@ipaddockapps I've still got my 2005 Rodeo, if that helps🤣

@soupercocky People in my current industry bring the rice and cotton water usage up in conversation but don't expect the onslaught I give. I slap them with almond water usage, also the difference between seasonal vs permanent plantings.

@NickRonfeldt If Santa and his Ho Ho Ho is on strike. I'd lean towards the good ole Diquat/Paraquat mix. High water rate and at worst it'll make them brown, at best they'll die🤷

After 9 months waiting on Sitro group Australia to send warranty parts for my Oklahoma Joe pellet grill, they turned up a week ago just in time for a Christmas cookup. I'm about as exited as unpacking the very first time

This harvest is starting to remind me of a ex girlfriend, looked amazing at the beginning I liked taking pics to show my friends but every simple task was made extremely difficult my wallet was empty and by the end I’d developed and nervous twitch and mental health was shot

@PSS_David Should've stayed up in Dysart, plenty of heat here at the moment

[Thomas Forge @FarmWorkerBoy]

@PitstickFarms I'd call it a "bonus row"

[Thomas Forge @FarmWorkerBoy]

@cottonfarmgirl I've only measured 25mm so far this week. Seen some good storms go around. I know we'll get a storm sooner or later

[Thomas Forge @FarmWorkerBoy]

@farmercate2 Be interested to see how the 606 goes. It looked awesome in the dryland here in a dry year, surprised quite a few people on it's performance

[Thomas Forge @FarmWorkerBoy]

@cottonfarmgirl Starting to look like Central Qld is catching up to the La Nina. We've had a whole lot less than that in Dysart though

[Thomas Forge @FarmWorkerBoy]

Don't get me wrong, I think full electric vehicles have their places like as forklifts in coolrooms, but to even contemplate mandating EV's for rural, regional and remote areas is terrible.

[Thomas Forge @FarmWorkerBoy]

I'm trialing what it'd be like owning an EV. The alternator died so I gotta plan ahead where I can stop to charge the battery to get the ute home.
So far I can say, yes it works, but far far less convenient and enjoyable having to stop to charge

@roseycatherine I haven't helped in this, though I left Ag 15yrs ago due to drought, lack of future and prospects in a city. Now in mining and many people I work with are from a Ag background.
Mainstream media constantly saying Ag is underpaid or part paid in produce compound the problem

[Thomas Forge @FarmWorkerBoy]

Something I thought was so cool when it first came out, but decided there was more practical things to spend money on.

Absolutely surprised when the family bought me this for my birthday.

@agwithemma John Deere needs to come up with an ad like this, but again there's no need for gimmicks when it just performs👍

[Thomas Forge @FarmWorkerBoy]

@cottonfarmgirl Central Queensland has definitely put on some good ones over the last week

[Thomas Forge @FarmWorkerBoy]

As a person living with chronic pain I get judged on a regular basis as people only see me when things are good, never on bad days.
I totally understand this

[Shane Matthew Neave @shane25873]

Please note not all people with disability parking, are in a wheelchair.
I don’t use one. But I have a lot of difficulty walking. My pain can get worse when I’m on my feet too long, as well.

[The Bradfield Party 🌸😎🇦🇺🚛 @BradfieldThe]

The biggest threat to Australian Agriculture is our failure to secure base load power

Governments will dial up hydro during winter to cover up their electricity supply mistakes

And when there is limited water available for irrigation they'll just blame old mate Climate Change

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Only thing more remarkable than DOJ not leaking the list is that no one in the media cares. Doesn’t that seem odd?
