Finished harvest today. A real mixed bag, but overall a really pleasant result given the season and a relativelytrouble free run . Massive thanks to Martin from Great Southern Bearings for opening the shop for me yesterday arvo to keep the pre Xmas finish alive. 🙂🍻

Scenes from around the farm this last week.. hay and silage heading off to some happy cows, next seasons seed getting put away, bit of wheat coming off and forage sorghum up and away after some unseasonable heavy rain 🍻 @ryan_milgate @Albeveridge1 @Doctor_650

A week on the farm. Never a dull moment, from full noise harvesting, to 38ml of rain, to drilling some summer crops to to make use of the moisture. Back harvesting the last couple of days @Doctor_650 @ryan_milgate @Albeveridge1

This country was bluegum stumps this time last year. Bit of lime and pigshit and a lot of cleaning up and it produced a very nice hay crop @Albeveridge1 @ryan_milgate @bellseeds

Hard to hide from this referendum.... even @abclandline thinks its an agricultural issue clearly, dedicating majority of their news to it... @Albeveridge1 @ryan_milgate @Doctor_650

Awesome day at the @far_australia @GRDCSouth hyper yielding crops site at Frankland. This site never disappoints 🙂 Long may this critical research into lifting yields in the HRZ continue

Bit of a longshot but does anyone in WA have 500kg minimum of NEO barley that they didn't end up seeding this year? Need to reseed a flooded paddock when conditions allow, looking to bulk up. @InterGrain1 @G_ctrain
