No.
We take every precaution, wellingtonfarmer, working every trick in the book, spending every necessary dollar, but sometimes, as was the case in 1988 and in 2000, and now in 2017, slug pressure will finally become all too much for any successful cereal cropping succeeding after osr here.
Unsurprisingly, 1988 and 2000 were the two previous occasions (see above) in which I "finally" decided to give up on osr.
And now, after another few years of quite good returns, and completely out of the blue, it's all of a sudden turned itself into the upcoming 2017/18 meltdown.
But anyone who got the rain we did here in June, July, August and September this time might well now easily find themselves in the same boat as me, had they actually been silly enough to take on that level of risk.
