but there are better/other, albeit maybe more expensive options. NIMBYISM argument is lazy

[Scott Norton @ScottWNorton]

@IamFarmerRenee @cropmad @NationalFarmers Maybe. But with land worth upwards of $15-$20k an acre, pivots that will become obsolete etc etc. Maybe don't be so judgemental if you know nothing about it. It's not affecting us, but I know people who it is affecting. There are other options on the table, but (1)

@agronomybrady Ignore dirty water🥺. (Killer paddock, so not used now)
2 troughs either side of a fence. Drilled hole thru wall. Tek screwed plastic onto frame. Used poly tank flange with rubber washers each side & sikaflex. Tighten nuts up each side. 3rd pic is older style ball valve.👍

@MYPrecisionAg @uncletomtom592 🤔

[Nicolle Flint @NicolleFlint]

Devastating for farmers. @AustralianLabor & @MurrayWatt you’ve done this to Aussie ag… you deserve the massive $ shock coming for your federal budget bottom line. Farmers, & hard-working Aussies, by comparison, do not deserve what you’ve done to them & continue to do.

[Scott Norton @ScottWNorton]

@HoolyMcg Yep same but thought it might be more visual & easier being on the phone?🤷‍♂️

[Scott Norton @ScottWNorton]

Is anyone using a thermal camera app for checking bearings, etc, in headers & balers & machinery?

[Scott Norton @ScottWNorton]

@paradooprime @stationmum101 @180 @T90Program Agree with you on scanning %.Any ideas on how to reduce number of triplets. 🙃 We consistently get above 20% (up to 30%) of ewes with >3. That's 4-600 ewes. Coopworth composites. Hard work!

@costa0070 @RobertCawood2 Hate this cop-out comment. Until you're a parent experiencing a situation like this by 1 of your 2 kids brought up exactly the same, with vastly different outcomes, you will continue to believe your comment is correct

@uncletomtom592 @1000waystod1e He'd be Marcus' problem in about 2 minutes

@JustinH26786511 Same issues here!

😂😂 The Geography of a Woman as she ages:

Between 18 and 22, a woman is like Africa .
Half discovered, half wild, fertile and naturally Beautiful!

Between 23 and 30, a woman is like Europe.
Well developed and open to trade, especially
for someone of real value.

Between 31 and 35, a woman is like Spain.
Very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.

Between 36 and 40, a woman is like Greece.
Gently aging but still a warm and desirable place to visit.

Between 41 and 50, a woman is like Great Britain.
With a glorious and all conquering past.

Between 51 and 60, a woman is like Israel.
Has been through war, doesn't make the same mistakes twice,
and takes care of business .

Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Canada.
Self-preserving, but open to meeting new people.

After 70, she becomes Tibet.
Wildly beautiful, with a mysterious past and the wisdom of the ages. An adventurous spirit and a thirst for spiritual knowledge.

*THE GEOGRAPHY OF A MAN

Between 1 and 100, a man is like North Korea and Russia.
Ruled by a pair of nuts!

@NoWay7790 @RexChapman ....and breeds

@JamesPreuss @AMC_DirtDollars @PenolaStation @ShearwellAust Leader & Allflex. Just found they were bigger & bulkier sitting in the ear. Composits here, so losses mainly due to heads through fences & on feeders etc

[Scott Norton @ScottWNorton]

@AMC_DirtDollars @PenolaStation We changed over to @ShearwellAust tags with much better retention

[Scott Norton @ScottWNorton]

@donzebelt @tigertuffmark That was & is shocking but a tokanistic WTC won't change that & doesn't recognise that. ANZAC commemorations recognises & remembers ALL who fought. As far as i know, ANZAC day does not say anything about whites or blacks in the war

Accident on our farm today & not only could our employee not get phone reception but when he did get a text through, the phones didn’t work in Narromine to call 000 due to tower upgrades. That’s dangerous @Telstra !!
Let people know alternative 000 is 1122 when towers are down.
