The real ground zero impacts of the Trump / Albo meeting in the Whitehouse. Greenland rejected the US, war torn Ukraine said fuck off and Albo has happily sold our soul for a measly 2.75% in royalties to the people who own the resource. And will ruin our land to cap it off

A gut wrenching day for the generational farming families east of Minyip today. We are the pawns in global politics who are having their soul given away for a pittance. The economic claims are fundamentally flawed as the economic modelling has simply not been done.

What about the other Donald? As @AlboMP prepares to meet @realDonaldTrump in #Washington this evening, we’re calling on the Fed/State Govts to ensure farmers & regional communities are not ignored in the rush to secure rare earth minerals. More: https://t.co/15druyB5A9

Slashing the speed limit is a knee-jerk reaction that won't fix the problem. The dire state of our country roads is a major safety issue and the buck stops with governments to provide roads that are safe to drive on. More @theweeklytimes: https://t.co/LM8Euz1RxB

Started cutting some Kingbale oats today. On some of our lighter country and fortunate to have them germinate early. The keen eye will see I’m checking stubble height, I think it’s ok? @Warwick_Long @DMAg_consultant @InterGrain1

Wouldn't normally use X as a place to sell goods, but if anyone's in the market for a Duraquip Tornado A-trailer (2 compartment belly-dumper), ours is for sale. Reason for the sale, we've upgraded to a B-trailer Tornado for use in a road train combination. Have used it as our

Vetch hay starting going down with Mr 12yr old taking the Tedder rake duties very seriously. Setting up for quality hay using the Hayguard accelerated method again. Surely this will make it rain 🤷‍♂️

Annual reminder to never ever walk under swing auger when it’s in the air. First touch of hydraulics this year and it came crashing down from full height when cable broke. Had a neighbour killed years ago from this, so is always on my mind. @AgGrowthIntl

What's that saying?...a picture is worth a thousand words. The @theheraldsun's Mark Knight sums up the thoughts of many below. We're calling on the government to stump up for a major energy transition reset. More: https://t.co/PVJA5mBZs5

Please take the time to tell the crossbench you stand with your fellow farmers and not allow draconian overreaching powers that plough through landowners rights and circumvent proper process and consultation
📢Later today, the Vic Legislative Council will begin debating the VicGrid Stage 2 Reform Bill. The vote is on a knife’s edge... We need you to call or email a crossbench MLC today, before debate kicks off, urging them to oppose the Bill! More: https://t.co/HfaUPIVCPl

This is extremely graphic. Activists with no knowledge of local ecosystems were instrumental in preventing control of dingoes in NW Vic in 2024. Since then 1 local farmer alone has recently lost 400 lambs to dingo attack. @Steve_Dimo please don’t turn your back on rural Victoria
Another brutal start to the day. 2 prime ewes mauled and now deceased. 2 more being monitored. Tracks located and DEECA cameras onsite captured dingos entering this paddock https://t.co/oxaQOlhG8V
