What a day! Around 550 attendees keen to know all they could about recovering machinery! Crux is - have a plan, know when to stay out of trouble, know your machinery, use the right gear in the right place the right way, communicate with your team, review and refine!
It’s the slow-tv-style YouTube hit educating city slickers and inspiring a new generation of farmers, all courtesy of one super-keen grain and lamb farmer from Western Victoria.

"I think in the back of his mind, like most farmers, he probably assumed it would be Matt who would come back. I don’t think he ever thought the farm was for me.” https://t.co/x7MzmNO1VR
Livestock over south-eastern parts of the country are likely to be at risk of hypothermia from Thursday to Saturday. Drought affected livestock, lambs and shorn sheep are at highest risk. Protection from wind and rain is suggested for at-risk animals.

I’m no epidemiologist and no public health expert. I do believe passionately in science and also in #Factfulness. This man is the global authority on the spread of disease. If you are a leader (in any capacity) watch this. If you are not, watch it too.
