NSW Government is bulldozing trees in Durridgere State Conservation Area to build powerlines for the Central-West Orana REZ. This isn’t isolated, they’re destroying native bushland. Nothing “green” about these renewables. 🌳😔

Jacinta Allan you’ve put a knife through the heart of the CFA, its volunteers. Come and try these on for size and put yourself on the front line. I bet good money (that you’ve just taken) that it’s just the start of it. Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile.

Goroke fire last night from Kaniva strike team. Quite a spectacle under unfortunate circumstances.

Bendoc IMI beans soaking up the October rainfall, looking very clean with no signs of disease or insects. Fingers crossed for a strong finish 🤞🏽

What are farmers doing about crossing the border into Bordertown for essential work? Need to get across to deliver a load of lambs to JBS!

Looking to upgrade our round baler to either a New Holland or John Deere, around the 2010 era. What’s everyone’s experiences with them and what’s the good, bad, ugly? Retweets appreciated 👍🏽

#BOM has released its autumn #rainfall outlook with SA #cropping areas having a 60-70% chance of exceeding median rainfall from March to May 2020. #Autumn temperatures have an equal chance of being above or below average in SA according to the forecast.

Very interesting morning looking at the new Premos pelletizer by Krone, shithouse conditions for a demo but still great to see it running. Looking forward to seeing this be fine tuned in the years to come and what this product can offer for agriculture

CLEARFIELD WHEAT VARIETIES What’s everyone’s experience with clearfield wheat varieties? We are currently growing Grenade and are looking to change. Seems to be a bastard to thrash and always throws out the back at harvest. Boys in the header are sick of it! Please retweet 👍🏽
