I was wondering if you were going to refer to this article on here KP……while the others on here probably haven’t seen the comments on Facebook I thought they ranged from unnecessarily judgement to complete rubbish.

It has been weird alright when there is a wind they will only last a few hours same with a gale and they have tend to be at night….generally I would say the last 4-5 years there has be far less westerlies more easterlies when there is a wind…..nothing one would could call a harvest wind. I...

“Stuff all westerlies” that’s an understatement KP wind has almost been nonexistent from any direction this season!!!!

One of the new fads here is barley with clover 2 cuts of balage and then bale feed cows on the same paddock over winter. The clover is suppose to provide the N but As you mentioned it takes clover 4years to fix significant amounts….I have questioned a couple of field techs about this and have...

Totally agree with that and similar to my thinking so I can’t have lost it yet!

They don’t say what’s in the mix at all……

It’s the “after 35 days” that I’m questioning my understanding was seedlings live on the nutrients within the seed for about 2 weeks so that bring it down to 20 odd days for root mass growth and interaction with soil biology

This is floating around Facebook…..bottom photos are 35days after a cover crop sown with some bio stimulates by a regen farming advisor in the north island what do you guys think?

They did 22ha/load about an hour spraying, 30 to 45mins to load up.

I had lime flour put on. mine was applied by a contractor with a tow and fert multi 4000 I have a photo but it doesn’t seem to want to load. Kiwi built machine holds up to 5ton fert suppended in water

Yeah bit nuts isn’t it…..169mm of rain here since the start of Dec. sounds like quite a few dairy farmers have fed out their winter balage around here don’t know how they will replace it, know one guy feeding 80 bales a day!!!!!!!….so guess rural support will need all the 100k and some.🤷‍♂️

Beans excellent!!! I’m out of slingshot ammo👍

How long did it take to psych yourself up to use the plough there Pete

Couldn’t agree more but my contractor is the other way round sends an account once a year!!!!! No idea how he does it🤷‍♂️ Know one guy who got a account for 80k one year

Yeah close…the haters go with groundsunwell but I think it was meant to be ground swell those on the land rising up against dumb regs. That’s my take anyway.

Reported Sector GDP is earnings minus expenses so really shows the profitability of each sector…..nothing to do with exports though that’s reported separately. These GDP figures are used by the anti farming brigade to argue farming isn’t needed……but forget 15 odd billion appears in other sectors...

Looks like it’s going to be another beautiful sunny day here…..I asked about shade because yesterday for 20mins on talkback they had the boss of MPI and an rather annoying activist on. The activist wants inspectors and laws to enforce shade and other stuff. Also wants people to ring MPI to...

Over here there’s a few starting to make some noise about animal shelter and shade on sunny days. Are you guys getting this too?
