I’m not even sure how the shire are going to fix this public road, I’ve never seen anything like it.

The best part about having a pilot driving the header, is that it doesn’t matter which dealer branch has parts in stock when broken down. We can fly them back to the farm ourself! ✈️

Harvest hack. Hungry boards on the swing away hopper for dropping the tailgate to clean out. Should be mess-free after some fine tuning.😬

Another inch 🌩 through home today takes us to 90-100mm for the last week. Very thankful to say we aren’t looking for a finishing rain.

Latest innovation! Hydraulic wheel track shift on a grizzly renovator. Shift from 2.2-3m wheel tracks in no time, handy when sharing between neighbors!

Outer boom section was “off” along neighbors fence during fungicide application. Can draw a line where the stripe rust starts and stops. Almost looks like spray drift from a distance.

Thought I would be renovating some of these tracks twice this year. Grizzly isn’t perfect but doing a tremendous job on some of these wheel tracks.

Paddocks deceivingly wet. Even where we can drive the ute and hard on top, the clay under is saturated when you break through. Couldn’t quite get back on the CTF tracks.

Sometimes it’s hard to pick the wind speed and direction from the tractor cab. Cost nothing to hang a peice of rag off the boom to see conditions and changes.

A new addition to our weather station project is real time inversion monitoring across the district. Another powerful tool for safer spraying and better decision making.

Mess-free funnel storage. Saw the idea on Twitter some time ago, can’t remember who or where, but what a great idea. PVC pipe with holes in it.

Brown manure vetch should have a full profile. Glad I didn’t sow lentils here. Would’ve been a lower single-year gross margin than fallow.

Extremes of our wheat, sown first and last. It will be interesting how they compare end of season. Rockstar sown 23rd April, Scepter sown 18th May. Both on lentil stubble.

Lentils have been hanging on really well given the wet, 80mm over the weekend on this paddock is resulting in some flood irrigation now. Could run for a week. 🤷♂️

Canola likely to finish with more moisture than it started with, too early to be optimistic about next season?

120+mm for the last 6weeks has make things pretty damp. Lentils holding up although I think the yellow patches might turn into big yellow patches soon. 🤔😰

Every farmer needs one of these. Electronic load tester. Find out if batteries are stuffed or just flat in seconds. Well worth the $. 👍

Plenty of flowers on the Trident canola now. Does anyone else do their time of sowing “trials” right along the main roads?🤔

In case you were wondering, no, hybrid seed is not worth the extra money to sow at 20kg/ha. 🙉
