We are biggest mobs dry here again, drought never seems far away. I just put a few more thoughts down on paper, you don’t have to be in drought, burnt out or flooded to use these tools.

You can’t ID from a bad photo. iPhone tips: Tap screen to focus. Touch & drag 1x 🔎 control for precise zoom. Try to get few pics from different angles. Close up of head + side of ‘grubs’ is important. Macro phone clip-on lenses are available online and can help. Include a coin or pen etc. as scale if needed #PestFacts @theGRDC

@brodenholland @agrobaz @CWFS_Condo At this stage it looks like that’s what is legislated. A bit of light reading for more info.

@agrobaz @CWFS_Condo This is the slide I saw at one of these Carbon workshops earlier in the year. If you meet 2 of the 3 in the blue boxes, you’ll have to start reporting.
My concern is the cost of time or the cost of paying someone to calculate it when margins are as tight as they are

@MartinMurray_Ag Wrong colour tractors for your dogs isn’t it? 😉

On the lookout to help a really good mate. He’s a cinematographer (involved in filming Pirates of Caribbean and Mad Max) does TV commercials and is a great still photographer.
But since post covid work has dried up completely. Will do anything from commercials to safety videos1/2

@NtDrifter @AdamCoffeyNT Did you work it out George?
Scroll so the options come up below your photos, as you scroll down you’ll see “Pinned Collections”. Favourites is in that (at least on my phone). Very inconvenient change really, can’t see it making things easier.

With a large part of communication being to effectively listen, remember that often your friends just need to tell you their problem, they don’t need your solution. By verbalising the issues, often they find their own solution. Listening is such a good problem solver.

Working in Mental Health myself with the #6bs… this is a powerful movie. Im man enough to admit there was a few moments of “Sand in my eyes”

There is one particular scene that hit home especially hard for me.
Absolutely brilliantly done movie.

Anthony Hall Memorial Award for Farming Excellence
This awards reduces the impact of yield points by changing their value from 10pts/t to 1pt/t to emphasise the intricacies of good agronomy & good farming systems. In some years yield differences can be largely rainfall based.
