Started harvesting mung beans today, I thought you fellas might like this.

Electric roll over tarps & scales ( weights are crucial to trucks here, the authorities come down really hard on overloading & it is heavily policed - many delivery locations will also refuse to accept overloaded trucks ), all accessible from the drivers phone

I saw some footage of the Stawell Gift, looked a bit damp.
Hot n dry here, but some rain forecast for Thursday, by which time we’ll have finished the mungs.

270 ha, but we will have 2 x 12m harvesting them tomorrow & 2 road trains
Thursday heading off for 3 weeks up into the blue mountains and surrounding area with the caravan so it will start to rain then, hey ho.
