@Master4Colin @theGRDC @merindie1 @bennyob @RobGindurra @NSWDPI_AGRONOMY @CSIRO You did well getting the south Australian slug specialist in. I asked him about benefits of companion planting and he mentioned a trial planned to go ahead this year with buckwheat. Was too dry at site though. Tip my hat to the LLS food trailer too👍

@DigbyStretch @Jaco5959 😂Seems appropriate.

[Stuart @stufarm]

Tracks making it happen. Guessing you were on the edge of your seat with that one @Jaco5959 !

[Stuart @stufarm]

@davelangfield75 @lawbal44 @Jaco5959 Your right it looks more liquid than solid

[Stuart @stufarm]

@lawbal44 @Jaco5959 It’s a fine line this year Lawrence. I think I prefer it to the island of rubbish on the wet soak and the extra headlands they create.

[Stuart @stufarm]

@Binnicreeklamb @Jaco5959 There is a few random ones placed around the farm😂

It’s not great but at least the mature love grass has the decency to stick to itself and the ground.

@lawbal44 Only one pile? The rest looks great. I much prefer that cover to our burnt paddocks with the storms about still.

[Stuart @stufarm]

125mm of rain 10 days ago causing a few problems. Red steer being drafted in to help dry out paddocks for canola. Tracks and horsepower are a wonderful thing.

[Stuart @stufarm]

@lawbal44 That’s the one

[Stuart @stufarm]

Frustrating

[Stuart @stufarm]

@dkeam74 The challenge was made to use it which will take some out of the box thinking Daniel. 18mm overnight on a no rain forecast.

[Stuart @stufarm]

No he’s not repairing a pipe. Big thanks to Ian Packer and Wooly for their insights on the wet areas of our paddocks. MLL looking at an area too wet to traffic in 23 grazed cover crop with roots to 80cm not drinking enough yet.

@lawbal44 Love the song Lawrence, having trouble deciding gaelic reel or jig… still I like it.

[Stuart @stufarm]

Travel well Dad

@Fox_Farming That is certainly a serious funnel Dan. Gives a bit of flex too no doubt. The longer swing aways look to give the bigger unloads per shift. Thanks

[Stuart @stufarm]

We moved our bags to a central area with good access this year after having trouble accessing bags in the paddock last year.Slower and more labour to fill from a truck.About 8t per truck/auger move. Neighbour suggested 10ft pvc off auger to get more t per move. Any other ideas?

[Stuart @stufarm]

@charlie57316229 More like an aspiration 😁

[Stuart @stufarm]

@JarrodAmery Thanks Jared our auger is a little shorter than yours but the principle seems simple enough even if it had to be on the side a little. Thanks for sharing.

[Stuart @stufarm]

@AndrewY87296210 Ok Drew that sounds good thanks
