Those ones were waratah. Never used clipex. I may have misled you in the video when I said all I had to do was clip the net on. What I meant was attach it with the ring grips. I'm sure you have them there? They're like staples that spring load into what looks like pliers..
....
Pretty simple really. ALL of our fences are electric. Zero barbed wire, zero tolerance for the s**t. Seen too many cows rip teats off jumping over old sheep fences.....steel posts will go to a dead short where as wood posts will at least leave some power in the fence.
One thing I will say is it's a breeze pushing steelies in with the Munro......hammer doesnt even fire, the weight alone pushes them in.
Must say I'm surprised that no astute eyes have commented on how wonderfully dry my paddock looks

When it's rolling, this stripper can earn $20,000 - $30,000 a day
Don't really want any down time with extra servicing or repairs . . .
So how many days a year would they factor on running that machine Roy?

just the cotton season
about four months, over a geographic range of maybe 800 - 1000km . . .
we have done about 2000 ha, with about another 10,000 ha to go
multiply that by $200 / ha
each stripper pretty much earns its value in a season

Yes. Was I on or off the money? Was hoping to talk more about the low input CPT.

I very much agree with this thought. However, “the true environmental cost” is a complicated calculation; though that’s no excuse for not trying.

Thanks Roy, that was exactly what I was trying to understand due to the investment made.
We already have it to a degree - although it is not governed correctly surprise surprise. 'IF' the ones in control of the rules and regulations actually applied Pigouvian Taxation correctly - it would change people's mindests and draw different end results to many things we do in our daily lives....

On the radio today they said Notradam is owned by the French government. The government took it from the church in the French revolution. The church leases it back, but has to pay for all maintanance and repairs.

Speaking of the environment....there wouldn't be many people here other than @Steel that would see the wonder of night when irrigating. The way the thousands of wolf spiders eyes dazzle like diamonds in the light of an Led head torch. It's like having stars at your feet rather than overhead

The iconic Notre Dame cathedral has been significantly damaged in a fire that has ripped through its roof and spire but the priceless collection of artwork inside has been recovered and authorities say the structure has been saved from total destruction.
The iconic Parisian tourists attraction was engulfed in flames just after it closed for the day. One fire fighter has been injured.
Paris locals say they are heartbroken, but not surprised.
“We said this when the 850-year old venue was sold last year” says President Emmanuel Macron.
“Why didn’t they just give it to a museum to look after, it’s a heritage listed building”
However, as Emmanuel Macron points out – for a building as delicate and timber-laden as the Notre Dame Cathedral – it was sold to possibly the most reckless type of owner there is.
A Western Queensland pub baron.
Bruce McEnroe (69), originally from Winton, surprised everyone in the back country last year when it was announced he’d taken his pub enterprise offshore, and nabbed the iconic Catholic Cathedral for an undisclosed amount.
However, as the Paris locals have pointed out in the aftermath of last night’s fire, they always knew McEnroe’s time as the owner operator of Notre-Dame was going to end badly.
“There was whispers that he’d done his arse” says local police chief Christoph Matilda (77).
“He’d struggled to get his DA approved for a woodfire pizza oven in the garden and a TAB on the ground floor”
“I know he was particularly offended when the Paris City Council wouldn’t allow him to bring pokies into the pub”
“Next thing you know, the whole f**king thing burns down and he’s filed an insurance claim within minutes of the roof caving in”
Investigators are now looking into whether or not last night’s disastrous fire was in fact an ‘Irish stocktake’ – and whether or not McEnroe’s impulsive holiday to Mooloolaba with the wife is actually legitimate.
The fact that all of McEnroe’s State Of Origin merchandise had been removed from the walls of Notre Dame before the fire has also raised suspicion.
MORE TO COME.

but, good old Gladys & the NSW Libs ( our Conservatives, for the UK contingent ) might be able to provide a solution. Pretty much their plan for Sydney . . .
Berejiklian Flies To France To Advise On Tasteful Luxury Apartments In Notre Dame Restoration
CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT
As the world grieves the partial destruction of one of European societies most treasured feats of architecture, pressure is now being applied to Australian politicians to do something to help.
Catastrophic fire that engulfed Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, gutting and destroying the landmark’s spire and stunning France and the world, has been brought under control – but is still pretty banged up.
While Malcolm Turnbull shows his true bougie colours by demanding his successor and the leader of the opposition chip in to help with the restoration of the first-world tourist attraction – Scott Morrison has vowed to not send them a cent.
While the Catholic Church now facing financially difficulty after spending hundreds of millions of dollars defending the actions of their clergymen in the courts, the real question is, how can our politicians help this nation of 70 million that hates us?
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian appears to be the only Australian politician with a spine, flying immediately to France to help President Emmanuel Macron devise his plan for restoration – and make a bit of coin in the process.
As the leader of the NSW Liberal Party, Gladys Berejiklian is one of the most qualified when it comes to desecrating heritage to turn a dollar.
“Ok” she says to the President, while walking the streets of Paris.
“There’s this company called Meriton, they’ll do it for free. You just need to somehow incorporate some luxury high rise apartments in the plans”
“It’ll be one coat of paint and you’ll be able to hear your neighbour sneeze, but it sounds like that’s still an improvement on the Catholic Church’s last reno of this joint”
“Or alternatively, you can get Star Casino to take control. They’ll do it pro-bono for a few tables and acre of pokie machines on the ground floor”
“Only problem is you’ll have to shut down every pub in the CBD to keep them truly happy”

Sounds interesting; I’ll have to google your Woolf spiders. Ours lurk about on the front wall of the house during the warm days, not sure about any nocturnal activity. Your’s are probably 10x the size, extremely venomous, and eat crocs for breakfast!Speaking of the environment....there wouldn't be many people here other than @Steel that would see the wonder of night when irrigating.

nah - our spiders are awesome
I love seeing spiders in my crops & stubble - they are great predators & form a very important role of insect control

Good old Plato and his 4 forms of government:
Democracy ( messy)
Timocracy ( only property owners have a say)
Oligarchy( rule by the privileged)
Tyranny( dictatoship)
and then a return, after a lot of suffering,to Democracy and the whole thing starts again.
We have to work very hard to make our democracies , deficient as they are, healthy.The alternatives are grim, but I inevitable according to Plato.

I COULD make a comment about management practices, soil cover / structure / carbon & adapting to a changing environment, but I'd rather just drink beer & leave them to their hand wringing & pizzle dampening. They seem to prefer it that way

This stuff was in bales, not modules
- Location
- NSW, Newstralya
what do you mean by bales ?
they are all called modules
the old basket pickers & strippers used to dump into module builders, which made the big square modules say 12m x 3m x 2m
the new round module pickers & strippers make the rounds
they all sit outside in the weather till ginned
the square modules have a tarp over the top of them, water just runs down the side ( I once had square modules sitting in about 200mm of water for a week or so after a little flood. We lost that bottom 200mm - they couldn't pick it up & it stayed on the ground ) but the rest was fine
either way, the rounds are wrapped in plastic, the squares have a tarp on top, water runs off & causes no issues
our average rainfall is higher than eastern England in places & our rainfall events tend to be a lot of heavy storm rain, but as I said, the only problem is if modules are sitting in water, or the tarp is damaged, allowing water in the top
round bales of hay will sit out here in the rain, uncovered, for a long time, water just runs off them, as long as they aren't sitting in it . . .

do you mean the small, very tightly pressed 227kg bales after ginning, that are held with metal straps ? I have only ever seen them stored in sheds for long term storage. . . If it was outside, I'm assuming it was about to be loaded onto trucks ??
