Perfect except where’s the seed broadcaster?Finished a little project today. Added an interchangeable flat roll and levelling fingers to a trailed slitter I had. Works really wellView attachment 945043View attachment 945044View attachment 945045View attachment 945046View attachment 945047

What was once an almost every day occurrence is now a rear oddity.
Store cattle have settled well in their field, the grass may be sh!t but at least they have a view

That was debated. And for how quickly it sold and the amount of interest there was I'm now regretting it

It worried me when he said he has a pressure washer for the house. Most of us just have vacuum cleaners!Don't worry, I'm no Mrs Hinch. The kitchen floor has tiles that are designed to look a bit mottled and dirty so you don't notice the pawprints etc and the floor only gets scrubbed a couple of times a year.
As for @Robert K , I'd have to tidy up and jet-wash everything before I dared let him into the house. Either that or wave the smelling salts under his nose to keep him upright.

I missed that bit! Yep, vacuum cleaner and an old toothbrush for the grouting if inspiration and madness strikes.

Sorghum not far off harvest - sometime after predicted rain of next week
f**k - these mungs beans have some potential ( $1000 / tonne )
No N applied, apart from a liquid NPKZn starter fert at planting, which would have been about 2kg / ha of N

What sort of yield are you hoping for with the mungs? So good to see you having some decent crops at last.Sorghum not far off harvest - sometime after predicted rain of next week

thanks
although they are a high value crop, they are quite low yielding & can be a bit “hit & miss”, hence their nickname of Mongrel Beans
For budget / cashflow purposes, I usually work on 1 tonne / hectare, which is still quite profitable.
I am expecting more, but I will update you after harvest ( if you remind me

2 days ago the Shetland escaped in to a 50 acre field.....
Yesterday I was a strong and independent contractors wife and I took the truck down the field to pick the battery up, brought it home, charged it and drove it back last night. Checked it was working and we were good to go
Take him back down the field today....10 seconds and he runs straight through the fence again

just to be a pedant - spiders & snakes etc aren’t poisonous, they are venomous . . .
tbh, I love seeing spiders in my crops, nature’s little pest control & an indication that I’m not “poisoning” my environment

Mate has been carting crushed plaster board s**t for blokes at Urana. They farm from Condo and Nyngan to Urana , Jerilderie , Yarrawonga and Tungamah. 60,000 ac of winter crops last year. His boss estimated they would have grossed $35 million. Bought 4 new case headers and fronts last season , their own crop duster for this year as well.
