@filfarina @IntirrTim Very interesting, a lot more science to it than I expected!

Tennis tournament in Donald meant a detour to Birchip for Australia’s best Vanilla slice - one for all the aficionados in the family!

Tough gig in the horti space with this result 😢

Sunday Crop walk results:
For most the rain is awesome, spare a thought for those it isn’t
Visited spud pivots today for a couple customers, most have so far survived significant rainfall, a couple not so much.

This pivot had no irrigation for the last week, even on the last 35 degree day trying to make room for rain, should it come this weekend.
Yesterday: 80mm
Today: 10mm so far

Losses likely in the order of 1,800t

🤞🤞

@HarrisonSchust1 Amazing! 👏

Interesting flight pattern here - maybe into the NY celebrations early!

@CorbinSchuster Was driving around the area Monday watching balers going flat out and thinking the same thing yesterday morning with to rain! Cruel game farming!

Start the day as you mean to go on

@WheatWatcher Interestingly, was speaking with another guy who was going to import a second hand JD 250hp to AUS from NZ. Even after costs he expects to save about $70k, plus it’s done about 2000 hours less

Good morning Geelong

[Tom Rymill @Tom_Rymill]

@harrimar1 You should have volunteered to drive for a few hours!

[Tom Rymill @Tom_Rymill]

@harrimar1 @PenolaStation Gee whiz, there’s one for every day of the week and then some! Thanks for tagging @PenolaStation 🙈

@knightd73 No, 🤞 for this weekend 🌧️

Crutching the last lambs this morning before a truck 🧊 -3C

@JamieNicolaou There were some dripper lines but not used obviously. I think once they get up and away they survive on their own.
Bit sad to see as they were often planted by migrants who moved and started market gardening there

That dry on the Northern Adelaide Plains for the last 2 years that even the olive groves have turned up their toes 🫒

[Tom Rymill @Tom_Rymill]

@SimonCotter62 Yes, I’ve never seen that before. Last year was extremely dry and this year isn’t any better so it’s taken a toll on them!

[Tom Rymill @Tom_Rymill]

Breakfast time for the ladies! 🐑

[Tom Rymill @Tom_Rymill]

@SimonCotter62 Did see a review about this suggesting they’ve fixed turbo issues on 2025 plate vehicles. Hopefully that’s the case, I think this looks a pretty decent option especially straight from the factory

[Tom Rymill @Tom_Rymill]

@JamieNicolaou Ours was similar and hadn’t claimed in almost 10 years!
