Time to be a gd bugger, my house is open to Any Australian farmer that wants a break, 30mins from Chch airport So much to see &do ..... 3 empty bedrooms available...please contact me ... retweet if need be
@chriswalsh008@Oscarthefarmer Great idea. If there was a rebate, maybe more important to show increase in species diversity and abundance rather than an iron clad % of area. It gets us counting and measuring too...which will hopefully help long term with better nrm decisions.
In case you missed it: 25 beautiful wildlife images are in the running to win the @LumixUK#WPYpeopleschoice Award, and the winner will be chosen by the public. See the incredible images and the stories behind them before casting your vote.

Success! Autodrafter set up and working. Just recording weight against EID tag today. No drafting. Worked a treat. Can’t wait to start collecting data on our operation now.

Sparrow prevention program still working a treat. Dad and I built this 30 years ago. Have had lot of kestrels raised in the shed eating the mice, chasing the sparrows and the odd gangly teenager walking around the workshop floor after flight 1.0 didn't quite go to plan.
The next time you think city people don’t care about agriculture, just remember that a Melb based year 12 student contacted me this week because she wants to study (and trial!) salt tolerance in wheat. How cool is that!!! Might be coming your way soon @agronomeiste 👍
Excellent piece of journalism by @clint_jasper 👍 - informed objective and clear. Plenty of reasons to be angry at the Murray-Darling plan, but canning it solves none of them https://t.co/oIgMioYV3H @NationalFarmers@afsnsw@farmer_dj@pete_arkle
