I worked for 20 years in "Big Ag" so you don’t have to. This is what they don’t want you to know:-

The lastest long range ECMWF to the 20th of November and the 15th of December. Use them for a guide only. What is important is that moisture signals continue to trend, don't get too focused on totals. Specifics from models beyond a few days aren't overly reliable. We are

It's going to be a wet week for large areas of Australia. This is how much rain the ECMWF-HRES model is predicting over the next 7 days. If this comes off, we can expect to see widespread outback flooding and road closures.

@DavidSandow1 I think its worse than that. What ive found in being in the auction industry since 1987 is we are the coal face of the economy in terms of buyer behavior and demands. Inthink the reserve bank has over stepped and the economy will/is falling off a cliff.

Day 4 of the flood here just west of Moree. Usually by the morning of Day 3 the water would be dropping quite quickly and we’d expect to be mobile again in the afternoon, but we’re still at a higher level here than peaks of last 3 floods. This will be a long haul.

"The damage is horrific and extensive." Moree Mayor Mark Johnson says the flooding has hit the farmers in his region particularly hard, especially after they've already endured a tough couple of years.

The Gurley Creek this morning 22/10, as big as it was in 2001. That’s my road to town running top to bottom through the gap in the trees. Meets the Moomin Ck just to right of pic and fills all dryland fields outside levee. Luckily no wheat in here this year

All smiles here! Helicopter ground crew, Coalby Day, and Jenevieve McLennan from Alstonville and Grafton working over the weekend @Coraki to ensure the urea gets out on the sugarcane before the expected rain this week. #coastalag #nextgenAG #sugarcane #mcgregorgourlay

The RFS team who came in today and hosed & swept our shed for hours. The team at Hayman’s Electrical next door who invited us to their BBQ. Family of our staff who’ve brought us food and drink and helped scrub the place clean. And our crew. Amazing people all.

But you get to see the best of people. The two blokes who pulled up to our site yesterday with a water truck and high pressure hoses and did 2 days work in a couple of hours. The old ladies pulling trolleys along the street with sandwiches they’ve made for strangers.

It’s hard to convey what has happened to Lismore unless you see it first hand. The town has been absolutely wrecked, most buildings gutted.

Urea - India has come back to the market quickly with IPL to hold a new purchasing tender 11 Nov for shipments to end-Dec. This comes less than 5 days after RCF booked just 465kt. Bids from traders and manufacturers invited. This is unwelcome news for buyers in other markets.

A great thread for anyone trying to understand some of the underlying issues behind the current shipping crisis.
Yesterday I rented a boat and took the leader of one of Flexport's partners in Long Beach on a 3 hour of the port complex. Here's a thread about what I learned.

Fertilizers production has become so uneconomical in #Europe that current curtailed production could be permanently shut if the EU does not take swift action to halt the natural #gas price rises, says trade group @FertilizersEuro @ICIS_JonLopez #ICIS #Urea #Nitrates #Fertiliser

Today I have a question for you... at what point do farmers say they can't afford #fertilizers such as #urea and stop buying or dramatically reducing their purchases? Urea prices are up 189% or triple of last year. #ICIS #Agriculture #Grain #Commodity #Gas #GasCrisis #Farming
