Finished harvest last night. Family have deserted me for the week so I'm treating myself to a home grown porterhouse and some cricket, before we get into cleanup and cattle work tomorrow. @PerthScorchers have some work to do.

It's been a grind to finish, but stick a fork in us, we're done. Beautiful evening with the family and team to draw a line under long but very rewarding season. #harvest2025

It's exciting to announce that I'm running for District 1 in the CBH election with full endorsement of the candidate assessment panel. I'm an active farmer with an extensive grain industry skill set. I'm confident I can add value to District 1 growers and CBH. Vote 1 Bob Nixon.

In scenes reminiscent of the 2018 Comm Games, Perth residents are warned to be aware of a group British tourists masquerading as professional cricketers that may be planning to overstay their visas. No other explanation given for the village cricket played yesterday #Ashes2025

The criticism of the Perth test pitch is ridiculous. History said it would do a bit for a day and a half, then be a road for a couple of days, before becoming tricky in the last day or so. You're not entitled to try and go at 5 runs an over regardless of conditions #Ashes2025

Lovely day for taking off our @GroupMIG wheat variety demo. We find it a really valuable way to connect local and regional @theGRDC NVT data to the paddock. 3 varieties x 4 reps x 500m. Should get some useful data to find out if we finally have a variety to knock Scepter off.

Good evening WA woolgrowers. I’ve resurfaced after naively thinking that "wool was back" just a month ago, only to find us back in a situation where prolonged weak demand has extinguished what turned out to be a firecracker rather than a rocket. Fact is that less and less people

This has got real "self proclaimed nickname at high school" vibes. They've already tried to put this out into the world and it got abruptly shut down. They are not a bloody spy agency. And anyway, BoM is a way cooler nickname, and it's literally their name 🤦 @BOM_WA @BOM_au

Things you hate to see: England's test top order getting a good tune up in NZ ready for the Ashes. If bazball doesn't work in a one-dayer against a near no name kiwi attack, it should be fun over five days at Perth Stadium against Hoff and co.

MIG Spring Field Day. 8:15am tomorrow at the Mingenew Rec Centre. The district looks a picture at the moment. Plenty to see and smoked meats to eat. Be mad not to.

#PastureCrimes2025 Favourite time of the year. Not as impressive as last year, but still pretty handy. I'd love to see the performance of this stuff with an early break.
