Love it when parts are left out for collection and your local business shows that the small things matter to them too!

Meet PGA Board Member Calum Carruth. In February, ABC Landline featured Calum and Belinda's unique goat trap yard on Murchison House Station. You can find that episode here: iview.abc.net.au/video/RF250…
The Murchison House segment starts at the 23:50 mark.

Cheaper price isn’t compensating…..

Agricultural businesses in the northern Ag region of WA are under serious threat. In my experience, label rates of registered baits are not enough to control a population that has gone exponential. Recent inspections of baited paddocks show significant removal of planted seeds despite recent baiting after seeding - in fine weather. Growers will need to apply baits more than once, which is costly. The common sense approach would be to have registered mouse baiting products that have a rate range on the label, where higher rates can be used for higher pressure. Emergency permits required asap.
