@john_macgowan Safer than Libs seats but have a look at the trends over the last few elections - it’s been awful

[Progressive Agriculture @progressiveagri]

@JakeWolki I’ve seen these debates up close and it’s incredible what people will call ‘prime agricultural land’. I understand farmers don’t want to live next door to industrial facilities. That’s a totally valid argument against renewable developments, not the BS from some advocates.

A large dumping of rain and strong winds swept across NSW over the weekend, leaving widespread damage. This video from Yenda, NSW, exhibits some of the destruction caused by the weather.

You know those pens that you have no idea how they came into your possession, but stick around for ages?

This is that pen. Thanks AJ & CS Milne Butchers Hillston and apologies to the person from whom it was stolen.

@Jeremy_Morton_ @MartinMurray_Ag @Oscarthefarmer @JustMeVictoria_ @aksnowden @samanthawan @ChatGPTapp @white @WheatWatcher @Meat_Watcher Piano? Looks to have been snapped around Junee. They did get the swarthy tones right though.

@Jeremy_Morton_ @MartinMurray_Ag @Oscarthefarmer @JustMeVictoria_ @aksnowden @samanthawan @ChatGPTapp @white @WheatWatcher @Meat_Watcher Ummm not sure about that rice layout

[Progressive Agriculture @progressiveagri]

@WheatWatcher He’s right about seed oils. They should be confined to lubricating machinery. A metabolic disaster.

[Progressive Agriculture @progressiveagri]

@CKMonty Is it being grown for fibre or seed?

[Progressive Agriculture @progressiveagri]

@frogfarmer1 Or anyone can just experiment with both and find out. Having done that myself, beating arthritic pain, asthma, becoming lean, etc I’m pretty confident that being told to eat carbs instead of saturated fats isn’t great health advice.

Anyone who runs dorpers/ shedders willing to share what twice a year lambing looks like as a management timeline? Or key learning to do it successfully? #askx #ausag

I’m a big believer there’s no such thing as good luck just a combination of preparation and opportunity. But frost takes the cake this year for bad luck. Swales stem frosted halfway through grainfill. Spaded dunes untouched. Thanks to @OsterCharlie for mowing it down

[Rohan Brill @brill_ag]

Frost really starting to show its effects in all crops here now. Tomorrow’s field day has some of the most experienced agronomists on this topic area in attendance. Well worth attending to help make rational decisions with current crops
