Minnie oats bulkup is going well. Seams to interow fill with lower leaves, good thing as it's a dwarf. For a low sowing rate, it's great competition. @AllanRattey @InterGrain1

Old Charlie Cowcher told my grandfather back in the 50's, an early crop is a good crop, an early calf is a good calf, and an early lamb is a good lamb. I agree, but a long dry period in May can do so much damage. This year is one of those years.

They say that at the end of every rainbow is a pot of gold. I hope they are right cause there are a few thousand ewes and lambs at the end of that rainbow, and all that oats is going to be harvested to feed those ewes and lambs. 🌈 💰💰💰

#askXag is it just me, or do many find the urea makes its way down into the furrows and very little in the interrow? .Good thing, but it's just my observation!.Bannister oats 20kms NW of Williams, Western Australia.

Bannister oats never seen rain, established only with subsoil moisture. @Equalizer_SA 9000V and @4Farmers_ Aquifier. It's a winning combination, in my opinion.

It's just one of those days. Stopped to fix a breakdown and looked back to see this. And then found something else!

I'm already checking for results. While I wait also tried to search for new jobs for former prime minister. Couldn't find anything suitable for Albo apart from gutter trash. By hey, at least he can have free travel from tomorrow!

This year's SSP is absolutely terrible stuff. Half fines, can't get an even spread. Can't get the rate rite. Wouldn't come out of the truck. Dad said it's like 70's SSP. I wouldn't mind if I was paying 70's prices of <$50/t BUT >$500/t NOT HAPPY. Who is the fertiliser regulator?

I openly invite @telstra to come to the farm and visit this weekend. The extra traffic on the Albany Highway and the impossibility of the tower handling the extra devices. 20km in either direction to 3 different towers. Edit: third attempt to upload this text because of signal.

#askxag, does BASF nodulator have to be seed coated, or can I put in a separate small seed tank? Is it prilled? Does it flow effectively through an FC metre roller? I've been using nodulaid up until now but have always been concerned about dry seeding.
