Sieves on the header after 80 ha of canola. Hadn’t seen any mice activity before harvest. And only very few running in the lights at night. Bit of a concern for cropping next season.

“I bought my first home when I was 18 which was within two years of learning to shear,” James ‘Boogie’ Ferguson told The Muster. While the financial rewards led to Boogie taking up shearing, it's the atmosphere and competition in the shed he loves most 👉thefarmermagazine.com.au/jam…

Wondering if any one has had trouble when engaging the feeder on a cr9080. When you pull the button up it engages very harshly making a rather harsh bang and doesn’t start off softly. TIA – at New South Wales, Australia

There are hundreds of these ridiculous "regulations", such as we can spray cypermethrin on leafy vegetables that we can eat 1 day later, but have to supposedly wait weeks from spraying to harvesting crops we do not eat for months later.
One of life’s inequities, I can spay barley with gramoxone and graze my sheep 24hrs later but I can’t crop top barley with gramoxone and then harvest and feed to sheep

Took this pic 23rd Sept last year on the way to Riverina GF at Narranderra. 37c on 23rd Sept 2017. Amazing that we recouped the crops we did considering >30c temps in Sept. #canola

#QTWeather: Ukraine wheat to like or not? teapawt.net/tonycfa/status/1001480…
$ZW_F $WEAT #WHEAT #Futures Amazing complacency in WHEAT here. Forget US Plains... 2/3rds of total Russia/Ukraine production & yield is determined during June~ and the 30 day forecast ain’t good! A 20-30% yld hit in biggest producer region would send global WHEAT pxs soaring.
