My brother had many odd sayings and DJ names but this time of year it was all about “being balls deep in alkaloid” or “up to your nuts in opium”. Bit of a common theme... either way I… https://t.co/sz4G1DCxcw

5 days later and we have the rape germinating. Love how we managed to inter-row sow it between the oats. Roundup a day before sowing and sheep off on Tuesday! https://t.co/hfYm3BTvhd

The boys a few weeks ago at shearing. It will take about a year for that wool under their bums to make it to a shop in the best case scenario but more than likely it will be closer to two… https://t.co/wgU2mHV1eY
